Poor Foden not getting any love here.
His stats are unreal last few years.
Anyway for me Salah has to be a bit above Palmer with Saka close behind.
And that guy who scores all those goals for city somewhere after.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I feel foden is a bit of a system player. Salah I can get fully behind though. Has good games. But even his bad games he still provides. Just a fantastic career at this point and should be in shouts of pl teams all time
Providing a realistic and balanced perspective in this current world of hyperbole and extremes.
Best player in the league right now? Maybe. I kind of like to think there is a subtle difference between calling someone the 'best in the league right now' and the 'best in the league', where the latter includes players who have done it for longer, like Salah. With Palmer having a little over one season of good form I'm not sure he should be getting in ahead of guys like that. And the argument for him having not really done it elsewhere yet in other competitions is a valid one. How well you do on other stages surely adds to how good you are as a player. No doubt he would be able to do it in Europe..I mean he scored in a Euro final. He just needs to be able to show and prove it.
Foden is a dirty chaaaav caaaant
He’s probably the most impactful. I wouldn’t say best, though I find that hard to quantify.
I've been singing his praises but this is getting ridiculous now.
why are Chelsea fans so obsessed with x player being the best in the league? First it was thiago Silva, then Ben chilwell, now it's Palmer. Just relax and enjoy it while it lasts.
“It's a short time period but I can only think of gerrard and hazard coming as close to carrying a team to victories near single handedly”
those players carried their clubs to multiple trophies. Palmer carried you to Europa Conference qualification. How can you even make this comparison

Still relevant though on a match to match basis. I can’t remember a team so heavily reliant on someone other than the ones I’ve mentioned. Maybe le tissier and shearer are also a shout

Saka is a diving cheat..
...and a khunt.
He's certainly in the conversation as one of the best. Still needs more than one good season to considered world class imo
He now needs to show he can do it consistently.

1 goal in his first 6 games this season. He basically scored them all in one game. Against a crap Everton side. That's not consistency. In fact, that's the definition of inconsistency.

Yeah, Tu Meke, that's unfair.
It's basically Nick who has this obsession, not Chelsea fans in general. And maybe that cmf weirdo.
Imagine a team like Brighton who have been the same level as Chelsea in recent years, claiming that Mitoma is the best player in the league just because he is good for them at that level.
Can't pull the wool over our eyes just because of the name "Chelsea" who used to be a top club.
They are now a mid table, conference league side since they lost their oil money.
Teams like Sunderland had players like Kevin Phillips. Ipswich had Marcus Stewart. Wolves had Robbie Keane, Reading had Kevin Doyle, QPR had Charlie Austin, Stoke had Charlie Adam, Southampton had Rickie Lambert, Man City had Paul Dickov.
Lots of mid table teams had star players, but no one would say these players were the best in the league or best in the world.
Mid table Chelsea have Cole Palmer. He is pretty decent at that level.
Yet to find his feet in the conference league.
The end.
I will give you a validating laugh emoji if you can represent your point graphically.

a.) so now its all about goals? hmmm.
b.) He's also got 4 assists in those games.
And we're just forgetting all of last year?
