Cole Palmer: The Ghost That Haunts Etihad…

Once upon a time, in the magical land of football where stars are made with a sprinkle of pixie dust and a dash of wizardry, young Cole Palmer fluttered out of Man City’s enchanted academy gates. The boy wonder left City with fans clutching their Blue Moon-themed handkerchiefs. From City’s golden heart to Chelsea’s bustling Bridge, Palmer now kicks and flips, scoring a staggering 39 thunderbolt goals — mostly mistaken for meteor showers by onlookers.

The saga heats up as Kevin De Bruyne, the midfield maestro with more assists than a helpful octopus, drops a farewell note that echoes through Man City’s corridors of power like a vuvuzela in the night! Rumors say Palmer might flutter back to City’s nest, but alas, ’tis but a sweet mirage. Neither he nor any of his fellow Chelski comrades have magical escape clauses to teleport away without a Champions League ticket.

Even Pep ‘The Sorcerer’ Guardiola waved his wand in vain, confessing, “He wished upon a star to leave ages ago!” However, City must now prepare a royal proposal should they wish to woo him back.
