“Scoring 3000 goals and signs a 42-year contract” – Gary Neville on Cole Palmer | OneFootball

Gary Neville has gone on an entertaining ‘rant’ about Cole Palmer this week. Well, it’s not really a rant, but perhaps a bit of a bitter review of Palmer so far.

Everyone is impressed with Palmer this season, many people have ran out of words to use to praise him. He has been insane. Not only has he become a Chelsea talisman, he has also become a world beater and is only getting even better as well. His rise to the top has just been incredible.

EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea now watching NEW Premier League striker name THIS season!!

Gary Neville of course, it also impressed.

Neville says Palmer is a Manchester United fan

Speaking on his recent Overlap show, Neville says:

“I mean, seriously. He [Cole Palmer] plays for Manchester City as a kid, he supports Manchester United, then he goes to Chelsea and starts scoring 3000 goals and signs a 42-year contract so we can’t even get him back!

“Palmer has an unbelievable understanding of the game, unbelievable technical ability and the composure in front of goal. When you put those three together, that’s really, really special. And you cannot believe right now, sat here how Man City have got that one so wrong.

“I never thought for one season we were going to get someone who would become a game changer, a match winner regularly for his team and his composure and the quality of his finishing is — I don’t want to say Messi-like the way he passes it into the net, but it’s is that ilk in the way in which he finishes.”
