They had other good players. That's why. One who scored 50+ goals in a season. Another couple who have both been PL player of the year (one of them multiple times). Not to mention people like Silva and, at points, Gundogan, who are also beasts. I'm not sure what the confusion is about.

Still can't understand how City let him go. It's not like he wasn't playing well for them when he was there. It's has to go down as one the biggest blunders of all time.
After giving away Salah and De Bruyne for peanuts, Chelsea were owed one.

Gundogan left before Palmer left and it was known for months. City signed Doku when they had Palmer. They allowed Sterling, Mahrez and Gundogan to basically leave the club and Palmer was there.

Pretending that people finding the decision “confusing” is a red herring.
Selling him was a monumentally stupid decision that genuinely did not need to be made at that time with the players city had, the players that had left and those they subsequently bought. Just call it what it is.

Selling him was monumentally stupid because of how good he was. It made perfect sense from a personnel/role/skillset perspective - they really didn't need him - they missed the fact he was so good they should have built around him for the futureGundogan left before Palmer left and it was known for months.

Chelsea would probably be 13th looking like a bunch of clowns if they didn’t buy him.

It turned out the best Chelsea transfer since ages imo. We gotta do these kind of deals more often. Hopefully Chido Obi will have a similar impact though he'll take more time. Are there any good youngsters at Chelsea, City or PSG academy that we could get in for cheap?
His goal contribution rate is crazy. Like Salah and Haaland you have to ignore the underperformance at times just because of how good it is.
