Cole Palmer 21:50 - Dec 31 with 2673 views | Wickets | He's some player , wonder why Pep decided to let him go ? Seems like a huge mistake. |  | | |  |
Cole Palmer on 21:53 - Dec 31 with 2630 views | FrimleyBlue | Didn't he have a host of options so didn't see a place for him. Grealish. Foden. Doku etc |  |

Cole Palmer on 22:13 - Dec 31 with 2532 views | davblue | i thought he looked like a Madrid, Barcelona player. The quality but also the swagger he had. Not over confident or arrogant but real belief in his ability |  | |  |
Cole Palmer on 22:13 - Dec 31 with 2527 views | skinnybob72 | The big clubs have so many players that they simply can't keep / play all of them so some will be allowed to leave, Chelsea themselves allowed Mo Salah to leave. |  | |  |

Cole Palmer on 22:30 - Dec 31 with 2406 views | Marshalls_Mullet | To be fair, when he signed for Cheksea fit £50m, I didn't see many people saying it was a bargain. Pep has an ethos of not forcing anyone to stay who wants to leave. Palmer wanted more game time. |  |

Cole Palmer on 22:31 - Dec 31 with 2393 views | Oldsmoker | Citeh sold him for initial 40m with add-ons. Seems Citeh knew his value and didn't let him go cheap. Maresca must have worked with him at Citeh just as he did with Delap. Maresca seems to be a manager that adds value to youngsters. When Chelsea sack Maresca to employ KM maybe we should take him. |  |

Cole Palmer on 01:11 - Jan 1 with 1860 views | Wickets | Yes note all these comments and they are what has been previously suggested in the media but surely it's the job of a top top manager to keep the very best players happy and at their club it seems to me Pep let Cole go far too easily he is and was worth working a lot harder to keep IMO . |  | |  |

It was about FFP and finance. The full fee goes against their balance sheet as he was a youth player. |  | |  |
Cole Palmer on 02:02 - Jan 1 with 1752 views | Mercian | His improvement last season was massive, so much so that Anthony Gordon's vast improvement went under the radar. I remember thinking that the £40 million that Chelsea paid for him was vastly over-priced and it was Boely with his limited knowledge of "Soccerball" throwing his money around again. I was wrong on that one and Todd proved the stopped clock proverb. |  | |  |

Yes City are really worried regarding FFP . If they wanted to keep him they would have done think they just got it wrong. I was amazed that they sold him at the time and still am . |  | |  |
Cole Palmer on 09:02 - Jan 1 with 1265 views | bsw72 | Palmer wanted first team football and City could cash in on selling a home grown player which has a huge benefit for the financial sustainability rules. |  | |  |

One of the things that concerns me at the moment is we’ve really no one coming through that would allow us to do the same. The quicker we can get CAT1 the better. |  |
