This was last night. to be fair in these kind of situations he's hardly go to say? " ****' enzo who?" never heard of him mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody1000 Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Perhaps this is Unai’s way of reducing the number of shots that we’re facing? I appreciate that what a midfield with Gallagher and potentially no Dougie loses in creativity, it gains in athleticism and work rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 I'm pretty sure Gallagher will actively not want to come here from Chelsea. It'll have to be Chelsea pushing him out the door. Which is what they might do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he's thrilled about leaving his boyhood club that he's captain of just to help meet PSR rules, especially when those rules are disappearing after next season anyway, but on the other hand his departure has been so widely trailed (for about six months intensively, and a year or so in general) that he's probably very resigned to it at this stage. It could be worse than getting to play in the Champions League next season and being managed by Emery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably like when Grealish left us to go to Man City, Gallagher will want to leave Chelsea for the bigger club in Villa 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Monchi could swing something cheaper If they need 50 to meet PSR and we need (for example) 40 then we just both agree to pay those fees for CG and JD. Neither fee is outside the bounds of reality so it sorts out both parties problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted June 4 VT Supporter Share Posted June 4 On 01/06/2024 at 16:18, Leeroy said: Chilwell was fit for the tournament, he just decided not to take him. James had missed most of the season but was in theory fit and available for selection. Not too dissimilar to Guehi who missed pretty much all of the second half of the season and still was selected and he plays for mid table Crystal Palace. And your final sentence is explained because Tielemans is a class player and Belgium are still one of the best teams in Europe, even if they aren’t as good as a few years ago. They flopped at the World Cup but so did Germany. My point was more around Villa expecting to sign players that start for England, regardless of the strength or weakness of the position that player plays. We haven’t had a guaranteed starter for England since the playing days of Southgate himself, maybe Gareth Barry at a push, but he’d joined City by the time of 2010 World Cup when he was a regular at a major tournament. Back to the point, I’d be happy to sign Gallagher but I think there are more urgent positions we should strengthen first so I’m not fussed either way really. I just don’t want him as a direct replacement if we sell Luiz because that would be a dumb move. Are you honestly suggesting Reece James wouldn’t be in the England squad if he had been playing and/or was fully fit? Hes one of the best fullbacks in the world. He just can’t stay fit for more than 5 minutes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably because James is so injury prone that he wasn't taken, because he hasn't been able to stay fit for more than 5 minutes the last year or 2. I agree he is a world class full back when fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically lose our ability to retain possession under pressure, especially if Kamara is not playing. Gallagher is more of a McGinn replacement, and I wouldn't even be happy with that.
