Cole Palmer

Kind of puts a line through the argument that it's easier the lower down the table you are to score
......
It's easier to score when you're the penalty taker for a team that gets a penalty every three games. If he stayed at City, Haaland would be taking the penalties, so even if he performed identically, he'd be on 11 goals. Still a great performance for a youngster, but Foden has 14 and Foden was probably the main reason he wasn't getting the game time he wanted.

But let's be honest, this is the debate of the stats generation. The people who don't understand what Jack Grealish does. But let's ask a simple question. If you had the chance to bring Palmer back for one game only, the Real Madrid game, and play him ahead of Bernardo "six goals" Silva, would you do it?
 
Night follows day, he has a good game and people whinge about letting him go. We can't keep everyone, he wanted guarantees on playing, that's not how Pep works, so we let him go, got a good price and we move on.
 
The prematch chat on Saturday will be about the ways Palmer can hurt City and how it's a mistake to let your good players go to rivals. It will end with Uncle Kyle picking him up or slapping him on the back of the head.

The Premier League is really uncompetitive which City understand is bad for future TV rights. Obviously relying on United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham or Arsenal to get it together by themselves is never going to work. Khaldoon is playing 4d chess, training managers, leaking scout reports, giving away world class talent to mid table teams all in the effort of giving City a genuine competitor like those classic Liverpool and United years when they battled each other to League titles that left is all in awe.

There is only one young lad living the dream of playing for his boyhood team that should never be allowed to leave the club and Cole made the mistake of starting beef with him at the Under 21 euro's last summer
