Poetic justice! (•‿•)Always liked Palmer and hoped he would go on to be a key member of our first team, he just never seemed to crack it when his chances came. A fee of £45 million is just too good for us to turn down, people forget about the impact of FFP rules, this is money that goes straight into our books and help with balancing the figures.
Just look over the road to the rags, they are all bleating that they are not strengthening the side more but the reality is they are now being hamstrung by the very rules they hoped would stop us.
You mean the game that we won?Bernardo was ineffective the last time out. The game could have used a more direct forward player than another whose instinct is still those of a midfielder.
Huh… whose decision was it then?Didnt seem like it was his decision in the end. 45mil is a lot of money.
Think I could coach the full backs for that game with the simple words, “just show them down the line”Bittersweet, hard to reject a deal of this magnitude and especially if the players willing to leave, but also disappointed that he’s leaving for Chelsea. I wish he stayed and fought for another year, but wasn’t meant to be. Wish him the best of luck. How odd is it that we could face a Chelsea team with Sterling and Palmer in their frontline haha
BobbWe also still have Gomez that also had a great u21 and has had similar minutes to Palmer. Maybe he sticks around.
Foden/Grealish/Doku/Bernado/Gomez
For that fee highly unlikelyHate to see him go, though it's decent fee. I wonder if they'll include a buy back clause.
