Cole Palmer

[PragueBlue]

Him staying makes perfect sense for depth imo considering we play with 2 wingers, 2 attacking midfielders, 2 controlling midfielders.

The team perfectly will have 3 options for 2 spots, with extra cover from versatile players.

3 wingers: Grealish, Doku, Palmer

3 attacking mids: Foden, Bernie, Alvarez

3 control mids: Rodri, Kova, Nunes

9 players for 6 spots.

With Bobb, McAtee and Lewis for cover to make it 12 in 6 spots.

This is perfect depth in that the 9 will play ALOT and the other 3 can handle sub minutes, injury cover etc.

I would say there are only really 5 spots as one of your 6 is pretty much always taken by a defender stepping into midfield (eg Stones and recently Akanji). We normally play with 4 defenders, so that leaves only 6 outfield places, one of which is usually taken by Haaland. In reality we would have 9 players for 5 spots if we sign Nunes. 11 if you include Bobb and McAtee (I see Lewis more as a defender stepping into midfield) and 12 when KDB is back. It's not going to really give much opportunity at all for the younger players.

I also think Bernardo will play more as a winger from the left or in CM for more control.

Now here's a brain teaser. How do we somehow dovetail Cole Palmer and the possibility of him being transferred into this highly specific and technical discussion about superscripting numbers?
I'm always respectful of the thread subject. Except when I decide to derail it…

And for your information, my friend, I Googled it hours ago, and read exactly what you have copied.
And that works just fine and dandy on any Word document on my own computer. And it does not work at all, on here.
So now I hear you say, perhaps, well then just cut and paste from said document. Did that. About five times. When I paste it on to here, the small superscripted 2 is corrected back to a normal two, as in 52, for 5 squared.

Let's try to stick to the subject of the thread, please. There's a separate technical forum for all things, er, technical.

I hope we can keep Cole, I sincerely think he is capable of great things. Maybe a loan to another club to give him game time, but it seemed Pep wanted him to stay or sell.

I also really hope we keep Cole. I believe he’s only going to get better. He’s got a goal on him, and has been schooled in our academy so knows our ways.

Kalvin does not like this post ;-)

Not played a minute in either game since the Super Cup, I wonder if he’ll be pushing for a move now for regular football

I hope if he’s going permanently that we try and use him to go to palace and still push for a deal for Eze this week

Marhez has gone, KDB is injured, the only reason Palmer is not getting minutes is work rate, it is down to him.
