Martin Samuel highlighted that 'With age an increasing problem, the young talent that has been allowed to leave the club is regrettable,' focusing on their mismanagement and aging squad.
He continued, 'Palmer's form on his immediate arrival at Chelsea always suggested he could have found a place at City,' indicating missed opportunities in talent retention by City.
Additionally, Samuel remarked, 'The decline of certain individuals is obvious,' suggesting that both player aging and Guardiola's strategies are contributing to City's struggles.
Samuel closed with, 'Equally, could City have fought harder to keep 24-year-old Julián Álvarez?' critiquing the club's decision-making regarding key player departures.
