Some will say Saka for young player of the year, and he may win it if Arsenal win the league, but when it comes to individual performances, Palmer has been the better player and he's doing it in a much worse team.

That Bradley at Liverpool will get it, after playing about 10 games.

Not as fast as Mata? Or do you mean Mata is not as fast as Cole? I don't ever recall Mata being fast. 

I think he meant not fast just like Mata wasn't fast. I like the comparison. Palmer is a better dribbler and better at holding on to the ball though, while I feel like 2012/2013 Mata was an even better creator.

Doubt they can afford him. Given his form, English player tax, plus then being a rival team he will not go for less than 200 mil. Only City or Madrid can probably afford him if they want to buy him back.

Hopefully not.

Owners need to give him a pay increase to match Caicedo and Enzo imo. Think they are the top earners outside of the stupid contracts that were given to Sterling, Chilwell and cucurella. 

 

And Kepa and Lukaku, but that was before these owners dealings.

    Must be gut-wrenching for City fans, seeing him perform the way he is doing. The thing is, although he would not have been a constant starter, there was game time for him. Similarly to Foden, years ago when people were clamouring for him to start and were questioning Pep's use of him. There was enough game time for him on the RW. 

    Anyway another top performance. His composure and confidence is amazing. The bottle needed to score the penalty at the end is not easy for any young man, but that is twice this season now, where he has scored a penalty at the death in front of a nervy but expectant crowd. This should of been another game where he had a G&A as he brilliantly set up Gallagher who unfortunately hit the post. I hope he gets YPOTS, however if Arsenal win league, most likely Saka or Saliba who gets it, but honestly should go to Palmer. He has been exceptional.

    I've been reading the Blue Moon forum and a lot of them are so bitter. Saying he's not all that and that if Palmer's numbers are so great, then what does that say about Foden. They are ignoring that this is Palmer's breakthrough season. Apparently, Palmer's deficiencies are one of the main reasons why we are 10th 🤨

    In the Prem Foden has 14 in 30 and Palmer has 16 in 25?

    Saka.  He is overrated and blows hot and cold too much.  Foden and Bellingham are nailed on starters to the extent that they get to pick their own walk on music

     

    Agree bellingham n foden will start. No chance Palmer will start over Saka. Palmer is the better shooter but Saka ability to pick up the ball deep is extremely good. 

    I can also see Gallagher start next to rice which will make a lot fans here unhappy which is bizzare  😂😂😂

     

    He will go to the Euros, no doubt about that and based on talent alone he should be in contention for a starting place or at least to be considered one of the first on the bench to be substituted for one of the starting attacking midfielders.

    Unfortunately England have a clown as a manager and Rashford, Grealish, Bowen and even Maddison will probably get more minutes than Palmer.

    Over who? Saka? Foden? Bellingham 

    He starts over Saka. I would look at the overall team performance then look at how the player performs in that team. We are sh*te and he’s been nothing but class and a game changer. Saka has underperformed massively this season but he will probably get pick for the first game.

    I would say his competitors are Saka, Foden, Bowen, Bellingham and Maddison.

    Very hard to say he is even second choice not because he lacks talent yet lacks caps and we are overstocked in attacking players.

    Saka has the highest rating in the PL on Whoscored ... presumably because he has massively underperformed ?

    He is also 3rd in the points table (behind Watkins and Foden) in that PL Fantasy League thing ...
