It was a well deserved award for the English midfielder, he has been in top form since the joining Chelsea and everyone thought he was just a one season wonder and that he would just give a mid performance this season and won’t be at his best but the young player has proven everyone wrong. His wonderful performances have earned him the player of the month after pulling a wonderful performance of 5 goals 1 assist, he scored 4 goals in a single match.
Last season Foden also performed brilliantly although if they hadn’t won the league Palmer should have won the player of the season award but Foden also performed well.
Comparing Palmer and Foden, i think both players are very talented but both have different style of play so I wouldn’t want to compare them. I’d pick Palmer over Foden though.
I would pick Palmer over Foden. While Foden definitely looks like he is doing a great job and he is getting more and more playing time when he is healthy, Palmer became a star player for the team, and this is a wonderful help to Chelsea in the future. They were bad last season, but doing better this year, probably may go to UCL next season, all thanks to Palmer having great games.
I believe we are going to end up with a bigger trouble or profit when the time comes, and because of this they end up with a greater amount of risk, so it shouldn't really be dealing with anything at the best time. Just focus on how you could get better situation around Palmer, if they can build a decent team then they will be fine.
Right now, they famously have 40+ players and everyone mocked them about this, they know they are not going to use most of them, so they should probably start selling them right away, and use this money to get someone more decent around Palmer. If Palmer had the system Foden had, then Palmer would have been twice as good, but Palmer plays in a chaotic team whereas Foden is playing in a winner club, and this difference make it look like Foden is as good as Palmer but I doubt that.
