Zaha for Gallagher yes or no?


Palacesince64 Flag Edinburgh 19 May 22 11.23pm

By now the Gooners must realise they made a big mistake taking Pepe rather than Zaha. If they come sniffing around and offering say 50 million and Chelski decide to put Gallagher on the market for say 50 million what would you do?

Keep dreaming Wilf is not even worth 20m.

Pepe is young I would take him over Wilf.

Gallagher and Wilf are not the same type of player.

Lets say your fantasy plays out as you described 50m for Wilf (did you forget United get 25-30%) I would not pay 50m for Gallagher we could use 50m to purchase a few players which would be more beneficial for the squad.

Yes, Gallagher for Wilf every day of the week.

Better all round player, much younger, a better professional, a nicer more humble human being.

Gallagher has been bang average for half a season. Not a chance

No he hasn't...just hasn't quite met the insane standards he set for himself in the first half. At that point he was super human.
In the second half, he's just been 'good'. Hardly bang average.

Better player than Wilf in almost every department except for maybe skill/footwork.

I hope neither are at the club next season, Gallagher because he will never be our player, and Wilf, if he lets his contract run out he wont put 100% in, and if he signs a new contract he will think his retirement has started already, get what we can and replace, Plange can play LW, whether he is good enough i don't know.

Or is it that his strengths (boundless energy) don’t seem to fit so well when you feed in the silky qualities of Eze. The better Eze has got, the less we have seen of Gallagher.
Eze is our player and we should be building around our players.
With Gallagher gone, we should continue our rebuild of l this season.
Milo is going. Lose Benteke d finitely. His time is up at PL level. He has to go for his sake and ours.

Unfortunately Wilf has become a target and reacts. If we can get a sensible fee I think we should cas in and let him go. Along with Milo, CB to ease the wage bill. Last night showed how fragile we still are in midfield. Defensive midfielder is a priority. CG I would love to see him here but his form has dropped off recently and a choice needs to be made whether to Perdue or not. We will probably beat Utd Sunday with Wilf and CG scoring.

Not in a million years. Wilf is still our most dangerous player.

Gallagher is a little overrated I feel, but It would be nice to see him back next season.

He is also our highest paid on £130,000.00 a week,taking that into account it's Gallagher for me on £60,000.00 a week saving £3.64 million annually plus less bonus,insurance etc.

CGs performance dropped off at the end of last season too. He’s also second in the most yellow cards table.

No.

Zaha is consistently being written off by some on here.

If he stays, he'll prove you wrong again.

Gallagher could get another season on loan with us. His recent performances suggest he will get no further than the bench at Chelsea.

Couldn't agree more

 


Living down here does have some advantages. At least you can see them cry.

Time to say ‘thanks for your service Conor’. Best of luck with the rest of your career. And then move on….

Easier said than done at over 120,000 per week. His extension is probably the worst bit of business done by the club in recent years

Most of the replies here debate perfectly sensible points but I'll eschew doing that. If the question is simply Zaha for Gallagher, take it or leave it with no further explanation needed, it's a yes from me. I'd do the deal in a heartbeat.

 


Sydenham by birth. Selhurst by the Grace of God.

Wilbraham413 Flag 23 May 22 4.01am

Hell, no.

Zaha is a supremely skilled player, capable of winning matches on his own, through goals or assists. And he does that often. Case in point, today's match. He can make something out of nothing, or set up someone else to score.

Gallagher tries hard, but what has he done over the past few months? Throw out the first couple months of the season, and he's made very little impact since then.

He's a likeable, try-hard player, but grossly over-rated after his amazing start for us. The last couple months have shown why he hasn't stuck for Chelsea yet.

I wish him all the best going forward, because he was great loan player this season. Chelsea will be ready to sell him sooner or later, and maybe we can buy him for a fair price then.

CT Charlie Flag 25 May 22 7.15pm

Until we find a striker better than what we've seen of Benteke, Edouard, or Mateta, we'd be crazy to say goodbye to Wilf. The challenge is what to do about his contract.

Gallagher, while energetic and truly valuable to us, simply won't produce the goals that Wilf produces, and we need to score.
