Cole Palmer to Chelsea for 47m. In terms of age, quality, potential must be the best buy of the season. Pep, whatever he may say, got that one wrong. Imagine how he feels everytime he looks at his bench and sees Grealish. And we moan about Antony!
Cole Palmer | Chelsea Player
- Thread starter tentan
- Start date
Might find it hard to listen to instructions though
They don't play in the same positions and they offer different things to the team.
With Haaland up top, Grealish doesn't need to be a risk-taker and his ball retention is one of the best out there. He has a way more passive role than the one he had at Villa.
Palmer is a really good passer and right now, he's being used as the main creative outlet at Chelsea. I think he's really good, but his future lies in the middle rather than the right wing.
If you switch the two players and their roles, Grealish would look the much better player.
I hope this is based on form, and not ability.
Where in god's name is Charlie McNeil
Even worse when he doesn't see Grealish (because he's been hurt) and instead just sees the likes of Bobb, Doku, and Nunes.
Take away one huge match against Bournemouth and Doku has 1 goal and 1 assist total in league play. That's the guy Pep effectively swapped in for Palmer.
Bit loud in the team bus, but his voice comes theough on the pitch
Yall wrongly assume he cares. Pep never misses unhappy players.....
I'd take him or Gordon to the Euros as the 3rd striker. Right now he is ahead of Gordon
Palmer wanted and needed first team football, Pep and City couldn't offer that. Palmer is doing great in Chelsea and Chelsea will eventually turn around with so many talents in the squad.
No, Doku is the guy he swapped in for Mahrez. Palmer competes with Foden, Alvarez, Bernardo and De Bruyne
Personally, I have no worries about Chelsea succeeding eventually. My doubt's are strictly on Poche being the man to harness it. For all the crap talked about the Boehly's. Their recruitment has been strategic and long term. Im in a minority who has rated it highly. The only thing left is bagging a top draw senior cf.
Fair point. Though I would say talent wise there isn't much to separate Olise and him. But Palmer seems fairly injury free so far, so he is making more out of his tools. Also, as shite as Chelsea are, they're still a better team than Palace so it's not exactly a fair comparison.
He looks like a United player and apparently is a United fan as well. No reason he couldn’t get his dream move to us in the not too distant future.
Harsh, he's been excellent this season.
Half his goals are from penalties. Reminds me of Bruno's debut season.
Form.
Can any of them play LW? If not, then you can totally understand why Southgate is likely to take 2 of the bottom 3 you've listed ahead of Bowen and/or Palmer.
Manchester lad, United fan…
what’s his contract like at Chelsea? Got a feeling he’ll play for us one day.

£80k a week for 7 years.
Chelsea getting relegated and needing to flog everyone is your best chance of getting him.
Not impossible but on the list of players we'd want to sell, he'll be near to the bottom.
That's cute, but I doubt it'll be in your hands if you stay allergic to Europe in the next few years.
Didn't you think the same about Mount as well ?
For his playing style, if he decide to leave one day, it will be probably back to City, then Arsenal or Liverpool if Xabi Alonso is the next manager.
No. I didn't think we'd sell him but for very different reasons.
Penalty King Cole.
There is no way he is on low wages. This is entering Liverpool zone now.
I know you're making a serious point but I will never get tired of laughing at the ridiculousness of this when I read it out of context in my head. Your post is almost too on the nose
. So succinct and without irony.Anyways, I wonder what new noodle sponsor we will get with INEOS.
Cole Paler is such a baller. Chelsea made a sage move by purchasing him from Man City last summer. According to the Sports Stats platform, he has 11 goals and seven assists in the Premier League, which is very impressive. I hope he will continue to progress. I have high hopes for this lad.

I think you're right but Gordon has the attributes and is the type of player Southgate would pick.
He's not on low wages. He's on 80 grand a week as a 21 year old.
Even if he's currently on 80k a week (seems likely considering his profile before coming to Chelsea), there's no way it's a fixed salary for 7 years (which you're clever enough to know).
When players half his talent are earning way more than that, no way he is on 80k per week and he isn't dumb enough to sign 80K for 7 years.
Like I said, Liverpool territory. Everyone will be earning packet of crisps but when the actual wage bill is published, it's so high. Doesn't add up.
All i did was Google "Cole Palmer wages" and post the result.
Ok, chatbot.
He has been a lot better than I expected.
it will be interesting to see what the club and player do if a big club comes in for him this summer.
He's far too good to be in a mid table team.

Doubt Chelsea would sell.
If a ridiculously big bid came in I think they probably would.
We bought him for 42 mil I think. Triple that and the suits at Clearlake would struggle to say no.
Yea but that's not happening.
Thank the gods.
