  1. Exhibit 1,782b of Chelsea having no idea what they are doing, with a 9 year contract.

  2. OP, can you add in the part that mentions that they have given a 2 year extension on what was his original 8 year contract please. His original contract was until 2031, this extension takes him to 2033. That’s a 9 year contract.

  3. Is it huge? I mean it’s deserved, he’s our best player by a mile but he was already under contract until 2031. Obviously it’s more money but still.

  4. Good for Palmer, because I’m assuming he’s gotten a healthy raise for this.

    I don’t understand this from Chelsea’s point of view though. You already had him locked up on 75 a week for 7 more years. This feels like a lot of money to pay for 2 years way in the future that you don’t know if you want.

  5. you can never justify giving 9 year contract to any player, 5+1 should be absolute max

  6. Anybody know his new wage? Must’ve been huge to agree to a whopping 9 year deal imo

  7. Interesting as inflation will cut into this eventually. Sure the financial security is great but I imagine in 7 years time this may well be a contract he doesn’t want to stay in.

  8. “But if Cole is what he is now, it’s because he learned for 10 to 15 years the way he learned at City.” -Maresca

    City really do just dominate the PL and Academy systems like nobody has ever seen.
