He excels at high energy pressing and breaking into the box and scoring goals from the no.8 position. I’m personally not hugely keen but he definitely has qualities that fit with Ange’ system.
He’s absolutely terrorised us playing for both WBA and Palace in the past and is an England international. It’s not some mid table no body that we’re targeting.
He is more of a n.o10 more attacking than Gallagher, playing Scott and Maddison might leave us too open, Gallagher and Maddison as the n.o8's has more balance to it although I do think Scott is a serious talent so if Ange thinks he can make it work then yes I'd prefer him over Gallagher just.Well there Alex Scott for example
Amrabat isn't better than Gallagher for what Ange needs, nor is Hatate.All those names are better investments
He clearly didn't watch much of his own team then lol. Na just joking mate thanks for sharing.Just speaking to an avid footy fan and Crystal Palace season ticket holder I work with.
He thinks Gallagher is good enough for Spurs - but only if he is used in the 'correct' way which is an attacking midfielder that is almost a second striker. That is where his best form came from at Palace.
So thinks it would be a strange buy after Maddison.
He said he's not good enough for a CM2 and would certainly need a disciplined defensive player in CM if we were to want to play him deeper.
Said he wouldn't want Palace to pay more than £35 million at the very, very most
People on here are a joke. Happens every time. It's always 'lets back the manager' until it's someone they don't like.I thought this whole backing the manager thing meant getting players he wants.
Tbf, we don't know if something changed here with the new owners on board.When was the last time Chelsea sold to us? Knowing the ridiculous sums they pay for players, and also given how much they just fleeced United for Mason Mount who plays in a similar AM position to Gallagher, I just can't see us offering them a price that they would be prepared to accept from their most hated rival.
Only if it aligns with the SC choices as well. No point in having a scouting team just need to run choices by the members on here. We'll see them rightI thought this whole backing the manager thing meant getting players he wants.
Unless we don’t want themI thought this whole backing the manager thing meant getting players he wants.
Both teams out of Europe, they have new owners and need to sell for FFP and he is hardly been a huge player for them like Mount was etc so whilst unlikely I could see it potentially happening in theory although I don't see why Poch wouldn't want him as he'd suit how Poch plays quite well.When was the last time Chelsea sold to us?

I like Gallagher, but like so many others are saying, there must be better value and more attainable options elsewhere

Also people need to get over this obsession with Alex Scott - an extremely talented player, no doubt, and one I'd like to have at Spurs. But he's being glorified on here like it is dead certain he's going to be the next Xavi or something.
Alot of snobbery going on here re: Gallagher and hard to gauge any competence at Chelsea last year for any of their personnel.
At Palace he looked a real talent and whilst i'm not necessarily advocating him for Tottenham or indeed splashing out anywhere near £50m on him, we need to stop with this attitude of thinking we know best compared to what Ange actually wants from new recruits; be it application in his system and the correct mentality to thrive.
