I hope that this year changes that.

As fans we get so hung up on keeping academy players that it blinkers our view.Pep sees him in training every day. I'll happily rely on Pep's opinion on whether Cole's ready to step up or not.
Whatever Pep thinks, judging by his game time, I'm inclined to agree with baldy.
Look at the difference in effort Pep showed in trying to keep Dog, Mahrez, Bernie & Walker here?
With Palmer he said Cole's concerned about playing time, so we're talking to his management, & we don't know if he'll be here or not next season. Make of that what you will...
Pep would have him in the team like Rico. Palmer is a good player but as you say pep has already said he can go or stay. So no real determination to keep the player.
We can’t keep them all. Sell for £30m now and if we have made a mistake we will soon find out. Pep wouldn’t be after Doku if he wanted palmer imo.
I hope that this year sees a change, but it is up to Cole to prove it. He had a number of injuries last year and you can't really prove yourself with such limited starts.Pep sees him in training every day. I'll happily rely on Pep's opinion on whether Cole's ready to step up or not.

No. It was established early in the exchange that these are YOUR claims.It was well established early in the messages that Palmer barely played last season. And specifically when he played he barely played RW because he had Mahrez and Bernie ahead of him.
Over to you fella... \0/

So with also seeing him in training too, Pep got Palmer's playing time all wrong then?Palmer made 7 starts, 2 in the PL.
Palmer playing little is my claim?No. It was established early in the exchange that these are YOUR claims.

This is just a fact.
Having 2 senior well established players ahead of him on RW is also a fact, Bernie even benched Mahrez at the end.
Anyways, its clear to me now you lack basic reasoning skills. So have a good day.
Not necessarily, but this season represents a different opportunity, especially now. The facts do say that he didn't really get a good chance last season. The reasons are only really known to Pep and Cole.So with also seeing him in training too, Pep got Palmer's playing time all wrong then?

There's an obvious reason why this was the case in a treble winning season, where earlier on we were struggling for bodies & consistent form.Palmer playing little is my claim?
The opportunities were there. Pep evidently didn't think he deserved more chances than he got, & thinking about my disappointment with Cole's performances when afforded the opportunity, I'm with Pep on this one.

How so if he's shown little improvement since last season? Has the PL got easier over the summer?Not necessarily, but this season represents a different opportunity, especially now.
We've the same pressure to perform & need the finished article, not to be carrying apprentices learning on the job, like we're a YTS scheme...

Well, Palmer has a huge opportunity to claim his worth for starting spot now that Mahrez is gone and Silva probably shifting to the middle after KdB's injury situation. No better time than this for him imo.
