Suppose the question on most peoples minds will be, if we don’t get CL this season, will there be teams snooping around this summer?

I know he signed a new deal last summer but how long do we get away without playing in the CL before Cole starts looking around and going WTAF? 

Talk of some players considering this as it is so is there a chance one of these will be Cole?

Won't be a long.

Once players realize this is a rudderless project, they'll jump ship soon enough.

Wouldn't blame him in all honesty

Other than Palmer, Caicedo and maybe Cucurella, I don't see many others kicking up a fuss over CL football.

Says more about them as footballers than where they want to be.

Well, some players like Nkunku already seem to have lost their excitement 😕

Definitely. Maybe they'll give it another season if our summer window looks like it has potential and the team looks like it can improve and challenege next season but if not then off they go..

He simply lost interest and in the summer  Clownlake will  take 80 million from him and buy a some Brazilian especially after incoming another season in Liga de conference .

If Palmer goes, it will be for big money.

And in the eyes of Boehly & Eghbali, it will be seen as a massive success.

All that money will then be reinvested in a ton of youth projects, like you said.

• Enzo Maresca on Palmer missing the penalty: “Cole didn't feel well during the night. People need to understand the effort he made to be there. He is a top player. Everything is normal now”.

• Enzo Maresca: “Palmer didn’t train yesterday, then he woke up today and asked if he could be on the pitch to help this club play Champions League. It shows how this player wants to take this club back to where it belongs”.

Palmer had a scan on Monday to see how things were looking, and Simon Phillips has reported that while there were no problems on the scan, pain remains in the hamstring area, with another scan set for Wednesday.

He said on Substack: “SPTC sources can confirm that Palmer has now had the results of that scan and it has come back all clear. However, the pain in his hamstring is still there.

“Our sources have also learned that Palmer will be going for a new scan today [Wednesday] on his back to see if the cause is referred pain from his back causing his hamstrings to be tight.

• Paul Scholes criticises Cole Palmer’s dip in form: “I’ve felt for a while that for Cole Palmer, it’s almost been too easy for him to play in that Chelsea team. He knows he’ll play every week and be the best player. I think he needs challenging more, and I don’t get the impression that they [Chelsea] are desperate to win anything.”
