Kasey Palmer has been relishing the motivation of proving Nigel Pearson wrong after finally being able to find a place he can call home.
The attacking midfielder fell out of favour under the Robins manager with his final appearance in the Championship for City coming in the 2-1 defeat against Nottingham Forest in October 2021. It epitomised his three years at the club with Lee Johnson and Dean Holden also failing to get the best out of his technical ability.
City finally cut their losses this summer by allowing Palmer to join Championship rivals Coventry City for a nominal fee and taking a hefty hit on the £3.5million they paid Chelsea in 2019. Albeit, more importantly, managing to get his high salary off the wage bill.
