Not got close to that since. But importantly he is mint at football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Tuchel hasn't got a tune out of any Chelsea forward. I would be happy with him on loan with a view to making it permanent though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmesy Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I can potentially see us signing one Chelsea player permanently, with a favourable payment structure due to Staveley's good relationship with them, and one on loan. Two from Hudson-Odoi, Pulisic, Gallacher, Broja would be ideal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a squad and 5 quality subs regularly. Have always liked Pulisic. My only concern is wether he has the fitness issues similar of Michael Owen after playing so much so young. Scary that he’s only 23 as seems to of been around for ages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't hold your breath on him actually being available, given Man U's current recruitment strategy seems to involve floating ideas on Twitter and deciding what to do based on how people react to them.

We don't know what Chelsea's price is yet. Kante may well be injured but Chelsea are not being hesitant about going for more signings this summer, and so they would just go and replace him and Gallagher if they sold him. They are pretty strong on home grown quotas regardless with the likes of Mount, James, Loftus-Cheek, Chalobah, Sterling, CHO etc. As far as Gallagher being a starter after a few years, apparently he's eager to push forward after his loan last year that saw him get into the England team, and he wants to push for a World Cup place. Can't see him going from that to sitting around for two years, while Chelsea continue to recruit flashy names from all and sundry. I think we'll be in with a good chance tbh. The rumoured bid from us of £40 million would be a very strong offer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'll take at least £55m for Chelsea to entertain us for Gallagher. (based on nothing but a hunch) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Zaius Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 What worries me is that none of our supposed targets seem all that realistic. Diaby, Maddison and now Pulisic. None of them feel achievable, either through lack of player interest or through us not being able to agree a fee. Just over two weeks left and we really need attacking options if we are to kick on this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannot see Chelsea asking that for Gallagher at all. Chelsea typically tend to let players they aren't intent on keeping leave for fairly reasonable prices. Tomori left for around £25million last summer and Abraham for around £35 million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
