I actually agree with something that Pep said a week or two back, that if City behaved like Chelsea, they’d be slaughtered in the media for trashing FFP and throwing their cash around to the detriment of the game. I know it’s unfashionable to stand up for City but they are far more restrained...
I would have gone all out to get him weeks ago, when these stories started. Both Lewis and Palmer were excellent when they appeared at the Amex. I hope the Chelsea story is wrong. He’ll get nothing like the game time we would give him, and I hope Pep would see that he would develop better under...
Seems obvious but if he is amazing, the benefit to us is… the use of an amazing player for a whole season. Who knows, he could make the difference between winning a cup or, gulp, getting to the CL (unlikely though that is).
Palmer played superbly at the Amex recently. Both Lewis and Palmer were excellent. I doubt there's any chance of him coming but I'd take him in a heartbeat.
