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?
