Literally every single time I watched palmer I thought "This boy is going to be elite", I cannot say the same about Saka. Saka is a great talent, But I rate palmer, nothing against saka. I think the comparison is silly, since they've grown up in different systems and as a result allotted different amounts of playtime.
I saw palmer against PL opposition inside a team of superstars and he was nearly always the best player on the pitch. I wanna see more from him to further judge, but for now I do think he's one of the biggest english talents out there.
Can you explain based on this:
1. His lack of appearances for City
2. Why Gordon is ahead of him at international level
In fact Gordon is a good example. He and Palmer are around the same level, with the obvious caveat that people develop differently to be acknowledged.
Do you think if Gordon was in our youth system then you'd believe the same about him?
