Fucking hell football is bonkers My sources are saying this is done for £45m to Chelsea, I’m a bit gutted but the fee is bonkers so what can you do if Cole wants to leave.

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Chelsea’s transfer strategy just seems crazy to me. Absolute ton of money spent on largely unproven young talents. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has Pep ever sold a young talent before that’s came back to bite him on the arse? (not literally.

The College Dropout Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I semi defended Chelsea’s transfer approach earlier in the summer. I thought it made a level of sense. It doesn’t. It’s bonkers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Pep said it’s upto Cole Palmer - he can stay and will get game time or he can leave, Pep wanted him to stay but at the end of the day it was the player’s decision. Im gutted because he was from my area Wythenshaw in Manchester, but £45m is crazy money to turn down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he thought really highly of him he’d have told them he’s not for sale at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 My guess based almost entirely on my own speculation is that he’s clearly a very good player but something about his attitude or his willingness to play in Pep’s style means that he either doesn’t value him as highly as his showings would suggest or that he’s trying to provoke a response from Palmer to see whether he’s got it in him to be a long-term player there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieDazzler Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 They’ve sold their best academy players because they bought a load of random foreign players on 10 year contracts and now buying a rivals academy player who can’t get in his own side for exactly the same reasons Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty66 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) Prices have gone mental but you have to remember the club receiving the money will be getting crazy quotes on anyone they want to buy. It's just a domino effect until one club banks the money. Going by those prices above Liverpool could sell Salah then have to spend nearly half of that on a relatively unproven player. You simply can't afford to buy any duds. Edited August 30, 2023 by Scotty66 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look Cole Palmer isn’t a regular starter, nobody is at City not even KDB, Pep already said to him - stay and you will get game time or leave for more game time, City don’t put pressure on the academy lads coming through, we play 60 plus games a season he’s hardly going to be on the bench over a season. I don’t know what you want me to say, obviously CP thinks he will get more game time at Chelsea so good luck to the lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just find Chelsea hilarious. As soon as anyone has a good week they are interested I was actually wondering if we might be in for both Palmer and Harwood-Bellis for the young right wing and right centre back options. I was wondering if we'd be able to get both for around £50 million! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
