Burnley no longer play Dyche type football. 

But they also won't be dominating possession in the prem. They will have to play differently in the prem to how they played last season, Kompany alluded to this on the Overlap podcast. If Pep wants him to have a genuine experience to what it is like playing for Man City, albeit at a lower level, then maybe we are an option despite prem interest.

It’s an odd one. On the face it it you’d say we’ve no chance…. But, with Enzo at the helm is increases the potential of it happening somewhat.

 

It then boils down to what Man City want for him and his development. And if Burnley are genuinely interested you’d have to say they might see that as an opportunity for him to develop in the premier league. 
 

The risk is with Burnley is they will be embroiled in a relegation fight, which could be detrimental to his development. Imagine if he goes there and Kompany is gone by Christmas? 
 

But, I think the reason this wouldn’t come off, if because of Cole himself. Reading comments about him, he’s an extremely self confident lad who’s well aware of his own ability, I don’t think he would entertain the idea of playing at this level.

or Sheff Utd or Luton

 

he'd be ideal for any of them imo

but there’s always the argument that man city want him learning the winning habit. Playing when a team has a low block. 
 

Id argue that a year with a strong championship team would better prepare him for life at man city than a year getting pummeled at luton or sheffield u

good point, a year in the championship and regular football would do him good, 

but all depends on what man city think,

When Mahrez boards the plane to Saudi does this not open more opportunities for Palmer to play?

I agree. But there’s many Premiership clubs that still do.

Depends on what Man City do after. They've only splashed out on one signing so far so they'll have cash to play with if they want a replacement for Mahrez (should he go).

They've got 100s of millions available to them, they'll find someone, especially if Bernardo Silva leaves as well.

We'll more likely end up with Cole Porter...

Or Carlton Palmer (one for our older readers). Was he the worst player ever to play for England, or was that Razor Ruddock?

I do worry that just because Man City has - at great expense - assembled probably the best senior team in the world, people assume it means that their academy will consistently produce solid gold talent.
 

This logic doesn’t follow. I’m not sure their pedigree of developing top talent is particularly exceptional.

 

It’s all well and good us being linked with the entire Man City U21 squad, but I’m not sure it’s the guarantee of quality people think it is.

If it’s true that brighton are interested then we move on ….

They've won Premier League 2 three years running by, at the smallest margin, 13 points. 

 

In preparation for Guardiola arriving they rebuilt their club from the ground up including turning their academy in to a c. arbon copy of La Masia. 

 

They're doing OK. 

[Ric Flair]

His teeth give me the willies and not in a good way.

 

Proper footballer though.

I get your point but Doyle looked decent last season in a decent Cov side and Palmer already doesn't look too out of place in Man Citys 1st team. 

[LFEFox23]

This one not happening lads.

I don’t watch much PL football on tv, but who are the ‘many’ sides that play like Burnley used to ? 
l don’t doubt your opinion, I’m just interested. 

[FosseSpark]

McAtee, Borges, Cairney, Chair all more likely youd have thought.

[Haywood_6]

I'd love him here but realistically he's too good for the Championship. I bet he wants to test himself in Europe or the PL

they have invested heavily in their development squad/ system and  are consistently producing top exciting talent. Arguably the top 4 players in the championship last year were all young Man City loanees..

[Dan]

Pipedream. He's too good for this division sadly.

Nah, Michael Ricketts.

[jayfox26]

Highly unlikely we get him as Man c will want him to go to a prem team
