Miggys First Goal Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Time's a-ticking. Would take Peter Odemwingie at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Would take any of those 3 Chelsea players as they’d all add something to our squad. Gallagher probably provides the most pressing need but Ziyech would be my preferred of the 3. Miggy surely can’t run all season like that and Murphy isn’t going to offer cutting-edge if you’re going to sustain a European push. Even Loftus-Cheek would be a good alternative to Longstaff.

He’s an absolutely massive Chelsea fan along with his dad. I know he had a loan spell at WBA but everything Ive heard about him via Chelsea fans screams he wouldn’t even move north of the M25 if he could avoid it and is extremely rooted in the south. As a player I’ve not been that impressed by him watching him against us and bits on TV last season and this. So admittedly limited amount. Heres his backstory for anyone interested. Very in-depth. https://lifebogger.com/conor-gallagher-childhood-biography-story-facts/ Love how everyone just totally ignores your post- for what it’s worth I think you’re right.

Nine Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 (edited) There’s alot to be had from Gallagher under our set up I think, I’d trust Howe to get the best from him. He’d be a pretty shrewd signing imo. Although id bet 99% of links this window are inaccurate. Edited January 16, 2023 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his second tweet, he says "Newcastle looking at Chelsea trio as they wait to see who is going surplus at Stamford Bridge". He has been entirely consistent. He thinks, but doesn't know for certain, that we will sign someone. He is now reporting that we are considering signing someone from Chelsea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Gallagher would be a no brainer for me. He's a Howe kind of player, his end product is good and he will only get better. The only question for me is would we want to bring in someone better than Gallagher for that role, which I wouldnt be averse to. Depends on our strategy. Ziyech is a lovely little player but he's not a presser, hard to see him fitting in to our off the ball play, despite his fantastic delivery. RLC nah ta.

Ziyech probably wont fit in to the Howe system and RLC is just an Everton signing in the making. Gallagher would be massive if we could get the same Gallagher that was on loan at Crystal Palace.

The Prophet Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I can't think why anyone would have an agenda against Edwards. Could it be openly admitting he enjoys winding up the fanbase? His brown nosing of Steve Bruce? His dog whistling? His generally inaccurate reporting? It's an absolute mystery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 1 hour ago, The Prophet said: Disagree, he's one of the best pressing midfielders in the country when he's on form. It's getting that consistency from him that's key. Absolutely, and he also scored goals and did show that consistency last season at Palace. More specifically in a midfield three as a number 8, which is how we'd use him. It's an absolute no brainer to take advantage of Chelsea's stupidity and steal some of their talented youth players off them, while their values are down. I'd also take Loftus-Cheek as an added versatile piece to have in the squad. Another who has been messed about by Chelsea. At various points I've seen this guy play on the left, as a number 10, as a number 8 and even at wing back. Chelsea have no idea of what they are doing. We should take full advantage.

Well, if you’re a functioning adult who can deal with nuance then you can dislike something a person has said or done but still concede to reality when they’ve said something completely accurate or fair on a different matter. I don’t think his reporting is generally inaccurate, for what it’s worth. The Bruce relationship and fan-goading were shit, yes; doesn’t mean you need to maintain an agenda. It’s amazing but people who do something you don’t like can also do something you’re ok with… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
