Insane Ice cold in the Caribbean: Palmer's first trip to St Kitts https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/videos/c3r90wyj7z3o Chelsea and England star Cole Palmer visits the Caribbean island of St Kitts - where his paternal grandfather was born - for the first time. WATCH: Cole Palmer- Made in St Kitts on BBC iPlayer READ MORE: Cole Palmer given hero's reception on St Kitts visit https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cew0q4dd8rgo Cole Palmer was given a hero's welcome on Monday when he arrived in St Kitts for the first time, fresh from playing a starring role in Chelsea beating Paris St-Germain to win the Club World Cup in the United States. The Caribbean island is the birthplace of his grandfather, Sterry, and Palmer wears the flag of St Kitts and Nevis - alongside the England flag - on his football boots to honour his family's roots. Deputy prime minister Geoffrey Hanley and tourism minister Marsha T Henderson greeted the 23-year-old and his family at the airport alongside traditional Masquerade performers. Palmer said: "Landing in St Kitts off the back of winning the Club World Cup felt really special. It's where my grandad's love for football started. The island is beautiful and really chilled. I can't wait to explore the mountains, rainforest and sea - and to try out the food." Terrance Drew, St Kitts' prime minister, added: "Cole Palmer's visit to St Kitts and Nevis is a powerful reminder of the strength and pride of our diaspora. "His presence and mentorship will inspire the next generation to believe that global success is possible, no matter where you come from. We are proud to welcome him home and deeply grateful for his commitment to our young people and to the development of sports in our federation." Henderson said: "The Palmers already have a special connection to the island and that will only grow as they spend time exploring our lush rainforests, picturesque mountains and stunning waters, and savouring our rich culture and cuisine."

OhForAGreavsie 6,073 Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 (edited) After the low of Trump on Sunday, the high of Henderson a few days later. Talk about a rapid rise in the world. Onwards and upwards Cole. (I don't actually know anything about Henderson but it is surely big odds on that he is a better human being than Dopey?)

OhForAGreavsie 6,073 Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Does the World Cup prove that Cole plays better, and the team is better, when there are three authentic midfielders in the team with him? Does it suggest that our best line up currently would feature three midfielders with Cole, João Pedro and one other up top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he plays better with team mates that read the game as he does, and are willing to sacrifice personal glory for the good of the team -ie Madueke and Jackson have/had a tendency to be selfish, often at the expense of another lost opportunity LegenTerry, Fernando, Strike and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer to "Is this our best line up?", will always be, "It depends." 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluepower777 36 Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 If reports coming out of Spain are accurate. As reported by Fichajes, Chelsea have said "no" to an offer of more than €170 million for Palmer, from Manchester City. The Blues would only be willing to negotiate if the figure reaches over £250 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluepower777 36 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Even if it was true Chelsea are not going to sell their most valuable asset especially to a PL rival and I doubt as well whether any club will buy any player for 250m. We not that far in the future just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
