Conor Gallagher

[djhotspur]

Personally think we should be targeting a backup 6 if we are looking to reinforce the midfield. Gallagher is at his best higher up the pitch.

He is but he can play 6, so can Benta so it gives us options.
if we have a group of
Biss, benta
Gallagher, sarr
Madds, gio
it’s a very elite set of cms with most of them able to play multiple positions.
we also have Kulu to rotate too.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Lo Celso is a better player. Gallagher is a hard worker and presses well but he’s technically limited. Gio is injury prone but technically he is on another level to Gallagher and Gio has significantly better vision and passing ability. Gallagher would be a slight upgrade on Skipp but i don’t think he adds anything to this team we don’t already have. I think he’d be a very solid addition but wouldn’t add anything significant and if he wasn’t home grown I wonder if we would actually be interested.

I think he’d be a more valuable part of the squad than GLC. I know what you mean though

Agree significant upgrade on Skipp and PEH and moving these two on and replacing with Gallagher makes a lot of sense. Gallagher would provide cover or competition for Sarr in that 8 role. He’s not a patch on GLC as a footballer and wouldn’t provide much in the role to cover Maddison, Gallaghers best attributes are his engine and attitude while being tidy in possession.

He’s a much better footballer than GLC, he’s Chelsea’s best player and captain elect. Gio gets nowhere near our first team when everyones fit,, that’s why weve been pushing him around Europe for the last 3 years,,,, even struggling to get a loan for him

Don’t see that at all. Lo Celso’s better on the ball. Much better ball manipulation, better ball carrier, better passer. Gallagher might be a bit busier off the ball but watching him more and more he doesn’t seem to win the ball back very often without committing a foul. might be more effective pressing further forward for us though and can see why the manager might like him in that role trying to help win the ball back quicker but as a pure footballer Lo Celso’s a level up.

Yet Connor Gallaghers got more desire, willingness and commitment in his left toe, Then lo celso will ever have,, hence why he’s anges first choice.

But he’s not a much better footballer which is what I was replying to and I wouldn’t say Lo Celso lacks desire, commitment and willingness when he plays.

I don’t know why it hasn’t worked out for Lo Celso, I think the turbulence at the end of the Poch era, his reluctance to play new signings that were seeing at Chelsea now then Mourhinho and Conte football made it difficult for him to get going here and get consistent football. He’s a quality player that joined the club at the wrong time.

Gallagher is a hard worker and I like his energy and the ground he covers but he’s not Chelsea’s best player and on the ball he’s pretty average.

 

[rabbikeane]

Stats sites have him as 24-25th best player in Premier League this season.
Chelsea's best with only 3-4 (depending if they count Maddison) better Spurs players (Maddison, Son, Porro, Romero).

He’s definitely not a better footballer. He’s a hard working player, technically he’s no where near Gio.
Gallagher gets no where near our first team when everyone is fit.
Struggling? How did we struggle? He went to villareal with ease and Emery wanted him at villa for a reason. He played ina team getting to the semi finals of the champions league and was the main reason they beat Bayern in the quarters.
How many times have you watched Gallagher? Because he is another technically limited hard working English midfielder.
Barca want Gio for a reason

Based upon what? He’s doing that for his boyhood club whereas Gio wasn’t wanted my dinosaur negative managers.

Agree with all of these points but I think once we are back in Europe then he’d be a really valuable squad player.

 

[Adam456]

This whole GLC Vs Gallagher debate is really quite moot. CG is a better player than PEH who we want to sell (coverage permitting). Not Lo Celso who we don't.

If we can find another club for Skipp or perhaps another loan that gives him regular football then that's a bonus and frees up another space. Though he is the least of our worries as he's relatively cheap and is a really good pro

 

[Nebby]

Chelsea won’t sell Gallagher to us.

 

[npearl4spurs]

Can anyone help us justify with some more information how we would get the Palace version of him rather than the Chelsea version? The only way this makes sense is if we get that one which I suspect there's a chance with a change in system and dressing room. But I'm wondering if this is just wishful thinking rather than likely to happen based on facts...

It's not a factual subject so we can't do that.

I watched a fair amount of him at Palace and his position and playing style, in my opinion, would suit how Ange gets the central midfielders playing.

Chelsea just bung their players in without too much of a plan. They change manager all the time and any number of talented players have failed there.

This is all just opinion and analysis, but as its subjective and predictive that's all we can offer.

Well when I say facts I’m talking about a heat map or touch map of Palace vs Chelsea. I’m talking about touches in opposition half or opposition box or progressive carries or passes or shots and the like. Some analysis such as that which we typically get and is typically available to give us an indication if there is something transferable from his time at Palace to us. Just haven’t had the time to dig for myself yet and wondering if anyone has more merit to their position about extrapolating his time there to success with us

Not for me mate, Gallagher is Chelsea's best player only because the rest of them are shite.
He got nowhere near the technical ability or vision of Gio.
Just because Lo Celso hasn't really worked out for us, that doesn't make Gallagher a better player at all.

And yet Gallagher wouldn’t make the Argentina squad! Gallagher doesn’t make our first 11 when everyone is fit. We’ll disagree but GLC is a clear distance ahead of Gallagher as a footballer, Gallagher is what he is, a willing runner with a good engine.

 

[Nick-TopSpursMan]

£50m for Gallagher, they’re having a laugh. What a waste of resources that would be. Far better off signing a young 6 with high potential and then using most of our funds to sign a quality backup CB and starting level winger.

 

[Ghost Hardware]

Not worth near that imo

 

[Japhet]

I'll be seriously pissed off if we spend the type of money quoted for Gallagher and then say Todibo or Babayoko were too dear for us. We're stacked in midfield and have much bigger fish to fry.
