Palmer played a relative handful of games in his career with us. For him to go elsewhere, suddenly start playing regularly and producing the quality that he has in a truly average team is remarkable and should be applauded, and he is heralded as the “messiah” at Chelsea. I have no doubt that if Palmer had played the same of time that Foden has had at City he would have had a major influence. I’m not saying he’s quite at Foden’s level yet, but he has huge potential and that speaks volumes of our academy which should be proud to be producing such great players..
I must live in another dimension, Palmer is a talent and I wish we didn't sell him. However, in terms of natural football ability, he'll never match Foden, there are things you just can't teach. Bobb has better footballing ability than Palmer. Time will tell
Time will tell indeed. Bobb will be a star, no doubt about it.
