Yeah, we're not paying £45m if that's the figure Chelsea wants.
One suspects this will be a protracted transfer that goes well into August if Chelsea are looking for £45m plus.

If PEH goes then perhaps we’d be suited targeting Veiga instead as opposed to a lengthy transfer triangle saga with West Ham and Chelsea.

Yeah we're not bidding that much.

Yeah, not particularly fussed about this transfer. If there was any truth in our interest in the player, the club should go ahead and put those proposed funds towards a deal for a CB or two.

We could target Veiga but keep on with this one as long as we can just to bugger them about 😊

Seems like Chelsea want some of that Rice money. Which will most likely happen to us if/when we sell Kane and want to buy some players.

Could be the case.

Ange is the type of guy to not want to mess about and if there is not much in it between Veiga and Gallagher, he may just be happy to take Veiga

Very keen on us signing him; but £40mm is too much. Hopefully he’ll reject a move to West Ham as he’s far above their level.

I only wanted him as it meant more chance on 2x non HG centre backs (ie. Tapsoba and VDV). But sounds like Gallagher will be too much and we’ll punt for Veiga or another non-HG midfielder, meaning we go for Tosin (HG) and one other non-HG centre back.

I just don’t see it with Gallagher. I get that his stats are good - but so are Hojbjerg’s. He never passes the eye test whenever I see him (that’s pretty infrequently though)

Who is going to pay £45 mil for Gallagher? Chelsea getting greedy, good chance he stays if that’s the price they are looking for.

I think they'll end up agreeing a fee with West Ham for around 40m. West Ham need to make a signing sharpish and Chelsea are just using the typical negotiating tactics to squeeze out a few more million.

No chance he's coming here if those are the figures. Would cost more than Maddison ffs.

West Ham just bid £25m for Ward-Prowse instead

Seemed a good fit for Ange style but £40m is £5-£10m too much. Actually has much to offer if played regularly but still to be persuaded that we need him as some of current options being ignored.


Anyway let's move on, at start of window we were told had we always alternative targets and that we would not mess around hanging about if deals not done - let's prove it like we have with CBs (or not as case may be).

I quite like the guy for what he showed at Palace, and can't blame any player for the shitshow that Chelsea were last season...but he's not worth £45m with the best will in the world, even off of his Palace form.

He’s only had one good season in the Premier League and when he kept banging them in for Palace my thought was more ‘this kid is on such a hot streak’ rather than ‘wow, this guy is special’.

Wouldn’t mind having a looking a him for a fire sale price but not for +£40m.
