Shak Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Haven't seen much of Gallagher but is he the type of player we need? Think what we need is someone with a bit of quality in the final third, a player who can pick a pass or unlock a defense. The few times I've seen Gallagher he looks like he'd fit into our high press style really well but would be really help with that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The few times I've seen Gallagher he looks like he'd fit into our high press style really well but would be really help with that? I think common consensus is that we need a playmaker like Maddison and a DM, of some description. The issue, as I see it, is that we won't go for any long term top targets on these positions until the summer because its an easier window to do deals in. Therefore, we are likely to look for a player who can add squad depth, but not without quality. Gallagher would be a bit like Longstaff but with more end product. A one for the future but not a ready-to-go star like Maddison or Neves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Billing has 18 months left on his contract, so would still command a big fee. Billing in talks with Valencia supposedly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattypnufc Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Thankfully the flex we have with Bruno I absolutely feel he can play further forward with someone more traditional cdm. The worry is if bruno picks up a knock. At least Shelvey has capacity to pick a killer pass every so often. A replacement has to be of similar ilk imo. Creative.

STM Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 (edited) Perhaps we are missing something really obvious. Do we just go back in for Franca and make the deal work? Edit: We could take him on loan and that would get rid of the formalities until the summer. Edited January 29, 2023 by STM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbo Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I don't see us hijacking any deal. Either we're in for him already or we're not, anyone we go for we will be a long term target. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ste Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Jorginho is fine if you want someone to play it sideways and back and help organise others, I can’t see Howe wanting him at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
