We freaking stole him for £42 million 🤣🤣

He would be £100+ now! 

It's usually the other way round!

😂

 

I take it Cole palmer will be available for first game of the season?

Think we're f**ked without him and I dread to think how we'll do if he picks up an injury at any stage of the season.

We lost him for one game against Arsenal and got hammered. He's carrying this team.

He played at Anfield where we would have troubled the PL loss record but for Nunez's crap finishing.

He playing at The Emirates wouldn't have changed much.

With Sanchez, Badiashile, Disasi and Tosin in the back, it doesn't matter who we have up top. 

So we are going to be signing Gabriel Mac from Gremio, Estaveo and Paez signed already. 

Does that leave Cole for sale in 2 years.

Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer has signed a two-year contract extension at Stamford Bridge.

Palmer, 22, already had seven years remaining on his existing contract and his new extension keeps him with the Blues until 2033, having previously been tied down until 2031.

The nine-year deal is yet to be officially announced.

Palmer's incredible debut season for the Blues following a £42.5m arrival from Manchester City saw him score 22 goals and provide 11 assists in 33 Premier League appearances.

The scaremongers are properly rattled. 

Captain of my fantasy football team this year. 

Someone strip that #10 kit of Mudryk. 

Thank god we’ve extended his contract. He only had 7 years left!!!!!

I suspect the new contract also includes a pay increase to keep him sweet.

Not into hyperbole, yet think the sky is the limit with this chap. He’s got energy, composure, awareness, can score goals, create goals, rarely has a bad game. Wouldn’t swap him for any other English player in The Premiership 

2 years?? What part of "sign him up for 8 more years" did they not understand?!

In addition he’s got some bo**ocks on him, in a period where we are crying out for leaders

2yrs over the 7 he already has that's 9 yrs!

Must be a record!

Also yeah, reports say much better pay and add ons to keep him sweet.

 

I hope he stays for a very long time, in a few yrs he can lock down the middle, link and dictate play with those south American youngsters taking the wings. Would be nice to see after the kids copied his celebration.

If we ever sell him it’s going to be a British record at the very least and will probably top the £140 million fee for Hazard.

He’s that good.

Nice pay increase I think and he knows he’s a starter if fit so it’s easy to sign an extension.

I see Ethan Ampadu made the Championship Team of the Year alongside Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall as well !

Been waiting for this for a while. Why do they wait until the next season starts to announce it now? Deserved it though.

Kind of ridiculous that neither of Palmer or Saka made the team of the year though.

That suit looks huge, looks like an NBA players in the early 2000s.
