Wonder what happened here, looked like Dortmund were gonna beat us to him and now he has gone to Sporting!
JazzG found his level. Always looked overrated on here to me.
Tiny fee too. Must have been a lot of agent hot air.
QuincyAbeyie I believe he chose Brighton 😁
QuincyAbeyie Rejected Spuds, signing for Brighton as he wants to play European football
Qwiss yeah I think the Arsenal Vision lot did some scouting on him and were very down about his prospects, seemed to think he was really raw.
It's funny though how simply being linked to a player affects how you look at them.
Envious of Chelse getting Cole Palmer - superb talent
Chelsea sign Palmer from City for £40m.
Kid’s barely played 5 mins and going for that much.
He would surely get more games at City with their European schedule etc
£40- £45, ridiculous whilst we sold Balogun for £34 and probably got nothing close to that in terms of interest for Smith-Rowe. City able to get Nunes in for similar fee. Annoying.
Have you seen Cole Palmer play though? Far more talented than both
lorddulaarsenal
ESR is the superior player and I believe had a better Euro under 21’s as well
lorddulaarsenal Only a sub appearance (CL?) last season and the community shield recently, and never registered anything of note from him. True, he does look talented in highlights.
KingslandBarge that’s what you’re paying for. His potential is higher. Better technique.
lorddulaarsenal you pay for potential but you also pay for proven capability. On that front, there's no question who is worth more.
Overall, we've probably undersold Balogun and Chelsea have overpaid for Palmer.
id have 100% taken gravenberch over havertz. he went for 40+5 (euros) too. damnit.
Sounds like they'll fill his spot in the squad with Palhinha. Good riddance; that guy is going to break someone's leg eventually.
Interesting Bayern were willing to get rid after just one season.
JazzG Tuchel doesn't like him apparently. Wants a 6, where as Naglesman was training him up for some hybrid role.
