It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

[Tugay One Cup]

You are hell bent in spinning Palmer being as effective as Foden at City when he clearly wasn't.

Right now he's more effective than our entire team put together.

 

[RayCTID]

Right now he's more effective than our entire team put together.

But no guarantees he would have replicated his Chelsea form if he stuck around.

 

[RayCTID]

He hardly got opportunities, and when he did, it's not like he won MOTM in the Super Cup or anything... wait....

He had plenty. Didn't register a single in in the Premier League.

Right now he's more effective than our entire team put together.

So are dozens of players in the premier league at the moment. Doesn’t make them all the right players to build our future around. It would be nice if he was still around now but he’s not so forget about him.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

But no guarantees he would have replicated his Chelsea form if he stuck around.

Never any guarantees but he's already shown he thrives in a shite dysfunctional side.

We weren't disfunctional at the time at City. We just won the treble.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

So are dozens of players in the premier league at the moment.

And he's better than pretty much all of them.

It would be nice if he was still around now but he’s not so forget about him.

Why? We made a huge mistake and it's pretty evident we didn't learnt from it.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

We weren't disfunctional at the time at City. We just won the treble.

And Mourinho was once one of the best managers in the sport. Times change.

Am I though? Have I ever said he was as effective as Foden? It has absolutely nothing to do with it

He wasn't sold because he wasnt effective. He was sold because we refused to let him go out on loan. Foden would have been as well if he at any moment pushed for a loan when it was clear that he could have started more regularily for any other team. Luckily he didn't. Palmer did. And Man City lost in that scenario. Not Palmer. Not Chelsea. Not a win-win scenario because our already performing aging players managed to win another title despite selling a young squad player. We lost that and will be reminded of it for the next 15 years because he is absolutely mustard.

And currently we have young players on the bench while our senior players stink the place out. Think we will learn?

But only because he doesn’t smoke 40 a day,

Absolutely smashing it on a diet of crayons and chippy chips. Proper player, that.

Foden's earlier stats prove other wise. Scored plenty in his second season.

Murillo at Forest is exactly what our back 4 needs

would love him or Schlotterbeck in for that left side.

Which should have nothing to do with actually identifying what we have with Palmer when he instantly became a world-beater as soon as we sold him. Lets ignore that he scored goals both in the community shield and the super cup final in the limited minutes he got before he were sold that season. Lets further ignore that only 18 months later we need a player like him, and there isnt really too much value in the market.

Do you seriously believe that because Foden got through there wasnt space for Palmer? Or maybe, just maybe we should have managed the squad a little bit better, and whoops another homegrown world-beater?

He played the equivalent of five games worth of minutes in the PL you donkey... If that's enough time for you to quit on a player, then you're as dumb as Pep and Txiki were...

The problem with selling Palmer wasn’t we sold him. He needed that move to develop, he wouldn’t be the player he is now without leaving city.

The problem was we didn’t insert the usual incentives like sell on, buy back, right to match a bid. Probably because we thought 45m was a great deal at the time.

 

[super_city_si]

Let it go with palmer. It’s done and he’s not coming back. Let’s get back on the rumour mill and possibilities.

Agree. We either need to develop the next Palmer or buy the next palmer. Shit happens.
