I think that the straw that broke the camel’s back with both Palmer and McAtee was not Doku but the subsequent signing of Nunes. We all thought that he would play more in central midfield with Kovacic and Rodri, and that Foden and Bernardo would therefore have to be accommodated out on the wings, where Grealish and Doku would also be competing for game time. Add Phillips and Gomez on the bench ahead of them- at that point, de Bruyne to return,and I can understand them looking elsewhere.
In relation to Paqueta this summer,even If he comes, we may need to rethink the logjam on the bench and determine whether it is worthwhile keeping certain players.
