I genuinely think this guy has some incredible PR with the help of Chelsea fans and the media. This dude has straight up been pants since march of 2022 and is somehow still in the “best rb itw” convo “when fit/available”. Is built like a gym devotee yet has the endurance and stamina of a wet shoe box, puts in a good attacking performance every 3 to 5 BUSINESS weeks (not even an exaggeration) and defensively, well, ask Anthony F*CKING Gordon who boned him and got him sent to the showers, probably for the better.

    Chelsea fan here. Yeah he is. Great player on his day, that’s about it. Chelsea fans in general overrate their players. I’m Argentinian, and I was in disbelief when someone said that Enzo is the next Lampard. Or that Cole Palmer is an upgrade from Jorginho. Really insane stuff.

      cole palmer doesn’t even play close to Jorginho position and everybody knows this. I think you just made that up or you ‘someone’ is an 8 y.o. kid

        I know they don’t play anywhere near the same, which is why it was crazy. Maybe it was because they offloaded Jorginho and got a Cole Palmer who is good. It just felt like they were shitting on a past player for no reason.

        And I wish I could make up something that crazy. I found the comment on a Chelsea fan page on Instagram.

        Okay so I looked back at the context. They were talking about signing Palmer and Enzo after offloading Jorginho and Kai. I guess the new players were “upgrades” because Kai didn’t work out and Jorginho was past his best. I dm’d you the screenshot

          well, if you’re comparing palmer with Kai, I do believe palmer is playing better.

          Kai will always have his Leverkusen hype and cl final goal. But palmer is currently an upgrade on him.
