Why did Man City let Palmer go?

Do you think Manchester City regret selling Cole Palmer to Chelsea?

Discussing the Blues forward on the BBC Radio 5 Live Monday Night Club, New York Times journalist Rory Smith said: "It does seem really weird that they sold someone who might be the best player in the Premier League for £40m. That is not even a lot of money in modern football.

"It is strange that Pep Guardiola thought he was not going to play at City, but maybe that is because he was not willing to centre the team around him like Enzo Maresca is.

"City probably should be thinking they have made a mistake!"
