Maresca also worked with Palmer inside City's academy and insists no-one doubted about his potential.
He said, "Everyone in City knew how good Cole is.
"The only problem is that when there are so many players, it's hard to give them all minutes, so no one in City thought Cole wasn't good enough, no doubt about it."
