First of all, many people are clamoring to sell Palmer. I can understand everyone's mood. His current state of playing football is really unacceptable. However, to be honest, it is indeed impossible to sell him. According to Qinghu's idea, Palmer should be the core of Chelsea. Although he did not show his core abilities this season, I think the biggest problem is that he has not recovered well from his injury. He had surgery after the World Cup, which may change. If you question Palmer's upper limit, I suggest you relive the Champions League game against Bayern. In that game, Enzo was limited and Caicedo was limited. Only he performed normally. It turns out that Chelsea needs players of Palmer's type at the highest level. Moreover, his poor performance before was due to Rosenier's tactics. He often retreated to a deep position to catch the ball. If in the new tactics, his position can be closer to the goal, I believe he will perform well. In addition, his perception this season is very poor because his dribbling has regressed too much. The main reason why his dribbling has regressed is because of his injury. Many times, I feel as if my feet are caught on something and my movements are not smooth. If the pain is healed, it may actually be different. To say that his shooting ability has declined is nothing more than kicking away a lot of ugly balls. This situation can happen to anyone, and he is strongly criticized only because he is one of the more exposed players at Chelsea. In fact, his shooting this season gave people a poor intuitive feeling because he often played too eagerly and was eager to prove that he was like this. Against Manchester United, he missed several opportunities that might have appeared with a slight adjustment. When it comes to shooting skills, I said that the extent of his regression is actually not very big. For example, the goal scored against Villa, not just anyone can score, right. In addition, he is one of Chelsea's top players with extremely high commercial value. Furthermore, he is particularly popular with local fans in the UK. Chelsea's current ability to attract money is not very good. So from a business perspective players like him are really valuable. And he also made it clear that he wanted to stay at Chelsea for a long time. It would be unwise to take the initiative to sell your core players if they have no intention of leaving. Also, no team will pay a high price for a player like him whose abilities are neither good nor bad and whose worth is extremely high. Even if you sell it at a high price, it is not easy to find players of the same type as him in the market. What's more, players with such spirituality are already very rare.
Palmer is particularly disliked by everyone. The key point is that he is not the kind of player who relies on his personal ability to make his teammates feel comfortable playing football. Instead, he has to rely on his teammates to create conditions for him to output. In layman's terms, he sucks the blood of his teammates. Now that he has regressed so obviously, this also has something to do with Chelsea's player selection. In the past, the breakthrough of stick brother and the involvement of forwards created space for him to output. However, now Chelsea's two wings are basically paralyzed. Buying an excellent winger in the summer and formulating tactics around him will indeed help Palmer's performance. Palmer is this player. As long as you play around him, it will definitely bring you results, but the premise is that if you don't tilt relevant resources to him, then he will be at a loss on the court. In terms of its own characteristics, Chelsea must implement tactical arrangements around him based on that situation. Previously, Luo Hai used him purely as a tool, so he performed very poorly. I think he has the ability to assume the core positioning, but he has not been able to overcome the difficulty of injury. There is a certain problem with his mentality, which was very obvious in the game he played against Manchester United. He was eager to shoot, resulting in many missed opportunities that could have been grasped. In addition, his physical condition has not fully recovered, so he is currently not performing well. However, I think everyone should give him some patience. He previously performed poorly at the end of the season and failed to score in more than ten consecutive games, but he finally successfully adjusted and helped the team win the championship in the Club World Cup final. I believe he can become the same bubble in the end
The argument that Palmer and Enzo are incompatible is completely false in my opinion. They have collaborated for a long time before, and there is no problem from a technical and tactical perspective. I feel that this is purely an excuse for fans to attack each other.
Having said that, Palmer will never be sold. Even if our fans in the Far East clamor to sell him, Chelsea will not sell him. In view of the high probability that we will still see him playing on the court next season, I think we should be more patient with him. If he does not play well, there is no problem in criticizing him. However, it is unrealistic to keep talking about cashing him out at a low price, and even saying to sell him for 50 to 60 million at every turn.
