Meanwhile, the likes of Porro, Douglas Luiz, Cole Palmer, Lavia, Couto were allegedly not good enough.I’m astonished that he is the best we’ve had in the academy the last few years, I’m sorry but I do not see a premier league footballer there.
Palmer didn't show any of his Chelsea form whilst at City. Especially not enough to get ahead of Mahrez when both were at the club.Meanwhile, the likes of Porro, Douglas Luiz, Cole Palmer, Lavia, Couto were allegedly not good enough.
Was thinking the same today. So many decent players were outsourced and we ended with Rico in the midfield.Meanwhile, the likes of Porro, Douglas Luiz, Cole Palmer, Lavia, Couto were allegedly not good enough.
Bit hard mate when you get 15 minutes at the end of dead rubber games are you aware that he won us 2 cups before we sold him or ?Palmer didn't show any of his Chelsea form,

Nothing against the lad, but he needs a few games away from the side. Clear his head. He's playing too many games. Doesn't have a position in the side to call his own..

Can’t fault his effort or desire, but does he have the quality? I’m not convinced.
Too small, knocked off the ball too easily, no speed.
He knows the system, so he can fit into the squad, but he’s a 5/10 or 6/10, at best on any given day.

ExactlyThe best we had in the academy is now playing for Chelsea

2 RBs not needed at the time and Luiz we couldn't legally play in the uk. Other two i tend to agree on ish.Meanwhile, the likes of Porro, Douglas Luiz, Cole Palmer, Lavia, Couto were allegedly not good enough.
Never got a proper chance. Meanwhile, Rico has the most (or second most) minutes out of any player for us this season.Palmer didn't show any of his Chelsea form whilst at City. Especially not enough to get ahead of Mahrez when both were at the club.
Was shafted by being played left wing.Palmer didn't show any of his Chelsea form whilst at City. Especially not enough to get ahead of Mahrez when both were at the club.
Still plenty of game time to give Pep a chance to assses the situation.Bit hard mate when you get 15 minutes at the end of dead rubber games are you aware that he won us 2 cups before we sold him or ?
Difference in circumstances with current seniors make it near enough impossible to take him out of the starting line up. Not suggesting Lewis would be starting ahead of the seniors if it is adifferent situation.Never got a proper chance. Meanwhile, Rico has the most (or second most) minutes out of any player for us this season.
Pep's judgementWas shafted by being played left wing.
Just re watch if you can the last dozen or so goals we've let in and I am shocked how slow and languid Rico is on a lot of them - he's a kid, fit and supposed to be full of running and effort. I criticise some of the older guys for losing pace but boy he looks like an old man at times when trying to run back. Beware - it's not pleasant viewing.
The wrong one.Pep's judgement
Not particularly when Chelsea threw money at him at the same time. Mahrez did help us win the Champions League that season.The wrong one.

having watch him for several years at youth level he was head and shoulders above all the rest. he only had a dozen first team games and was very good in the CS and SC and scored in bothPalmer didn't show any of his Chelsea form whilst at City. Especially not enough to get ahead of Mahrez when both were at the club.
Once Mahrez left it was time for him to be given a run to confirm his ability. we chose Doku. what a mistake as Cole never wanted to leave, been with us years
