Gordon as well.There’s English talent like Foden, Saka, Palmer and Bellingham and we end up with Rashford and Sancho
Cole Palmer | Chelsea Player
- Thread starter tentan
- Start date
Also Maddison.
I would agree with you. However, England are liable to suffer some injuries, so Palmer might play by default.
Presume that if Kane and Palmer are both on the field if England was awarded a penalty, Kane would still take it.
Destined to score the winner against City.
Not being rude but I can't imagine he'd go to Man United at the moment if he left Chelsea. Back to City would be my guess if he is going anywhere.
He's alright. Way too good for Chelsea though.
Chelsea would never let him go without a fight. One more year of mediocrity though, then we'll see.
He's a United fan, also there's a small chance
I dunno why but I just don’t rate him. He’s good don’t get me wrong but I think it’s a classic case of an English player being overhyped
No way he'd go back to City while Pep is there I feel. Peps been throwing a few subtle digs about him wanting to leave for 2 years etc...
I mean, to go from one batshit clownshow of a club to one that is only slightly less so is an ask in my humble opinion.
5 FRPs and 2 swaps plus Højlund and Garnacho.
World Class. POTY. Love watching him.
We could have bought Kudus and been having a great convo over which of our signings were player of the year with the resident Chelsea fans
But alas…
But alas…
You’d be saying the same with any of them if the poor souks ended up here.There’s English talent like Foden, Saka, Palmer and Bellingham and we end up with Rashford and Sancho
Yeah he isn't that daft
He's one of those unusual players it's hard to say what his actual strength is. Not like Muller in style, but like him in that description.
But you can't knock 20 goals in a team as sh!te as this one.
I got it. He's a left footed Bruno Fernandes, but with dribbling
No wonder this place is so thirsty for him

Nothing alike.
Strikes me as another exciting player Southgate won't know how to fit into the England side.
Eh. Twas a joke, but they are similar. Then again, most attacking playmakers of their type tend to be, so...
Yeah absolutely nailed it
I mean, how? Should england just play an all forward lineup?
This one didn’t age well, but we’ve all made some shocking calls
Tbh he seems the best bet for sub appearances at the tournament especially if there's a prospect of a shootout
This aged well.
There are certain similarities I think. They are both excellent penalty takers, take plenty of shots from outside the box and get plenty of assists despite losing the ball frequently due to risky passes in the final third.
They are risk takers and these days in football that's actually quite rare. They'd kids in the playground who would always be looking for the most ridiculous or most eye catching goal.
The big differences are that Bruno seems to have more stamina and covers more of the pitch and Palmer is a much better dribbler.
More because he's an attacker who thrives when given the freedom to take up pockets of space and float. Southgate is pretty static in the way he demands players to stick to their positions.
I got this one badly wrong. He's exceeded all expectations this season. Obviously his goalscoring might drop off, which won't be a big surprise, but he's playing a such a high level in every other department.
It'll be interesting to see if he can follow this season up with consistency.
True but we’re still one of the biggest clubs in the world and an opportunity to play for us doesn’t come around to often. And also like it’s been mentioned before he’s a united fan so I’d imagine if we want him he’d choose us over other teams.
Pep’s interview about him asking to leave is so strange. Trying to make out he couldn’t do anything to stop him; maybe play him rather than spending £60 million on Doku, who is absolutely terrible.
I guess city fans can’t really get annoyed at Pep but at this point, surely it’s bugging them that Foden is the only one from all of their academy players getting proper minutes.

It sums up the last decade for us. We've also spent big on fantastic English talent like Maguire and Awb.There’s English talent like Foden, Saka, Palmer and Bellingham and we end up with Rashford and Sancho
We actually had a world class one before he decided to <you know>There’s English talent like Foden, Saka, Palmer and Bellingham and we end up with Rashford and Sancho
Nothing about aging. It was about your statement that palmer was rated higher than Foden in the academy which I don't think is right. What does that have to do with anything now?
Chelsea sold mount on the final year of his contract to us and signed the star of their team for the next decade maybe for half the price… That’s great business at our expense.
He'll move to a bigger club. He's way too good for Chelsea.
Doku is alright, Kovacic and Nunez though... I know different type but still think Palmer could play similar to Gundogan...
Maybe in possession but out of possession? Palmer is not a midfielder
Nunes is the most disappointing for me. Doku is still young and one for the future, and is working fine as an off the bench speed change, and Kovacic was always going to be a decent backup nothing more. Nunes is the one who was supposed to be an instant starter
Much like they sold Mount to us? Or the way we sold Ronaldo to Madrid?
