Goodbye Manchester City, 47 million, unfortunately lost 115 goals combination, De Bruyne will be succeeded by Chelsea

In the 32nd round of the Premier League that ended this morning, 21-year-old England player Cole Palmer completed the first senior four of his career, leading the team to a 6-0 victory over the old team Everton, helping Chelsea, who had been slumping at the beginning of the season, to approach the European places. And in the league scorer list, with 20 goals, he and Haaland are the first in the scorer list, adding a lot of suspense to the battle for the top scorer in the Premier League this season. It is worth mentioning that a year ago, he also played for Manchester City.

As early as the 20-21 season, the 17-year-old Palmer made his Premier League debut for Manchester City, and in the 21-22 season, Palmer scored 3 goals and 1 assist in only 11 appearances, becoming a star of hope comparable to Foden. In fact, just before leaving Manchester City, Palmer started 7 of 25 appearances in the 22-23 season, with 1 goal and 1 assist, which is also a rare achievement for a 20-year-old player, after all, his Manchester City is one of Europe's top giants, and the newly released 6 champions.

However, the world clearly underestimated Palmer's ambitions, and after accompanying Manchester City to the Grand Slam on the bench, he resolutely submitted a transfer application in the summer, and he could no longer bear to hide behind De Bruyne and B. Silva, he wanted to get more starters, more valuable tactical positions, and Chelsea, which is in a rebuild, has become Palmer's next foothold.

At least at the time, it looked like a win-win deal, with Manchester City getting €47 million, Palmer getting more commitments, and it seems that the only loser was Chelsea, after all, 47 million for a 20-year-old with less than 30 Premier League appearances is a bit risky.

But a year later, the winners were Chelsea and Palmer, while the losers were Manchester City. This youngster, who does not look good-looking, Chelsea has created 36 goals with 23 goals, 13 assists, and 38 appearances, proving that 47 million is nothing more than the price of cabbage. He was supposed to be the successor who was injured in Kevin De Bruyne and carried the banner of midfield for Manchester City.

However, this bad deal for Manchester City is the perfect deal for the other 19 teams in the Premier League. This season, Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has 31 goals and six assists in 38 appearances and has created 37 goals, winger Phil Foden has scored 22 goals and assisted 10 times in 45 appearances and created 32 goals, and if you add Palmer, who has created 38 goals, then City have a combination of 115 goals. They may not have a bit of experience, but they have the potential to match MSN, the BBC's top attacking partner.

Considering that Haaland is 24 years old, Foden is 23 years old, and Palmer is only 21 years old, it is undoubtedly a pity for fans that this imaginative attacking partnership has disintegrated ahead of schedule, and Manchester City has broken up the ace combination it once had just because of 47 million euros, which is even more suffocating.

It's also quite interesting to say, Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne used to be an academy graduate at Chelsea. At the beginning, he left the Premier League in the Bundesliga because of the lack of playing opportunities at the superstar-studded Chelsea, and finally achieved positive results in Wolfsburg, and was recruited by Manchester City to become the core player of Manchester City's rise. Now, Chelsea's poaching of Palmer from Manchester City can be regarded as making up for the regret of letting De Bruyne go.

This may be a causal cycle in the world of football!
