Cole Palmer

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Giving promising youth academy players to big rivals, wtf are we doing?

Just missing out Southampton as the middle man, whilst getting a sizeable wedge in.

I played against him the other week he’s shit.

i bet he' about 50 now tbf

Genuine q, what about chelseas transfer strategy this summer suggests they have a cohesive plan

I didn't say they have a cohesive plan. I said Palmer will get more game time at Chelsea.

We lost Cole, but Gomez and Phillips are still at City and would've probably played less minutes then Palmer if he stayed. Money must have been to good to turn down. Time for McAtee and Bobb to step up.

He will be getting a 7 year contract

I’m gutted about this. Similarly to Lavia I would rather the club be investing time in our youth products than signing the likes of Kalvin Phillips.

It is my one and only slight criticism of Pep, and I repeat it is only slight, that I expected him to promote more youth players than he has done. Similarly to his Barca days.

Not all bad though we won a treble last season!!!

It’s a difficult situation for Pep. We would not have won the treble with Palmer and lavia. Only the very best(foden) will play.

If we want to keep all the academy players we have to be honest about where we want to be as a club. Winning trophies every year or spurs?

So if we go down the keep the youth what happens when we don’t win?

I think we can all agree Palmer is a talented player but he doesn’t want to wait anymore for games. Mahrez left so we all assumed he would be used more but seemingly not. If a player wants out city will not stand in their way. Unless you are Bernie that is.

Competition is fierce. Maybe the younger players need to be more patient. I do agree in hindsight about Phillips but I still hope he can turn it around. The academy is so good, plenty more debates will be had. The talent churn is only getting started.

A mixture of world class talent for abroad and home grown world talent would be the dream.

Just got to hope Doku does the business on the pitch. It’s been a strange window with loads of outgoings and we are not used to that, at least the Croatians are Golden. Love them both already.

45 mill is a shit hot price but Chelsea are fucking up the market with these fees probably knowing they will be banned for a season so don’t give a fuck

 

[Sk@mcfc]

You dirty bastard. I’d slap you if you did that to me

We generally do pull out

 

[BeerIsTheBest]

May be heresy to some and sorry if already said but I think Bobb is a better prospect than Cole - more adaptable and certainly more dynamic. The money for Cole is ludicrous in my view and simply too good to turn down. If he were not a Manchester lad we would all be lauding this deal like we did with the Torres transfer. Sorry if I upset a few.

Then the players want to leave as they're no longer at a successful club!
