I saw Cole Palmer go for £40m but it’s too much to think ESR can go for the same.
How much time has Palmer spent with injury issues?
Also it’s generally bad logic to use what Chelsea pay as a barometer unless they are bidding.
Gordon £50m. Madueke £35m. Gibbs White, Willock close to £30m. Scott £22m
Of all of these I feel Gibbs White is the only one to have increased value now
Well yes it is, because of his injury history. If he can stay fit it’s a different story perhaps, but since he seemingly can’t no-one is paying that.
ESR has no future here where as Palmer could have been at least a part player at City. He is also two years younger i think.
Think about it from the other side, if you just saw Palmer go for 40m, why would you pay as much for ESR who’s older, always injured and has barely played in 2 years? Palmer is not the right comparison for your point.
Palmer would’ve had a decent ish role for City this season whereas ESR is pretty publicly 3rd choice at best for every role he plays
