The Prophet Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Gallagher would be a decent buy, but £40 million is too steep. Loads of talent, but he's coming off the back of a below par season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BonesJones Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Haha I don't think there's many players that wouldn't win a vote against McT, especially if that vote is taking place on NO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 (edited) Genuinely think that Arda Guler is good enough to start for us next season. Very mature at everything he does and can handle the pressure. I'd be very content with him coming in as our right sided option. Can play centrally too. Please happen! His talent is just too much to not succeed. Would also leave us with a lot of money for other positions. Edited May 31, 2023 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Gallagher is only 23. He's had a very good season playing regularly at Palace, then a bit-part season, followed by a disappointing one at a dysfunctional Chelsea. At Palace he showed all the hallmarks of an Eddie Howe number eight. He grafts, he's aggressive and he finished the season with eight goals and five assists. Given he has regressed in his time at Chelsea, the prices quoted are too much, but there is a player in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDT Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Don't rate Gallacher much and it also helps Chelsea out of a financial hole so for both reasons it's a no from me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Don't want Gallagher, he doesn't have a fancy foreign name and he hasn't done it in a shite league so obviously it's good enough. Tells you alot about the modern football fan: This Turkish kid has a few fancy highlights on YouTube... obviously the next Modric. Gallagher, had a genuinely class season in the hardest league in the world at the age of 21/22... na he's shite. Can we not be sensible for one minute.

Can't talk for everyone else but i've followed Arda Guler very closely. Unless he has some sort of unexpected mental breakdown or any serious injuries or something similar then he will be one of the best around in the not too distant future. I'm absolutely 100% certain about this. Obviously unexpected things can happen in football. He is a generational talent that plays football years ahead of his age.

WilliamPS Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 If people want 4+ players then that means bringing in players at different ability levels. Gallagher is a good player, comfortable in the PL. £40m is too much but for the right price (£25m) he would be a great addition. Also people need to move past thinking about 11 players what a starting line up is and think in terms of the 16-18 player squad who rotate through the season. If you look at City and Liverpool in previous seasons the team is never static, that doesn’t work with PL plus Europe. Arsenal tried it this season and burnt out by the end Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guler is 18, seen as a generational talent for his country and regularly starring for his club & according to reports would cost less than £10m. Gallagher is 5 years older, had a very good half a season in the league a couple of years ago and would cost £40m & probably about £100k per a week in wages whilst also helping one of our rivals out of a financial mess. If we were to spend £40m on three players this window there's no way I want one of those to be Gallagher. Edited May 31, 2023 by KDT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Edgar Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Can we put the Turkish strawman to one side? Gallagher or McTominay would probably be fine to bolster our midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

clintdempsey Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I don't like Gallagher. Sure, he's an OK player who would probably fit in well in a Eddie Howe team. For me though he's an unlikeable character and I don't want to destroy our likeability as a team and group of players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, most players are unlikeable until they play for us , especially when they play for so called big six teams Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sushimonster85 Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Granted it's not a 'blow your socks of signing' but Gallagher would be good addition to the side. Assuming Eddie can get the best out of him, which he has a track record of doing, I think he could be real force. People seem to forget just how good he was in that loan spell at Palace. It's been rough going for him at Chelsea, but it's hard to really know what to make of that given how much of a basket case that club is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Gallagher will cost the same or more than Ward prowse, I know which one of those has played more and at a consistent level over quite a few years... The price point for the Turkish lad looks just too good to miss out on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
