maresca will start palmer as attacking midfielder, right wingers will be neto and estevao
I don’t think so, bro. With the arrival of Xavi Simons, I believe Palmer won’t be played centrally as much. Maresca will most likely stick with him on the right wing, where he was most effective last season. Neto and Estevão might get chances, but probably more in rotation or against lesser teams. Palmer’s consistency and creativity from the right is too valuable to shift permanently.

Having Palmer dictate play from midfield is honestly a waste of his attacking abilities. He’s far more dangerous operating closer to the final third, where he can directly influence the game with goals and assists. His instinct and creativity shine best in the attacking zones, not deep in midfield.

We actually don't need Garnacho, we have too many forwards already, but if we can do something like that Sancho deal, nothing spoil for me sha.

Palmer could have easily become a Ballon d’Or winner if not for the inefficiency of his attacking partners, Jackson and Madueke. Both players seemed to overrate themselves, yet consistently failed to deliver in crucial moments. Their poor decision-making and lack of end product often disrupted attacking flow and killed Palmer’s momentum, ultimately leading to his goal-scoring drought at a critical point last season.

Watch the highlight video below and see how Jackson and Madueke, perhaps unknowingly, sabotaged Palmer’s chances of claiming the Ballon d’Or.

I just hope he at least finishes third in the Ballon d’Or rankings, or better still, manages to win it despite everything.

I still strongly believe he will get there.
Maybe not now, but he surely will.

Many people say Palmer had a bad season, but I disagree. 32 GA in 52 games for a supposedly "bad" season ( As opposed to 42 GA in 48 games in 23/24.)

He set the bar so high in his first season with us, and people expected such levels again.

Palmer's "bad" season is some people's best season.

It is only a matter of time before he will be in the B'dor conversations again.

It’s Mostly your fans that talked down on Palmer

I remember he struggled for 4 months and I saw some people reaction here grin

I am sure if he didn’t do well at the CWC chelsea fans for don finally get that double mind

Why wouldn’t he finish third? He won two major trophies and the Golden Ball in the biggest club football tournament in the world. That alone puts him ahead of many contenders. So yes, it’s realistic to expect him to finish at least third. Let’s be serious here, Palmer had an elite season by any standard.

Won conference league to push him for ballon d or ba ?

CWC win was solid ,if your Palmer finish ahead of trophyless mbappe and salah wey win epl make you go sacrifice 2 camel for obatanla

You can perform below par at the epl second half ,but because you won the CWC then you finish top 3 at the ballon d or ahead of so many players who had a better season ?

I no get anything to tell you till your eyes go clear ,a chelsea player have no business with the ballon d or

Enjoy yourself and your delusion my man 👍

The latest I saw from one of the tier two sources was that the club have no fears regarding his character having conducted "background checks". It just feels like they're waiting for United to reduce the price

Salah won the Premier League and had a standout individual season locally. Mbappé, on the other hand, won absolutely nothing. Meanwhile, Palmer won two international trophies, the Conference League and the Club World Cup, and was the standout player, winning the Golden Ball in the highest-ranked club tournament globally. That’s not something you just brush off.

Let’s not forget, Messi won the Ballon d’Or off the World Cup, not Ligue 1. Modrić won it after a deep World Cup run plus a Champions League win.
Palmer has his own case, a trophy-winning season, Golden Ball, and crucial performances on the biggest stages.

So yes, he absolutely deserves to be in the top 3, especially compared to players who either won nothing or weren’t even close to being the best in their squads.

A Chelsea player might not be a regular Ballon d’Or name, but this one season from Palmer is different, numbers, trophies, and individual honors back it up. It’s not delusion. It’s just facts.

And yet, rival fans still want to act like the Club World Cup won’t be a factor in the Ballon d’Or race? This trophy carries global prestige, officially recognized at the highest level, and it’s now clear; The Club World Cup is on par with the World Cup in shaping a player’s legacy.

Going forward, it’s going to be used as a major criterion for winning, or at least getting much closer to winning, the Ballon d’Or. The game has evolved, and so has the standard for greatness.

This picture alone has flop energy written all over it 😅. The jersey, the expression, it’s giving early Lord Bendtner vibes.

If this is Arsenal’s big hope for the season, they might end up wishing they had Nicolas Jackson instead.

So you’re really taking La Liga over the Club World Cup? A tournament organized by FIFA, just like the World Cup, with heads of state and FIFA’s top brass present at the final, and you’re downplaying it?

You’re seriously comparing that to a regular league title? Be for real.
