Fair enough.

Tbh, I'd be so worried for palmer on those pitches. I guess he's good enough to not need too much help with marescas system if he played under him in the man city development squad too.

That and he is busy playing online shooters too.

Guess we know how he got so deadly.

Shame he's soo young. I would have kicked his arse in CS 1.6, 😆 

Maresca's said he wants him to stay at Chelsea next season, certainly one of the few players proving himself this pre season. 

Really puts himself about - a lot to like here. Shame he has zero service - hope we don’t kill his confidence 

Hopefully we get to see him and Palmer link up in the front line, that could be something very special. 

Strong lad

I like this fella defo has the right attitude 👌

Only player to put a shift in for both games by the sounds of it.

He should stay with the first team imo.

His runs in behind are excellent and he keeps the CB’s moving.

With a bit of time and development he could be our no1 striker

Sorry, I forgot, you're onboard with the board.

I better put a smiley face.

😂

Honestly think he could fighting his way into the starting 11 for next season this pre season.

Me too. Strong, mobile, good natural instincts. And barely past puberty.

He certainly gives us the option to mix it up, he seems equally happy dealing with a long ball, a ball into feet or a ball in behind. He's obviously still a bit raw and clumsy but that is to be expected. Really hope he sticks around and we get to see some more this season, particularly with the amount of games we'll likely have.

Agreed.

I really hope he stays in the squad. He's the "ollie watkins" ppl were asking for and said would work well with palmer at Chelsea during the euros. But he's strong enough to fight and hold the ball too!

Younger, fitter and really wants to make a mark. Maybe too enthusiastic at times and gets into his team mates way but that will sort itself out as he trains with them and understands their way of playing.

Both him and Jackson can link up well and play off each other. Also he'll get some great passes from Palmer, once he returns.

His hold up play his pretty good but I still think he needs to improve his game. Some of his touches, link up play and decision making were poor last night. 

But again, he's 18.

Exactly he's really young and I like his enthusiasm.

I think a loan to Watford would suit him well. Sure to change managers like we are and a chance to assimilate to London life.

Your post was going so well until the start of the 3rd paragraph.... 

I'm not angry with you....just disappointed.

Watford is not London....despite what those northerners would like us to believe.

Anything south of Northampton and East of Bath is just London i'm afraid, i don't make the rules. If it costs more than £4 a pint, it's London.

Saying Watford is London would be like saying South Carolina is Florida lol (Even though i agree all those Southerners are the same)

I like to think I'm not like the stereotypical southeastern US hillbilly. I don't own a gun, I vote blue, and several of my teeth are real!
