Don't think he'd go anywhere he's not first choice. I’m sure Gallagher doesn’t look at either Joelinton or Tonali and think to himself that he has no chance of getting in the team in front of them.

I’ll never understand the under rating of Gallagher on here (not saying you do), he is a quality and very intelligent midfielder. He’d be incredible in our press.

A bunch of fans like to act like the guy is a big joke, just because he can look a bit awkward at times, but he really isn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 We won’t go near 200k yet, so yeah it is what is. That’s a great offer from Atleti. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weezertron Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 38 minutes ago, Mazzy said: That would change if Longstaff was sold though. Not that I think we will sell him, just that Gallagher would be the ideal replacement if we did. I'm not a PSR boffin, but would selling Longstaff for 10mill give us enough money to buy Gallagher for 40m? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Transfer fee plus contract, you’re looking at £90m+ for Gallagher. Meanwhile Isak’s agent will be telling him how much less he’s getting paid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Said it before but we are a team that presses and Gallagher is arguably the best pressing CM/AM in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll see. Best mates with Guehi, according to Steve Parish. I fully support our transformation into the super happy friends club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 I've grown to 'get' Gallagher like. Longstaff under Howe has shown me that you can have a pretty poor season but still bag yourself 8 goals in that role. So in that respect I get Howe's fetish for seemingly underwhelming players like Gallagher and McTominay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would not be starting games. He would therefore not agree to join if he is not starting games. It would be a squad player role to him, whether you like it or not.

TheBrownBottle Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 The only midfielder that we have that Gallagher wouldn't get a start ahead of is Bruno. But I doubt we'd go for him for the reasons stated by others (salary) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 I’m sorry but Tonali, JL and healthy willock are better than Gallagher. I’d have Longstaff and Miley over him too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
greydos Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 One of the first things that drew my attention to Lord Edward Howe was that he was doing well playing nice football in the premier league with Bournemouth, and Dan Gosling was a mainstay in his midfield. It blew my mind something so ordinary as Gosling could work in a decent team. Maybe Eddie just loves a functional midfielder! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never have him ahead of Tonali or Joelinton though. Tonali's profile seems to have taken a massive hit, he was the captain of AC Milan and Italy international before the ban.

He's had his dips and poor performances but I think a happy, confident, well coached Gallagher would be a very good player. He played really well for Poch the second half of last season. Probably finished it as their 2nd best player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if this was 2004 not 2024 then being AC Milan captain and an Italian international would be seriously impressive. It doesn't hold the same stock atm.

Chris_R Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 We should stay away from Chelsea players. Everyone should. You can't allow their model to succeed, which it will if people keep buying their castoffs for more than they paid for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
