TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I rate Willock higher than Gallagher honestly, both great talents nonetheless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I am as convinced by Gallagher as I am Gordon. I'd take both, both will improve the team/squad but not convinced as I would be with someone like Maddison. They have both trended down the past year.

Pilko Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Feels like time is starting to run out a bit. I'm not saying we "have to" do anything in a given window but to leave it weaker than we started by losing Wood would be absolutely criminal given the position we're in tbh.

Mike Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I think Wood going is definitely proof that the wheels are turning behind the scenes. Hate having to wait this long but I think we'll sign at least 2 players this week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said I think we are still as a new ownership setting the stall out that we won't be taken for a ride by other clubs. This window again dictates how clubs see us and deal with us in the market going forward. I think they are quite prepared to present take it or leave it offers and wait until the windows end rather than be taken for a ride or be viewed as easy to hike prices up for. We want the best value we can get. Even if it ends up being fall back loans I think we will bring 1 or 2 in. I think the club is absolutely prepared to play the long game to get the club running on sound footing. It would seem counterintuitive on that front to let us slip from top 4 if we have a serious chance to get it and the benefits of CL that come with it.

I'm not sure why that's such a ludicrous thing to suggest. Ideally you'd want a younger player who'll go on to replace Schar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Brazilian press reporting we've had a third bid rejected for Franca. Our last offer was allegedly 18 million Euros with no sell-on clause. They want 20 million Euros plus a 50% sell-on clause. If correct, that feels like it could get done.

For a fair comparison also I’d love to see JW get some game time in advance central midfield. Miss his late bursts into the box. Feel like he’s a bit hamstrung playing so wide despite it obviously working for the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Since Ashley sold us and we now at least try, the thing that makes me most happy apart from Eddie Howe, committed players, professional staff behind the scenes and a united fan base, is the fact that professional fucking wind up merchant Luke Edwards knows nowt about what's going on and is left to feed on scraps like a worm Bruce left in a dump at the training ground. Sorry to put everyone off their teas but I just needed to get that off my chest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallagher scored 8 league goals last season for Palace, and they didn't play the most progressive style of football. He'd add goals to the team.

KaKa Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Seen Luiz Henrique of Real Betis linked ... 22 year old left footer that can play on the right and up front. His fbref profile looks very similar to Almiron's and both Almiron and Jack Harrison show up on his player comps on the same page.

Problem is he did that playing off the front man as an outright attacking midfielder with not as much defensive responsibility. As an 8 it hasn't quite been the same. In any case, if Gallagher comes in I would bring him in for Longstaff initially in the RCM role. Nothing against Longstaff in particular, as I appreciate all the things he adds, but I think Gallagher brings similar qualities, but with better speed, athleticism, ball carrying ability and goal scoring ability.
