And all this after the media bigged him up for leaving and being such a superstar.
I seems we dodged a huge bullet.
There were plenty here moaning at Pep for 'letting the kid leave'.
There was plenty that thought we’d got a brilliant deal selling Palmer. Funny how things turn out.
We did! He's been crap lately! But they took a big gamble, it paid off. Some you win.....
Bit like crying about Sancho and crying about Palmer, some you win, some you lose
Jury's out on Palmer a little bit. Great first season. This season, not so much.
When we sold him, under the circumstances it was a great deal. Same as the Sancho one. Who was/still is, a bad apple. His attitude is not one that will elevate him to the levels his talent would suggest and both the rags and Chelsea have found this out the hard way
