It’s not stupid. If you actually watch the matches you’ll see his overall play is actually pretty poor and his attacking prowess just works to balance that out.
They’re tenth for a reason and, along with the issues coming from their other promising but flawed players, he is part of that reason.
It is amazing how blinkered blues can be when they are watching a former City academy player.
:) It's a little inconsistent of you to say Palmer is shining at the moment because he is playing in a mid-table team, and then also say he is part of the reason they are a mid-table team.
It's also a little weird to criticise City fans who appreciate an ex-academy player when there are just as many who wash their hands of him because he was a United fan growing up. It's all weird, but it's just two different sides of human nature.
But the weirdest thing of all is your obsession with the whole thing. We get it, you don't rate him particularly highly at the moment. It really isn't that important. Let it go, you don't have to convince everyone you are right all the time.
Palmer confirming his rag credentials.
Well he is class on the ball but gives the ball away so many times but win games and don't matter how shit Chelsea are the lad has a contract for 7 years so anyone thinks the scum will buy him in a year or two think again chelsea won't sell a player of his quality even if palmer asks to leave they ain't city letting players go when asked
His stats are a bit padded.
Chelsea have had an unfathomable amount of penalties this season and had they had a competent striker, Palmer likely wouldn't have taken any of the 8 he has scored.
Class footballer though, Chelsea got a gem, credit to our academy but we move on.
In my personal opinion I don't think his attitude is complimentary of a Pep Guardiola team, I think there is an arrogance in his game and celebrations that has a sense of entitlement involved.

Agent Cole imo. In 6 years he will refuse to sign a new contract to go to Trampy Jim's new Swampland. He and his old man always had this in mind and used our academy to further themselves professionally and financially. If he manages to maintain or improve current levels of course.Well he is class on the ball but gives the ball away so many times but win games and don't matter how shit Chelsea are the lad has a contract for 7 years so anyone thinks the scum will buy him in a year or two think again chelsea won't sell a player of his quality even if palmer asks to leave they ain't city letting players go when asked
There I've said it
I get the same vibe too. Even when he was playing for us, I felt there's this cockiness to him. Whether that's good for his long term future remains to be seen. This is no doubt going to sound like I'm bitter over an academy player's departure.In my personal opinion I don't think his attitude is complimentary of a Pep Guardiola team, I think there is an arrogance in his game and celebrations that has a sense of entitlement involved.
There are moments of him not putting in a defensive shift at Chelsea, which a coach like Poch might turn a blind eye to, but will definitely not fly with Pep. Ironically, he didn't seem to do that when playing for us.
At the end of the day, he got what he wanted, and he's done well for himself. So fair play to him, he's a good footballer.

Love seeing our academy products banging in hatricks against the rags.

Well he took them away from more senior players at Chelsea and seemingly has a knack for taking them. People always seem to suggest pens are easy but how many have City missed over the last 5 years? Even Haaland misses them! There is a certain skill involved when putting away a penalty, and Palmer appears to have it.
