On the other hand, the Manchester City<\/a> boss could have felt a sense of regret as the Sky Blues let the Englishman go in 2023.<\/p>\n Guardiola has been slated for Palmer\u2019s sale<\/a>, much like Jose Mourinho came under fire for not giving Kevin De Bruyne enough of a chance before his rise at Wolfsburg and City.<\/p>\n Oscar Bobb could look for Man City exit like Cole Palmer if he remains a bit-part player<\/p>\n Luckily for Manchester City, they have another gifted number 10 in Oscar Bobb<\/a> who has all the talent in the world.<\/p>\n Manchester City rate Bobb similarly to Palmer<\/a> and they would like to keep him at all costs in the long run.<\/p>\n However, if the Norwegian international remains a bit-part player at the Etihad Stadium<\/a> next season, it is easy to foresee that he would follow in the Wythenshawe-born attacker\u2019s footsteps by departing City.<\/p>\n While a fractured foot marred Bobb\u2019s potential rise last season, it is important to consider that he has started a mere five games for Manchester City in totality; and in the following campaign, unless Pep Guardiola makes him a crucial first-team player, the youngster would understandably become frustrated.<\/p>\n With Rayan Cherki and Phil Foden being City\u2019s go-to attacking midfielders, the Oslo-born technician\u2019s best chance of nailing down a place in the starting XI is on the right-wing.<\/p>\n![\"Oscar](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/GettyImages-2221044796-1024x683.jpg\")
