He will now invent Catenaccio
Cole Palmer | Chelsea Player
- Thread starter tentan
- Start date
Pochettino is bringing Boehly's 4-4-3 formation to life.Lists a lineup with 12 players. You can’t even do that on fifa.
With a £10M difference, we can probably consider this pretty much done.
I laughed at top target
City have played a blinder here, doing well to get £45m for him.
Another 9 year contract attracting a player to their “project”.
Very skilful player capable of great moments but injuries and a bit of lack of self belief has held him back so far.
Would be sorry to see him go but Bernardo's contract extension and the signing of Doku have made it inevitable.

He has a surname for a first name. Do not want.
Kovacic plus £10M to get Cole Palmer 
Would definitely buy him at 45m. He is one of the youngster from City I always rate.
He's a legend in my books now
You hated John Terry didn't ya.
Two first names good, two last names bad.
Makes sense.
What about Frank Lampard (Anne Frank)?
Oh, and Ashley Cole
Genuinely don't understand what Pep and City are up to this summer with how much attacking depth they've lost and continue to lose.
He is one of the mandem. This is his life now. He’ll feel at home with Madueke, Nkunku, Chukwuemeka, Gusto, Sterling and Disasi.

How can a forward who never scored a PL goal be sold for £45m?
Of course it was quick, City must not believe their eyes with this one
£45m…
Insane fee
Palmer has talent sure, but seriously £50m? Madness from Chelsea.
What about Madueke and Sterling? Chelsea are ridiculous.
Palmer is what I thought Havertz would be when we signed him. Very tidy and silky on the ball, can beat a man, has an eye for a pass and can score. Havertz has shades of a great talent. 45m is a lot but the fact that we essentially got Palmer plus 20m for Havertz is a great business.
You lot signed a forward for £64 mil who has never scored a PL goal so zip it.
Nothing makes sense in football anymore.
Arsenal must have been asking for crazy money for Smith Rowe if they're willing to go up to 45m for this guy
I'm sorry but that is just mental. I know he's shown a lot of promise and is highly rated by City, but he's 21 and has never scored a senior league goal. It's a huge leap of faith from Chelsea.
It might end up a great one, but at the moment it's just crazy money.
I accept your apology.
Apparently Joe Shields worked for City recruiting team, went to Southampton and bought Lavia there and then moved to Chelsea and bought Lavia there. He also rates Palmer very highly, so this seem like a move from him, Pep said a few weeks ago they'd only sell Palmer and most likely if they got a good offer, so Chelsea gave them that.
I know wages plays a part but here we are struggling to shift full on internationals like McT, Maguire.
This one will look like a bargain in a few seasons.
You just know he wouldn't be sold at United, play bit part roles or go on silly loans.
Glad we could settle it so amicably.
Another one of a city’s promising academy players binned off.
Their academy is basically just a farm with zero interest in getting players into the first team.

He'll cover the 10 position as well. We have the highest injury count in Europe for 3 seasons running. Already lost Nkunku and Carney as the 10 options and Madueke is injury prone. We're using Chilwell at LW ffs. We can't go into a season relying on Sterling and Mudryk.
