    Palmer is hellova player, genuinely world class at a young age. Madrid will come in for him.

    Crazy that City let him go really. I know they have a stack of talent, but he’s up there with the best of them

    He wanted to go, they respected his wishes.

    It’s mental that they can let talent like that go.

    Good for him though.

    They respected it because they didn't think he was good enough. He'd play ahead of KDB or Silva right now.

    He was a young player that had to wait his time, he didn't want to wait, it's the way it rolls sometimes. He chose Chelsea instead and plays every game, good on him, if he stayed at City he would have won trophies, he'll just have longer to wait, not seeing the big deal over it personally unless we are going to get precious about every young player that might have to occupy the bench space, I'm sure Liverpool have had their few in the past.

    It's not a big deal and a rare mistake from Pep.

    Think Poch did a lot of good for Palmer, he seems to do well with younger talent.

    Pep couldn’t have kept him though, he wanted to leave as he wasn’t going to get regular football at City. City got £40million for an academy prospect, he got the regular football and Chelsea got a hell of a player. City didn’t miss him last season when they won the league. His rise has been unexpected to say the least but he wouldn’t be the player he is now if he had been forced to stay at City.

    Well if they have kept him and played him he would.
