Cole Palmer

That's nice. I hope he does well. Not winning any trophies versus us well but beating the likes of Liverpool,united and arsenal well.

I liked what I saw in the little cameo on Saturday. He looked super composed in the heat of a chaotic battle. I'd actually start him in the Chukwuemeka/Nkunku role in the next game. We have nobody now who can perform that #10 role with those two injured. We have Enzo doing it now but I think he's way too high up for my liking, prefer him in the #8.

Chelsea have a run of 4 fixtures where they can experiment, but thereafter the opponents will be more demanding and Palmer’s inexperience in the middle could become a liability.

I actually don’t think we have a choice but to play Palmer in the #10. At least until other players return from injury. Or if Lavia is ready, then we could switch formation and have Palmer play LW alongside Jackson and Sterling. Poch has his work cut out gelling this team into a functioning unit.
 
What's the worst that can happen to the lad?

7 years of being paid £££££s. Probably enough to retire on.

May or may not succeed as a top-level footballer, but it compares favourably with working in an asbestos factory for minimum wage.
was that his second option? Better than joining the rags though I guess

Yes. Part of the problem is that you have plenty of good players but they may not necessarily be ideal for the system Pochettino favours nor the type of football he encourages. Could be a few teething problems and some churn of players yet.

I like Cole but big shout to play anything other than a winger. Don't think he's massively versatile, better gliding past people than working in tight spaces. Might be worth a go in an easier game.

I'm sure he has played in midfield and upfront for City before.

He is tall, quick and still to fill out physically.
 
I'd play him as a no 10. If it worked it'd be a huge bonus for Chelsea so why not.

Im genuinely sorry he's gone, technically he is very good, I hope he shines for you as he seems a decent lad - shame though letting a local lad slip away...
 
I reckon he is worth more than 10m.
Definitely, give Cole a good run (hard in this day and age) and I think he will be a very good player at top level..technically gifted - I'm sad he went tbh. Would have been great having 4 - 5 local lads in the squad and pushing for a place.Used to be a sense of pride that..now theres a lot who seem really dismissive re Palmer...we should have cut him loads of slack for being a local...amazing achievement getting in our squad
