Beth Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 (edited) 3 hours ago, gjohnson said: Gallagher would be a massive upgrade on Longstaff so should be a no brainer if available for a respectable fee(which won't happen if we're involved) When all are fit we already have 7 CMs fighting over 3 places. CM is the last place we need to buy for in the summer. Yes Gallagher is an upgrade on Longstaff but we'd have to pay at least four times the fee we'd get for him.

He’d slot into our midfield well but with Tonali coming back, Willock hopefully back to full fitness next season, Anderson is going to get better and Joelinton has resigned I just don’t see the need. In the event of a Bruno sale there’d obviously have to be a restructure a bit but even then I couldn’t see Gallagher coming in. Our transfer funds will go heavily towards CB, striker, winger and possibly a starting LB too. Edited April 19 by ExiledGeordie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Gallagher would be such a poor use of our limited resources. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I think that the footballing profile of Gallagher is very similar to both Bruno and Sandro. In terms of determination and leadership he’s probably equal to Bruno (can’t say yet for Sandro). If we were losing one of those then Gallagher would be worth considering as a replacement.

The Butcher Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Gallagher is closer to Longstaff than Bruno imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmesy Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Gallagher is one of the league's best pressers and consistently covers more ground in PL games than any other player. If we are after him, I suspect that's why. Very underwhelming signing if true, but there will be method to the madness Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I don’t think we buy a CM this summer unless one leaves. When fit and not banned we are well stocked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abacus Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 The rumours about Gallagher seem too persistent for there not to be something in them. He does seem a good character and, having learnt from doubting Gordon, I'm prepared to wait and see on this one if he comes in. Yes, there are other positions I'd like recruited first, but I'm guessing there are a range of options and combinations we're thinking of depending on where we finish and whether we're in some sort of European football or not. Either way, better than waiting till the last day of the window with no rumours at all and then half-heartedly scuffling about for some sort of loan deal we don't even get, like we used to do.

Mattoon Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Can only think Gallagher would be a Longstaff upgrade without losing the home grown talent number. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Butcher Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 We need more technical players mind. We've enough limited runners. No thank you to Gallagher. Would've been a good signing 12-18 months ago, but not now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 (edited) I'm all aboard wanting MGW like, think he's a good mix of adding technical quality but having the physical profile that is perfect for Howe. Could see him stepping up a level like Gordon has. I'm thinking he'd play wide right rather than in midfield 3, like would have been the case if we'd got Maddison.

Geogaddi Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I think Gallagher would be a decent squad player, either way he's definitely a significant upgrade on Longstaff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I've always maintained Tonali is the Longstaff replacement. We don't have a progressive passer to replace Bruno and Gallagher is not him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickMack Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 There’s no way Gallagher is even an upgrade on longstaff, he seems very much a headless chicken with a first touch like a shot. But if Howe wanted him …. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
