Got to be honest I'm amazed Cole Palmer has stayed there and not wanted out, they are holding him back. I think in hindsight it is my one disappointment with Pep. Yeah, yeah I went along with it at the time, but I'm not paid stupid money to make such decisions. I feel like Palmer is stuck in a bit of quandary at the moment, and at 23 he can't afford to be, he needs to move on - unless their gaffer can do some serious work with that Chelsea side.
Mate, I'm not the biggest fan of Maresca's tactics by any stretch ... but in two seasons as a manager he has won the Championship (pretty easily) with us and a European trophy and Champions League qualification with Chelsea - if he wins the Club World Cup (personally I think they'll get smashed) then, technically, that's 3 club trophies in his first 3 seasons as a manager ... if they lose that he's still got a shot at 3 in 3 ... that's pretty good going by any stretch and the acquiring of Pedro and Delap should bring more goals ... they could well kick on ...
