The only thing to learn is not get too attached to an academy player , at this level, most clubs going for leagues and trophies sell their academy talent for money unless they are truly special like Foden. It’s a very good business model we might hate it but it works

45 million for one of our academy lads.
Just seems weird. Good luck to him and I hope he gets the game time he craves and maybe an Engerland cap or two from that.

I suppose I wanted him to fight for the blue shirt until he made it his own. Anyway its not happened so let's see if the next one out of the academy can do it. Not a slight on Cole by the way. Maybe he didn't feel like he would get enough games here no matter how hard he tried. Or maybe he just felt he wasn't good enough to push City on. Good luck to him anyway. He'll set himself up for life with his contract at Chelsea. I hope he does really well as I'm sure everyone at City will hope so too.
Have to admit I’m not happy with this one. Always thought there was a real player in Palmer just waiting to kick on. I think he will do well at Chelsea - can see him starting game’s regularly before long. Good luck to him.

I'm disappointed he wanted to leave as i thought he'd have got better and seen more playing time this season.
He reportedly wanted to play more and so i'm surprised he's going to Chelsea as i just don't see him getting any more minutes there, than with us, so i'm wondering what his motivation is in leaving?
But all i care about is City and we got a great fee for him and if he doesn't want to play for us then good luck lad, but it's your loss!

Balancing the books ? I don't think so in a million years, 45/50 million for Palmer is too good to turn down, don't forget Pep see's him day in day out so if he wanted to keep him he stays.Looks like we are definitely on a books balancing mission, can only guess it’s related to the Champions League bonuses?

It’s a business folks , city’s academy is a factory a very well run one at that. We have a quality control where we keep some products and some where we sell on . It’s a simple as that. Might seem harsh but these lads will make more in the next five to ten years than most on here will make in a lifetime if not more. The next time we lift a pot all these kids will be forgotten about for most that’s the football industry. Harsh but very true.
