Shits gonna hit the fan when Pep gets out of hospital and finds out we've gone and given away one of our top talents whilst he was under sedation.

Whatever peps on ur on double strength

Think he's gonna be a great player but can't argue with the price

Don’t blame him for leaving he needs match time Got unlucky with his groin injury, season before last, just as he was establishing himself then last season was a right off. The WC and the win gave him a chance to get back and put himself in the spotlight and he gave the club a play me or sell me ultimatum. With the new signings it was at best a static squad position, time to go. What I find strange is his decision to go to Chelsea hope he does well a Manc and we always wish how own the best

Is that not what he’ll do at Chelsea?

I doubt they're prepared to pay 45 million for a bench warmer. Then again looking at us and Kalvin Phillips...it's a maybe.

It's superb business for us.

I've never once thought he looks anywhere near a £45m player and if he was called "Col Palmerais" from South America, we'd be over the moon that someone was paying us a fortune for a bit part player.

If he comes good at Chelsea then fair play to them - we can't keep everyone.

Personally, I think it's a terrible move for him. He's not good enough to get into their first XI and is likely to spend a lot of time on the bench.

Sorry to see him go, but not as much as Tommy Doyle (if those reports are true), both because I think Doyle has the potential to be a very good player (in a position we are light in) and because of his close ties to the club.

And I think that says it all about how I feel about Cole. Good player (that could still be great) but not someone I am devastated to see go.

I actually thought, of all our young academy players, Oscar Bibb impressed most in preseason, so I am hoping we get to see more of him on the right side this season.

I wish Palmer well as he works to build a career, though I question whether a move to Chelsea is right for that endeavour. Financially it makes perfect sense, and very few of us would turn down a similar role to the one we have now for many multiples higher wages, so I cannot blame him there.

I find it interesting that a number of posters are saying that although he may spend a good deal of time on the bench, he is doing the right thing financially. This is exactly what some of our fans are criticising Kalvin Phillips for doing.
