I still can't get my head around this making a mistake thing? Cole Palmer wanted to play...he was not going to get that here. He got it at Chelsea, so it obviously worked. People argue that he could have or would have? Doku played 33 games last season including sub appearances in a season where KDB and Haaland were out for sustained periods of time. That is nothing compared to what Cole Palmer played last season. Palmer was unwilling to do the Foden/Rico route so what can you do? He refused to go out on loan, so what are you going to do? How are you going to guarantee gametime? Are you going to knock out KDB, Silva, Haaland, Foden or Grealish?
