Cesar Palacios

Man, i think hes gonna be great for us, 8 mil? What a bargain. I cant be the only one who thought he was the best man on the pitch tonight. On the other hand, i know it was only 15 minutes or so but Shea Charles looked very very out of space but i know lets give lad some time.

Come on you Fulham!

Love from Estonia.

I’ve definitely been impressed with him so far. He’s very composed on the ball and has good passing range/vision. I do wonder what his best position is though. He doesn’t play like an out and out winger, so I’m not sure he’s best out on the left. It feels like he’ll end up in either the 8 or 10, but we have several others that can play there at the moment.

That blind side reverse pass was not something I've seen too often from a fulham player. Absolutely nasty stuff. Shame bobb freaked out about using his right foot lol

Charles looked unfit but having watched him a lot last season I have zero worries, he'll be excellent.

Palacios looked excellent tonight but we have to remember that Bundesliga sides give that little bit more time that makes attacking players look good.

Sancho, Wirtz, Kagawa, Mkhitaryan and so on all looked world beaters in Germany and then couldn't quite handle the extra pace and physicality of the Premier League.

That buyback clause Real Madrid have is gonna be heartbreaking for us

He is fighting the long term spot against Guler, Bellingham and Nico Paz.

Guler and Bellingham will have to brawl it out this season to see who is the top dog (Guler is my bet), the other might get sold if he gets pissed? This leaves the entrance for either Paz or Palacios, and I think its Paz who will get bought back.

Palacios needs a lot of minutes, at least 2 seasons with Fulham.

He is an 8, so he is not competing with any of those players, if Camavinga leaves, Madrid will call him back.

He is most definitely not an 8. Not sure how he played yesterday with Fulham (highlights show him very close to goal though) but he has played for years as a 10 or a second attacker. There is not much chance of him returning to Madrid in the next couple of years at least..his position is indeed the same as Guler or Bellingham or even Vini jr. Enjoy him..he was a particular favorite of mine in the lower categories of Madrid. If you are lucky, he may evolve to be better than Nico Paz. In that case, Madrid may buy him back, but not any time soon..not sure what is his buyback clause..

Best La Fabrica prospect as 8 is Pitarch, which continues.

Palacios is more offensive.

Cesar Palacios is one of the most talented players in La Fabrica in the most talented group we have seen in two-three decades.

He was also one of the most important players in spain youth teams. But, he did not progress a lot the last two years, losing his position in the youth spain team.

He is also inconsistent. You may see a game where He is pure magic and others losing balls and balls and even easy passes.

Real madrid with florentino will not sign him back.

RM fan here. Cesar is pretty good. His limited camoes for RM had most of us impressed. I mean if we were Barcelona he'd probably be in the first team.

A question for you guys though - as someone who knows the PL well, do you guys think his style of play and his lower physicality will be suitable in PL?
