Cole Palmer

[Gremlin]

I like Cole (who doesn't like a local lad making it at his boyhood club) and would prefer him to stay but would understand if he felt he had more opportunities elsewhere. Hopefully he sees that he would develop by staying at least another year, at which point it will be clearer whether he has a long-term future with us or not.

I am a bit surprised by Cole wanting to go, though.

I could understand it if he was going to walk into that Chelsea team but they’re pretty bloated as well, plus Sterling is (at the moment) undroppable in the position Palmer will presumably be fighting for (I know he’s better centrally but his senior time has been on the wing).

Surely you’d rather fight for your place at City (your boyhood club?) under Pep and stability over the Chelsea circus.

How can he be fifth choice when there are only 4 wingers at the club??

Because the other 4 are ahead of him…?

He’s not starting ahead of Grealish, Doku, Foden or Bernardo on either side unless it’s the odd cup game.

I think he has a future at RCM with City if he stays. Just takes a while for Pep to trust youth in interior midfield positions, hence why all of Cole's cameos have been RW/LW.

RCM, RAM are his best positions.

Never is he a RCM, he’s pretty much a young Mahrez

50m for Palmer would be fantastic for City

 

[skillman]

Kinell. Any danger of Joe Shields finding some other talent rather than boomeranging back to us every window?!

 

[FMwkdsoul]

reason?

No. You will see down the road.

If you'd told us at the end of last season we'd be getting close to £50m for him we'd bite your hand off.

Good player but I can't ever see him nailing down a first team spot
