Gallagher would be superb in our system. Covers so much ground and very underrated in the final third. Personally think he’s been misused and under appreciated at Chelsea. Whilst I love Skippy I think this guy is a level above
Yeah I think he would be a very clever addition, but will be a very difficult deal to do and need to shift PEH out.

This is actually the one that excites me the most ...which is annoying because it's the one least likely to happen

I'll be amazed if they sell him to us.
Their model is dependent on selling academy products for accounting purposes.

If we’re the only club in for him on a big fee and it enables more lavish spending without breaching FFP, I reckon they’d be very tempted.

Sounds like Fulham are keen on PEH and with our interest in Tosin I could see that happen.

This guy is respected by Chelsea fans

Chelsea fan reactions to this are very interesting, they rate him highly and think he's been their best player so far this season. Would be a fantastic bit of business! They really don't want him to go but understand they may need to as he is from their academy and it will help them balance their books.

Seems a good footballer, decent technique, agile can play with his head up and on the move with dynamic movement.
Can see him fitting into Ange's plans nicely.

Could also see Johnson fitting in nicely too.

Just hope to fuck we get (at least) another player in.

As the Samaritans are already overstretched....

Interesting signing in the sense that we all think we should be buying players that improve our first 11 but then I also want to make sure Sarr and Skipp get enough minutes.

Either way he is a very very good player but I wonder if he would come considering he is a lifelong Chelsea fan.

My personal hope, which may be unpopular and is completely unrealistic, is that we get Gallagher and Tosin which allows us to get a non HG forward.

Whilst I’d prefer we get a young prospect like Rodondo if PEH leaves. I think Gallagher is a better player then Johnson and assuming 2 of our three incomings would have to be HG I’d prefer the non HG spot go to a forward if at all possible.

Yeah there's no way we're signing both.

I've a feeling we'd be more comfortable splashing 50 million on Gallagher than BJ.

- I think we're committed to signing an HG player if at all possible

- both deals rely on outgoings but Gallagher more directly and with more moving pieces so trickier, and more potential for player not to be convinced to join, so I'd put Johnson as more likely for th

- I think the chance of both happening is only if we shift both PEH and Gio, and if at least two of our overall outgoings are with guaranteed fees attached

Of all the players we are linked with this is the one I want to happen. Like everyone else though I cannot see it materialising.

Seeing Chelsea fans reactions makes me feel a bit more hopeful than I was when I reacted negatively earlier.

I still have concerns around him but they are not happy about him leaving at all and they are a top 4 rival so I'll take that at least.

Just trying to be a bit more positive after my negative meltdown earlier :LOL:
