Conor Gallagher

[luRRka]

Can't we go for Chalobah if Tosin isn't an option? Sell Dier and Sanchez, bring in Chalobah and Kelly. Gallagher to replace Pierre?

Pretty sure they quoted bayern 50m. Id imagine it would be more for us

Would Chelsea really sell us an academy product?
Very sceptical

He definitely would. Dude would sell his left bollock if it was from the academy, reduced FFP, and the money was right.

I mean we're already gonna have to pay half that for Kelly tbh. So could just do away with that one and have Davies, Chalobah, Romero and VDV as the CB options.

 

[Danfunkel]

We need to remember that Boehly isn’t Abramovich. He would never sell to us, let alone a key, academy asset. But this new regime is all about business and how it fits in with his future vision for the ‘franchise’. Much more common in US sports for players to move to ‘local rivals’ or teams with history together and nobody really cares.

Chelsea ITK has stated Pierre has turned down Fulham so we cant go for Conor, they are rejoicing.

Looks like he's going atletico

Hope Levy rolls in to the office at Stamford bridge and as he hands over the holdall filled with the Gallagher readies as Boehly reaches out to grab it Levy drops it on the floor at his feet.

then looks him dead in the eye and says "Tell Roman to saddle up, the knob jockey" and walks out.

This was reported by loads of journalists like 3 hours ago.

Less first part more second part. Funnier when Pierre goes to AM and they all realise as one Conor may still actually go.

 

[rebrab]

Surely there's not all this noise and we haven't even sounded out his desire to come...

I’m sure we’ve sounded him out, but it’s making sure that’s concrete and not a contract negotiation tactic I’m worried about!

Transfer deadline day: Joao Palhinha's Bayern Munich move off after dramatic Fulham about-turn

By Sam Dean

From Matt Law:

there is a growing expectation that Maatsen will be followed out of the Chelsea exit by Conor Gallagher, with Tottenham making a verbal bid of £35m and the Blues holding out for £45m.

 

[zonbon32]

The 'growing expectation' stage. He's basically in lilywhite already

 

[Snuzzy]

Chelsea fans sowing and sowing and sowing and sowing and sowing:
- Haha, f*** yeah, hahaha

Chelsea fans potentially reaping:
- Well this sucks, what the f***

If this does happen we need to be moulding Sarr into being able to backup Bissouma as well as playing in the role he has been. I like Gallagher but once Bentancur comes back I don’t want Sarr being severely impacted in terms of game time.

 

[For the love of Spurs]

i don’t see how Chav fans can be sad. I know it’s their youth but they buy so many for so much money what do they think will happen.

It’s still Sarr’s spot to lose as of now imo. He’s been incredible.

I envision a world where CG is capable of providing cover as the 8 & 10, Sarr 8 & 6. Bentancur 6 & 8. With Lo Celso and Skipp unlikely to feature much and hopefully sold by next summer.

 

[hughy]

Poch sold his soul when he went to Chelsea to work under that headcase Boehly. I've got absolutely no sympathy for him at all if he ends up losing players he wants to keep because he doesn't have any control.

 

[eddiev14]

I don't think we'll be in trouble, when Bentancur is fit we'll have 6 CMs for 3 positions. Out of CB, CM and a forward, and I think a CM is the least important.

I’m worried about Bentancur tbh. The injury he suffered can absolutely destroy an athlete at the level these guys need to be at.

I really hope he comes back to where he was before the injury - as I honestly think he’s one of our best players - but it’s far from certain.

I’m also not a fan of Skipp.

Sarr is still only 20 and it's a big ask for him to have him starting most games this year. He will play a ton of games for us this season I have no doubt and get plenty minutes but perhaps 30 mins off the bench rather than starting. It's a great problem for us to have, Gallagher will be first choice I would guess but will be pushed very hard by Sarr who is going to be an incredible player once he fully develops.

If we're trying to work on Sarr as a 6 (speculating here) in addition to an 8, then 30 minutes to spell Bissouma when he's not starting in his current role will also benefit his growth.
