“I’m gone” – Cole Palmer reveals what he said in Man City group chat when joining Chelsea

Chelsea talisman Cole Palmer has revealed what he said in the Manchester City group chat before swiftly joining Chelsea in the summer of 2023.

Palmer has gone on to prove that he made a top decision to join Chelsea, because he has become our KEY player and the one that we have been relying on to make things happen, especially last season.

EXCLUSIVE! Premier League club make enquiry to sign Chelsea player that could lead to swap deal seeing striker going the other way!!

Many criticised the signing and didn’t think it was a good move, but those who had watched Palmer regularly, knew it was going to be a good signing. I don’t think any of us could have predicted it going this well so soon though and him becoming a super important player for the club. But he’s always had that special ability and the x-factor about his game.

Palmer has been explaining how it all came around when he left City, and he reveals that he actually never really had a chance to say goodbye to his team mates.

He has a big spread in today’s GQ issue alongside another England youngster Kobbie Manoo.

“I remember training on a Wednesday at City in the afternoon, and the news was ‘they’re trying to agree a fee,’” he says. “Every time the ball went out I’d ask the kit man or the doctor if they’ve agreed the fee yet.” But the deal dragged on, as deals do, and most people went home. “So I didn’t really get a chance to see many people and say I’m going. I just had to get my stuff.” That’s the mercenary reality of football at the top level: no goodbyes, except what can be said over text. “I messaged the group chat, said ‘Thanks and everything. I’m gone.’ That was it.”

The way he messaged in the group chat, so casual, is very typical Cole Palmer, totally chilled!
