The same could be said of Modric and Bruno.Doesn't really look like he's good at football. Would not bang. 6/10.
Except it's 10/10 would bang in both cases.

And we got him for less than we sold Mount for.8 goals and 6 assists in 14 starts.
He’s doing well but half his goals are from pens aren’t they? Sneaky!8 goals and 6 assists in 14 starts.
Even if you took away all his pens, 4 goals and 6 assists in 14 starts is genuinely excellent.He’s doing well but half his goals are from pens aren’t they? Sneaky!
He has 17 games. No one has ever counted 'starts'.Even if you took away all his pens, 4 goals and 6 assists in 14 starts is genuinely excellent.
There’s at least 4 games he played less than 30 mins. People have counted starts for years. It makes sense to differentiate them from late sub appearances.He has 17 games. No one has ever counted 'starts'.
Exactly. I see Palmer's player profile as very similar to Havertz but he just seems much more comfortable in our team than Kai ever did.I don’t see him as that similar to Mahrez. Mahrez played wider and was a much better at using his dribbling to beat players one on one. I see Palmer as basically the player Kai Havertz was promised to be at Chelsea.
I do miss Mount to be fair.And we got him for less than we sold Mount for.
And it's not like his pens were when we were leading comfortably or already lost, all of them are extremely likely (next to dead certain in one of the cases) to have seen us come away with less points had he missed.Even if you took away all his pens, 4 goals and 6 assists in 14 starts is genuinely excellent.
That was good business. !!And we got him for less than we sold Mount for.
This. It's not like it's something new or novel, people have been doing it for as long as I can remember.There’s at least 4 games he played less than 30 mins. People have counted starts for years. It makes sense to differentiate them from late sub appearances.
Why?I do miss Mount to be fair.
Because he was good player for us and he’s a Cobham kid.Why?
Who’s doing that?Palmer has done well enough without the need to try and further inflate his achievements chaps. Sounds needy.
Who isn’t would be a better questionWho’s doing that?
I haven’t seen a single example of it. Can you give some examples?Who isn’t would be a better question![]()
Well firstly yourself with the stats. Failing to mention half the goals were pens and only counting starts, then another poster explaining that the pens were not just pens, but M&S pens with a cherry on top, and then another bringing up Mount as some kind of ‘gotcha’ to United (despite the fact Mount barely played this season).I haven’t seen a single example of it.

I don’t know man. You’re giving off ‘can’t handle Chelsea player being praised’ vibesWell firstly yourself with the stats.

Palmer has been a good signing so really no need for the above. Although I appreciate he’s probably the only one that has worked for you so far so there’s a bit more excitement attached.
Not really. Just adding some grounding to the debate. As I say the player has done well enough without what I just talked about.I don’t know man. You’re giving off ‘can’t handle Chelsea player being praised’ vibes
I always count starts, no matter who I’m talking about. Why would 20 min cameos count as the same as full game unless you want it to for your own reasons. Separating them is not inflating stats, it’s putting them in its proper context.
When Kane scores 30 goals, nobody sa ‘but hang on, 12 of them were pens’ as a caveat every time he is goals record was discussed.
Okay, sir. I’ll be sure to mention his penalties whenever Palmer is being discussed.Not really. Just adding some grounding to the debate. As I say the player has done well enough without what I just talked about.
When you score 30 goals sure but when you have 8 and you’re trying to manipulate stats to show off something better (when there’s no need to) that’s somewhat different.
Just feels insecure!
If I was a hater I wouldn’t be saying that he’s done well. Just seems insecure trying to make it better than it already is, or start throwing around Mount as some kind of yardstick.Okay, sir. I’ll be sure to mention his penalties whenever Palmer is being discussed.
Not gonna lie, the only thing that feels insecure here is your insistence to have the caveat inserted into every discussion. It’s cool though, I recognise hater vibes when I see it![]()
The fact that he’s scored penalties doesn’t detract from anything in any way, so yeah, by all means keep policing the discussion.If I was a hater I wouldn’t be saying that he’s done well.

As I say, no need to really. Enjoy!
Giving a take you don’t like isn’t policing the discussion. It’s a forum and all about different views and opinions. Not sure why you’re being so arsey over it tbh!The fact that he’s scored penalties doesn’t detract from anything in any way, so yeah, by all means keep policing the discussion.
I can’t speak for the poster who mentioned Mount. You saw my response to him.
But yeah, no worries. Have a good day, sir.
Because you said it was insecure of me to put his stats in their proper context. You don’t seem to be understanding how you being arsey for no reason drags the conversation into the gutter.Giving a take you don’t like isn’t policing the discussion.

I simply said 4 of the 8 goals are from the penalty spot. Of the other 4, 2 were from yesterday against Luton. Simply adding context!Because you said it was insecure of me to put his stats in their proper context.

But yeah fair enough, I was being a bit of a dickhead there, my bad.
Buy him back, you'd be doing us a favour.I do miss Mount to be fair.
Straight swap for Lukaku.Buy him back, you'd be doing us a favour.
How am I doing Boss?@TheReligion I am ordering you to stop putting exclamation points in all your posts.
I thought he downed tools last season, when he wasn’t injured. It didn’t bother me that he was sold.Buy him back, you'd be doing us a favour.
He also hasn't got a single goal contribution in the whole of 2023, we dont miss him.Because he was good player for us and he’s a Cobham kid.
I liked Mase, but I don’t miss him, and the way his father conducted himself after he left really left a bad taste. It has been over a year since Mount scored a goal for anyone.I do miss Mount to be fair.
