Just managed to watch the sky 26 minute highlights. that chance at the end sums up where he is - staying in the squad based on goodwill because he’s mancunian.

he might not be good enough for the premier league let alone a city squad player

By that logic Tommy Doyle should be in the City squad for life.

Are you a new fan, or haven’t you been watching very closely?

If you genuinely believe that our club & Pep operates in that manner, I’m afraid there’s a village somewhere which is missing their idiot

i had my first season ticket in 1989 thanks
 
Seems to me palmer is the scape goat for a team that was poor all round. The very best miss far easier chances than the ones he had. They were on target, what more do you want. The lad had an assist in previous games and very nearly another if not for a dodgy var review. He did well to get into those goal scoring positions and he’s had very limited game time to actually make an impact. He might not be on Phil’s level but he has what it takes.

Well done you

Guess you can’t have been watching very closely then if you believe Pep would have a player in his squad who hasn’t earned their spot, just because they were Mancunian

Unless of course you are that person the village is missing? ;)

they’re academy squad players - thats what we have. doesnt make them good enough for anything other than making the numbers work

Actually, you're wrong again, Cole isn't an academy player and has not played a single game for the ED's all season

I don't believe he has the ability or the intelligence to succeed at city, his decision making is poor, he is making up the numbers at the moment as we have a small squad.

Since the "prem soon come" moment he has gone downhill fast and every time he plays I don't see any sign of recovery, I can understand loaning him just in case he needs a bump start at a team where he will get much more game time in case he comes good cut I wouldn't be upset if he was to leave, with a buyback just in case.

He needs to be playing, week in, week out.
A loan to a Championship side would do him good

How many starts has he had? You can not judge a young player after half dozen games! Played mature a different ages

I don't think we are the place to risk playing him from the start though, unfortunately he hasn't shown that when he has had game time we can trust him with starts, which I do think he could benefit from a loan and we get to see if he shows any progression if he does get consistent starts.

He did when he first came into the team he had a bad injury that set him back and not even established players been getting starts when you have to win every game the best players start.

I think that’s incredibly harsh on a player who’s barely been given a chance and been injured. If he didn’t have the intelligence or good decision making I don’t think he’d be in the squad or be trusted to come off the bench

He’s 100% has the potential, but he’s a young player so it’s hard to predict. I don’t get why your so quick to write off one of our own young lads

I do think he has had chances though and I agree he hasn't had the starts but he doesn't warrant them based on what he has done when he has come on.

I think he is getting rose tinted views from alot of people because of where he is from, I think when you compare him to Rico Lewis they are poles apart from what they have delivered with the opportunities they have been given.

I imagine Rico will most certainly be a part of the team for years to come but I would send Cole on loan to someone like Dortmund to see if he has what it takes without risking our own games which is how I feel when he is playing. I will happily hold my hands up and say I am wrong if he does prove me wrong, I just don't see it.
