Surprised Chelsea have bought him as they have plenty of players who can play out wide. He must back himself, so fair play to him. Someone did say he could play false 9.....I severely doubt it. It's not his game.

I don't buy the 'it will bite us on the arse' type of comments. He'll likely have a nice topflight career but I don't see him being top quality. As for the poster who said he we will have the same regrets that Chelsea have with their sales of Salah and KDB.....seriously?!

I don't understand the comments along the lines of 'why do we bother with the academy'. Are they unaware of the rumoured transfer fee?

“ he must back himself” if he did he’d stay and fight for his place in the best team in England. Obviously not got the mentality of Foden or Lewis, he will just be another Sancho

Seemed absolutely sound when I came
across him.

A lot of people have said that, if he had a bad attitude he wouldn't be anywhere near the first team squad.

Never seen him play on the right ever. All left.

He’s played on the right for Spain u21 but fuck I hope he isn’t the Mahrez replacement in the squad

 

[Irlamblue]

Sad to see a lad from wythenshaw go .
But
We`ve got a conveyor belt of players.
He was decent but maybe his mentality was questionable?
45 MILLION.... wow

For me the key thing is to replace him. I think he's a talented player, but it's an enormous fee for someone with such little football.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Does anybody have any proof of this so called bad attitude?

It's something I've repeatedly seen in Reddit comment sections but never backed up by anything whatsoever.

Essentially swapping Doku for Palmer

lets hop the club have made the right choice

personally think we should chose our own developed talent over signings but the club get more right than wrong

£45m is a ridiculous price to be fair

Some suggest, tolmie included that there perhaps is time for another. I donno.

All the Palmer haters on the forum last season will be happy. As will the lad who sat behind me in Athens. Had to endure 60 minutes of him slagging the lad off until he scored.

I don't see how we benefit selling to a rival. Top talent. Only benefit is that we will dip into the market for another winger. If we don't, we've left ourselves very short.

I don’t believe any genuine blue has ever hated him which makes me question your anecdote of Athens.

Internet fuckknuckles on the other hand? Most of them hate themselves, never mind random footballers.

We have Doku so not completely weak with Palmer moving on. Don't necessarily need another signing.
