ferguson1 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Perhaps us and Chelsea will continue this one after the Euros, so Gallagher can be discussed again? Didn’t Gallagher say that he only wanted to concentrate on England during the tournament? I still think something may happen involving both players in a week or two.

Zero reason to loan him with the number of games we have. When's he actually going to play though? Half of his goals were in the opening weeks when he was playing in the early Europa games. He isn't starting the CL equivalent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next step for him, a year older, is regularly getting the last 30 mins of games so Ollie can have a rest, starting in the FA Cup, League Cup etc. It’s his job to play his way into the team. Fine if you think he can’t do it, but it’s the same challenge any backup striker we have will face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 21 minutes ago, romavillan said: Both domestic cups for a start, and rotation in the league when the games come thick and fast Depends if we have a league cup run or it's just one game like last season. Think if I'm right we're playing in later part of August as there are no available midweek dates in September. He started the Everton cup game and was hauled off at half time. This was when he was in good form aswell. He didn't start a prem game for us until mid March despite all our games in the first half of the season. I can fully understand why he doesn't want another season like that and think Emery has informed him he's free to leave so something will happen in next two months but makes sense to get a replacement in first.

No guarantee he makes it but it’s mad with young players to expect the same one season to the next - at his age Kane was failing to score for Norwich but a year or two later had established himself for Spurs. This kid is miles ahead of most PL comparisons you could make with those just turned 20. He’s playing a perfectly reasonable amount of minutes for his age. HE might not think so, of course, which could be an issue in the end. But it’s up to him to break in. Or of course if he wants to leave and we want to bank £40m, that’s fine too!

He would argue scoring a few in the Europa league early last season and then that season turning goal v Palace was playing himself into the team. At that point Ollie hadn't scored in the league. As I've always suspected I think he felt he was going to start Chelsea away in September, it didn't happen and then Ollie scored and that kickstarted his season off and Duran was never going to get a sniff after given he's right behind one of the least injured CFs in World football. It would be different if say he was at Newcastle as Isak regularly picks up knocks. Everton would've actually been a decent move aswell with them selling Calvert Lewin. I'm still interested where he ends up, I just can't see him accepting another season like he's just had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post useless Posted June 23 Popular Post Share Posted June 23 I wonder if Everton might come in for him if Calvert-Lewin goes to Newastle, maybe we could do another swap, they get Duran and we Onana 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsieur Hazdazler Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 (edited) I wonder if Chelsea looking set to sign Guiu from Barcelona might mean they cool any interest in Duran, especially with it being Kellyman linked in with the Maatsen move Edited June 24 by Monsieur Hazdazler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
