This is a thread about Conor Gallagher although that might be difficult to spot quite often. Surely what Chelsea fans think of him is relevant if we're interested in buying him?

I’m in the Connie Gallagher transfer thread and some arsehole tells me the half time score if a game I intended to watch when I got home. Why do people keep doing this????
Not asking for ITK but who has the money? Still can’t see anyone abroad stumping up. Fulham looked a good fit if they sold Paulinha but that has gone quiet. I’d love a Hojbjerg Vermeeren swap but just can’t see it happening

Maybe just stay away from anything that's related in any way to the game that you don't want to know the score of, rather than calling people arseholes.
You're in a thread about a Chelsea player during a Chelsea game, what do you expect?
I think that you're the one at fault here mate.

I'd probably avoid the Internet if you want to avoid discovering a score, let alone a football forum, let alone a thread of a player who plays for the team you are trying to avoid discovering the score of

It's like me blaming ceefax for telling me the score of a game I was waiting for match of the day to watch!

I wouldn't go in the match thread on a Saturday, it's full of them spoiling it for everyone else.

£70m for Gallagher.The Shed End - gone back as far as their latest Premier League game which was a 1 - 0 win against Fulham at home.
- No surprise, loose a game (they won?) and the middle age melts get upset and start picking on the better player across the season in our squad for kicking. Depressing reading some of the comments here. Lets try this, not going to be popular, but for 100 million, Enzo is mugging us off that he's a midfielder because he actually doesn't bring or carry any type of threat anywhere across the pitch. But sure, lets pick on the Cobham grad while waiting for your Male Hormone replacement therapy.
- What are you classing as "threat"? Goals and assists stat no doubt. If it is goals then it is 4-0 to Enzo!
- That's what I find the most ironic. Goals and assists being used against Enzo (and he'd have plenty of the latter if the attacking players did their job better) but our most attacking CM has 0 goals coming into January but is apparently our best player.
- I thought he was really poor again today. He would be a nightmare to play with as a CM partner, he just doesn't play with any positional discipline. More of the usual running all over the place, getting in the way of players, taking up other players positions, charging out of deep areas trying to win a ball that will never be one and leaving a massive gap in midfield. A big part of the reason why look so disorganised is because of Gallagher, he is pulling the entire team out of shape. The commentators are blind and have no understanding of the game if they think running all over the place makes you "elite".
- He offers absolutely nothing in games like this. If there was ever the perfect example of a headless chicken it's him. The difference in class between him in Palmer in the attack is ginormous. From physical, technical, and mental. For the first time Poch went bananas with him today for not acknowledging the attack and passing backwards but he's been doing this all season. If we've got the likes of Noni, Sterling, Mudryk, and Palmer available there's just no reason Conor should be starting in games like this when we need to break teams down.
- It has all been said above. With Conor taking such critical roles in the team we will always be held back. I have the utmost respect for his effort and workrate, but Chelsea really need to move on. He is not good enough on the ball.
- I don't like being too critical of him because I do like what he does offer and he's a perfect 12th/13th player in the squad, but his untouchable status and best player shouts need to stop.
- Gallagher as a 10 VS deep blocks is one of the most painful watches in my life.
- Love him , live his passion and drive but he’s not a starting 11 player in any time that wants to win big trophies. He’s a fantastic squad player!!
- Connor Gallagher deserves so much better from this fan base than he's getting. It's really sad reading. Every manager who he has played for puts him in the starting 11. The clubs who will be in for him are all above us in the league and he has 11 more England caps than any poster on here. First name on the team sheet for me. this side needs his engine and tenacity. he's proven premiership experienced and will go up levels over the coming years.
- With experience he will improve 100%.. especially tactically and decision making .. also his timing into the box.. lamps was similar age when we bought him.. wonder how we would have treated him. yesterday was not a great game for him but he seems an easy target for fans .. at times it feels some on here are more concerned about trying to be right than CFC
- The lad is Henderson without experience. Would be silly to get rid of him because he's perfect for what he's good at, bringing energy and setting tempo
- Issue is he doesn’t see himself as a squad player, that is where the hold up regarding his contract comes from.
- £70m+ he probably goes, a penny less and its embarrassing. No way should we be paying more for Lavia than we get for Conor in this market.
- I honestly think the club simply see him as another get out of jail free card.They've been wanting to get rid of him since last January. I think if an offer comes up like £40m (What Maddison was purchased for) the club will accept.
- If a suitable offer comes in I think we should sell. Not a reflection on his passion or desire, but a view on his quality and output. Not everyone can play an 8+/10 every week, and Conor has been a consistent performer, but his best games seem to be when we are pretty bad. When we've played better has been much quieter. Difficult decision, but thinking about our ambitions and where we need to be in 2-5 years, to me he is a squad player.
- Gallagher doesn't really have any highly sought after qualities which would interest a lot of clubs. Only really his workrate, which you could get from anyone really, that doesn't require talent. His passing, shooting, tackling, vision, etc... are all mediocre for this level. No-one is paying 70m for him. I'd be shocked if anyone paid more than 30m. That being said, we should probably keep him, since he's the only one who can stay fit.
- Mount at 60 million was us pulling United's pants down. Gallagher has never been anywhere near the level as Mason Mount ever was here. No club would pay over 50 million for Conor, I wouldn't be in a rush to sell him as we need fit reliable squad players who work hard, but at the same time I wouldn't say no to an offer like that because we won't get another one as good as that.
- You would have to be very lucky to get 50m for Gallagher so you would snap up an other like that. I just don't see how any top team would want Gallagher unless they see him as a cheap backup as 40m is cheap for the big clubs.
- His ability as a footballer is being questioned on here. I’ve seen enough in him over the last few months to disagree. He’s no Pirlo but he’s much better than some seem to think.
- As has been said, we accepted a bid from Everton worth £45 million a year ago. Anything less than £60 mill should be thrown out.
- He's not just not world class, he's barely average. Everybody is deceived by him running around like an idiot thinking that makes him good. I've seen the exact same thing from hundreds of mid table players all of the way down to lower leagues. He's a passion merchant.
- Another day another post trashing a CFC player. Honestly, why do you wake up every morning wondering how you can have a pop at a footballer on an internet forum. We know you think he's sh*t, not good enough, not talented enough, blah blah blah
- Okay, I'll give you that. He's not a bad footballer, nobody gets to this level if you can't play football, but he's a very mediocre Premier League footballer.
- The biggest thing he needs to improve on is his treatment of socks.
- I am going to do some Gallagher bashing. I know. He covers the most ground, puts in the most effort, smiles the most, even has some great statistics, tackles won, loyalty strong and his devoted to the club he supported as a boy. All true. BUT, if you play as the advanced midfield player in any team you have to score a freaking goal every now and then. No end product. Get your sh1t together Conor.
- You middle aged bastard, stop criticising our Conor, are you even a Chelsea fan? Come off it and get a grip, shocking behaviour this.
To be fair, you can understand Chelsea fans being confused if they use what their own club pay for people as a yardstick for their market value.£70m for Gallagher.

There’s a thread for football competitions . There is absolutely no reason for someone in a player thread mention the score of an ongoing game regardless whether that players team is involved or not. It just thoughtless bad manners.

sorry but this is an insane expectation and you are being extremely self-absorbed. This isn't a rule of this website and no one would logically have had the thought of this when posting.
Why the fuck would you do that with a Chelsea game! Just in case u missed it , 6 - 1 to the scum.

Sorry it shouldn’t be an insane expectation nor am I self absorbed. I was raised to have consideration for others. We live in a time where with DVR and streaming services etc people don’t need to view games live but can watch them at their leisure. Add to that with the internet someone can find the score of a game in a matter of minutes. Why therefore would someone presume that people on a thread not about a specific game want to know the score? It’s no different than telling someone who the murderer was in a whodunit that they were possibly going to watch . . If anyone is self absorbed then it’s people who unasked post the scores from other games. The least they could do is put a Spoiler Alert. As I say It shows a lack of consideration for others and quite frankly I’m amazed and depressed that so many on here are defending it. A sign of the times, I suppose!
That’s my last word on the subject so flame away to your hearts content.

Dude it's you, it happens, and has happened in multiple player threads for potential transfers over the years, that's why these threads exist, to track and talk about all performances past and present of current targets.
Historically you're wrong.
Claiming you're raised better than others on this forum over this situation is frankly bizarre and really fucking condescending, I'm not sure why you've decided today is that day but I hope tomorrow is better for you.
