Cole Palmer

[BlueMoonRisin’]

I am not at all happy about this. I think he's great and want him to be very successful.
Not sure how I am supposed to want the best for him if he's playing for a team that will be one of our rivals again at some point.

Plenty of blues feel like you do mate including me.

A daft move but nevermind. At least it is a decent fee. Doku is a good option and hopefully a couple of our EDS lads will be stepping up as well.

Are we done this window after Palmer and Cancelo departs? No more incomings?

Daylight robbery from City.

The kid has only paid 19 games for City. Maddison went to Spurs for the same amount and a much bigger body of work.

Pep knows best but personally I’m a bit pissed off with this.I think he will be a very very good player and I hope I’m wrong now!

There’s nothing wrong with that either. I understand why many do feel that way but others see it the other way and that’s ok as well. Trust the process.

45M for Cole Palmer is great business by us. He’s played nearly 2K senior minutes and has 7 goals. Couldn’t break into the team in the last 3 years. He’s got a lot of potential but that’s it really. Hasn’t shown much of it either. Sucks to see a homegrown guy like him leave to a rival but this was an offer that’s very difficult to say no to given his career so far..

 

[Roachy]

Disappointed he's going.

 

[Blue and true]

I'm not gonna lie, I'm a bit gutted. I accept they'll be a reason why Pep isn't playing him but he's a cracking young player and who knows what would have happened had he been given a sustained run in the team.

I hope he doesn't explode at Chelsea, but I'd say there's a good chance he will. I'll say one thing, Doku better prove to be the best thing since sliced bread.

I'm on the fence about it as others seem to be... As long as it doesn't have implications for Foden going back out on the wing then I'm good with it but I fear one Doku injury will see him back out there hugging the touchline when Palmer could have potentially been the one to step in. Time will tell.
