Cole Palmer

[Salford_Blue]

He's a good player with massive potential,.and he's had an excellent season....

But....

I don't see who he replaces at City in midfield....Silva ? De Bruyne? Foden? Nope....

Maybe in time, but he wasn't prepared to wait sadly, although understandably... I remember all the criticism of Foden and Pep for his lack of game time initially...and look how shit that turned out .

He wanted first team premier league football this season, and he is good enough.


But not good enough for City ....yet

Correct.

He would not have got regular minutes for City in the position he plays in for Chelsea.

Wouldn't displace any of those you mention, so correct decision for him and the club to move on.

It's been a fantastic move for the lad. There was no way he'd have got the game time with us that he's got at Chelsea.

I suspect that opens the main award for Phil.

Yet another notch in the belt for the Academy.

I’m sure coaches/DoFs of other Premier League clubs are taking note, and looking to our set-up for reinforcements for next season.

I'm sure there's been a couple of years when the same player received both awards.

The PL YPOTY has only been a thing since 2020. Trent won it in it's first year but then City have dominated it since then Foden winning it twice, Haaland last season and now City academy product Palmer this season :)

I think you're right, but I have a feeling this won't be one of them, partly because Cole has burst on to the scene rather than being a young player with a couple of top-notch seasons behind him. Just my opinion though, and hope, but both Cole and Phil have been excellent.

Palmer is a fantastic player and well deserved ypoty award, but I think Oscar Bobb is the better all round player, Bobb movement and passing in that fa cup game at Spurs was up there and that “quick feet” take it round the goalie finish at Newcastle was world class.
