That backs up exactly what Pep was saying at the time. I remember him being asked after one of the games about Palmer’s situation and he said that Palmer had asked to leave on loan and Pep told him that he’ll get opportunities here this season because Mahrez is gone. He specifically said that he either leaves permanently or stays, he won’t be going on loan (even thought Brighton were sniffing for a loan at the time).

Would love to understand the logic of it from City’s point of view, as we let McAtee leave on loan but not Palmer.

I don't believe him. He demanded guaranteed playing time. And that guarantee was not forthcoming. Then he heard Doku was on route as well Bobb coming up the pecking order. So he asked to go.
I am fine with it. We can't keep them all and the fee was good.

I concur

And I also think McAtees loan is primarily to put him in the shop window

Sancho has still scored more PL goals at the swamp this season than Gashford, Antony and Hoijland

A quite remarkable stat for all the wrong reasons
