Cole Palmer as Bruno’s long term replacement?
I know it’s just click bait but that would be incredible. Although the biggest concern would be replacing someone who is nearly ever injured with someone quite prone.
That’s the kind of name we should be looking at when the time comes to look for a replacement for Bruno.

Wharton, Mainoo and Palmer would be a decent midfield.
{Ed025's Note - wouldn,t it just Grim..

But is it just click bait 2toms? Any Ed know something?
Maybe its just me but i always believed there is something between Palmer and us, from the day he went to Chelsea. I sawed this transfer as a stepping stone for Palmer to maybe come to us. That said i am not so sure he is what we want, or what we need.

United fan isn’t he Heaven, so would seem possible, but he would’ve very very expensive.
22 Jan 2026 17:05:58
Anyone would take Palmer, but I am not sure he used Chelsea as a stepping stone too us! That’s wishful thinking and United blinkers.

Palmer is under contract until 2033. Even if he wanted a move, United would need to pay a world record fee to get him. Until the club is winning trophies again, and playing in the champions league, transfers like this are beyond us. We can see this year that the club needs to sell before buying, and I don’t think the club will get anything like what was offered for Bruno last summer again.
Obviously he’d be a great signing, but we’re not in position to do things like this.

I think Palmer is too inconsistent to even be considered as someone to lace Bruno boots let alone fill them!
English + Chelsea+long contract means you would pay more for him than any of the other options I mentioned in a previous post.
Paz, musiala, Guler, four are all waaaay better than palmer.
He is PL proven though, but as I said, too inconsistent, but maybe that is due to the Chelsea model of having 5000 players.

Je Suis that's just what i thought . Ofcourse maybe i am wrong . But its not a wishful thinking because i am not so sure i want him with the injuries he has.

He is probably better than anyone mentioned above on his day, but for a young player injured far too much which is a worry at this stage of his career, When Pep ships you out there is a problem, same as when Real Madrid ship you out, you know it’s not long term, it’s not so bad when players at end of career but Palmers age is a concern, if we are dreaming like signing Palmer I would have Foden.

Maybe it is happening after all.

Palmer is a very good player, he and his family are big United fans. Rumours are he wants to come back to Manchester but can’t see the lot in charge ponying up the fee. They were looking at Semenyo but suspect we would need to pay more for Palmer.
Lots of rumours about Wharton doing the rounds today.

Wharton another good player, as he got what it takes to step into a big arena, it’s another big gamble, as looks like our signings will now be, where the percentage rate of them turning into great players is low, it’s one thing looking good at Crystal Palace to doing under the spotlight every week with huge pressure every day
We signed lots of those that are not managing it lately and the huge problem we have is we are so poor they have to come in and get chucked straight in the team, that’s tough if you not got the right mentality.
