Almost always a judgment on his binge drinking.  None of us really know whether it has any real effect on his performance.  He looks in decent enough condition to me, I suspect his lacklustre (if you can really call it that) time at City is largely a tactical thing.  I'd definitely take him on loan.

None of us know, but there aren't many players who are binge drinkers and still at the top level in their 30s. It's certainly more likely than not that it will come back to bite him in the next few years if he doesn't calm down.

What the hell.  I assume this is really old news that has somehow resurfaced?

I think it’s highlighting the fact that A.Madrid have agreed a €40m for him now and the disparity.

i do not believe for one second, that we had agreed in any way to pay £57m for Gallagher, with one year left on his contract.

what a load of tosh.

I agree, nothing from Monchi’s dealings so far suggest we’d massively overpay like that

Unless they agreed to pay mega money for Duran too and later backed out?

I reckon it was a PSR dodgy as we’d sell them a player overinflated so that’s why I wouldn’t dismiss it so quickly just Conor screwed it up by not wanting to come to us.  Maybe that was the Conor/Duran swap (separate deals for PSR) that was speculated so much but didn’t happen.

It's resurfaced because Atletico are about to sign him for significantly less - around £35m.

Couldn't it just mean that's what Chelsea were demanding? not that we were anywhere near matching it

We were trying to cook the books for PSR.

So:

Villa - how much for Gallagher?
Chelsea - £57m
Villa - OK, ta'ra

More like: “We give you £57m for Gallagher and you give us £45m for Duran and both our PSR issues are solved for another season”

Would people prefer grealish or felix ?

Is there an option C for neither?

How about a grealix?

[rubberman]

While I have doubts about felix, he covers the gap we have. Grealish doesn't. 

[Tommo_b]

If Unai is looking for a player who can unlock a defence or win a free kick in a dangerous area… 

You couldn’t go to far wrong with bringing Grealish back, make him the maverick he used to be, would be beautiful to see with this team.
