Happy Blue 1,901 Posted August 30, 2023 Author Share Posted August 30, 2023 Chelsea have reportedly seen a surprise £35m ($44m) bid rejected for Manchester City forward Cole Palmer ahead of Friday's transfer deadline. Harry Sherlock 30 Aug 2023 14.03 Chelsea eyeing Palmer Have already bought in 10 new players Bid rejected WHAT HAPPENED? According to Jacob Steinberg of The Guardian, Chelsea have seen a £35m bid for Palmer rejected by City as Mauricio Pochettino looks to finalise his squad before the summer window slams shut. The club have already signed 10 players this summer, including Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson for their forward line, but manager Mauricio Pochettino wants to add another attacker. THE BIGGER PICTURE: Palmer is still only 21, and while he has made 41 senior appearances for treble winners City to date, just 13 of them have been starts. He has also only managed to score six goals and is currently behind Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez in the squad pecking order, but it appears that the club are reticent to do business. There has already been plenty of outgoings at the Etihad Stadium this summer, with the likes of Riyad Mahrez, Mateo Kovacic, and Aymeric Laporte all leaving.

Reluctant Striker 134 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Really a sign of all the insanity in Premier League football right now. Chelsea do not seem to need yet another player of this type. And I can't help but feel if it's a Spanish, Brazilian or French youngster that knocks in the Community Shield goal, he gets chances at Man City.

Happy Blue 1,901 Posted August 30, 2023 Author Share Posted August 30, 2023 Probably the worse club Palmer could of gone to for his development, very toxic club right now and he won't get any playing time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6666 1,310 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) How this all turns out for Chelsea will be interesting to see. They can say it's amortisation so they won't get in trouble now but putting £150m-£200m in the spent column for the next 3 or 4 seasons already is wild.

With the new stoppage time rules, new champions league format, and more international games all congested together, think the only way around these schedules now is to have a huge squad. I'm more concerned that the likes of Palmer, Mudryk, and Madueke hardly have any senior goals/starts to begin with and we are asking Poch to develop these lot to the standard that Sterling is now setting, with club targets to meet. It's asking a lot but out of everyone that was available he is the best choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Blue 1,901 Posted August 31, 2023 Author Share Posted August 31, 2023 Apparently Palmer is not a good trainer and a bit of a chav off field hence why Pep is happy to let him leave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
