Originally posted by roman eagle I'm not sure CG would actually be in the starting line-up for us now. Doucore is a better all-round player IMO and what I think we need is a replacement for Kouyate - a solid CDM who can sit in front of the back four. Luka at his best can do that but not sure he's got the legs for 90 mins anymore. Schlupp has many good qualities but he's not a CDM Here's a thought. May not be a sensible one but it did occur to me while thinking about it. How about playing Andersen as CDM? We now have Richards to partner with Guehi at CH. Andersen can certainly sit, tackle, and break up play. And he's arguably the best passer of the deep ball in the team. He has most, if not all, of the qualities required to be a CDM and free up Doucoure to push further forward. Like I said, just a thought but if we're not going to bring in a CDM, might he not be a better option than Luka or Schlupp? I'm on the fence but strikes me as worth considering. Sydenham by birth.

He's been a standout player in the backline this season so personally I think it would be madness. Also, despite his passing range he does look and play like a centre-back, being big, strong, but a bit slow. I don't think he fits the profile of a modern day central midfielder and he wouldn't get the same time on the ball to pick his passes. The lack of pace is what seems to have killed Luka too. In contrast Schlupp is really quick and can get about the pitch, even if his passing is not always the best. I don't think we should be squeezing square pegs into round holes unless we're desperate, let's just try and get those round pegs!

The game is too fast now. 10 years ago this was the sort of thing you could do. But being a good passer as a CB, is exactly that. Limited pressure on the ball, always facing play. He can take his time and pick a pass.

But given Eze has nicked his position I don't think he'd hit the heights he hit last season. But a midfield of Doucore, Exe, Gallagher > Doucore, Exe, Schlupp I can only hope that if we are holding off getting other targets (in case he becomes available) we manage to land him.

Limited pressure on the ball, always facing play. He can take his time and pick a pass. Agree. He likes to knock out the long ball from the back, as mentioned, under little pressure (they still are fantastic not knocking that). Playing DM you have to be more mobile and cover more ground (he is and most certainly would not) plus you need to play the ball quickly and a lot shorter too, a very different scenario from those 'quaterback' ones. Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

doombear Too far from Selhurst Park 24 Aug 22 10.32am
Originally posted by 2424 Makes sense for Everton to ask for CG on loan as part of a Gordon move. I think that's the way he's now headed sadly. Sadly yes, although the rumour is that Everton want either CG or Broja on loan as part of a Gordon deal. I suggest their need for a CF is greater. If, though, CG does go to them, he'll be back doing a Baggies job in an attempt to avoid relegation (hopefully unsuccessfully).

The Dolphin 24 Aug 22 11.54am
If Gallagher gets them Gordon then he will go to Everton on loan - simple as that. The only fly in that ointment is if Chelsea decide to sell him rather than loan him. He will fetch a good price and it is possible that Everton won't be allowed to buy him due to FFP. I would be delighted to have him back with us but I doubt very much that it will happen.

Did it with the Brighton deal and Colwill so suspect that could be on the cards. Whoever goes, him or Broja, would probably walk into the Everton line up and definitely get more game time than at Chelski. “ [T]here are known knowns; there are things we know that we know.There are known unknowns; that is to say there are things that, we now know we don't know.But there are also unknown unknowns – there are things we do not know we don't know. ” —United States Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld

Is that relevant though as our very own Wilfried Zaha and his whole family supported Arsenal. Conor Gallagher knows what it's like to play for a struggling team as he spent a season helping West Brom get relegated and he isn't likely to want to repeat the experience, especially when his supposed hero Frank Lampard is rumoured to be one of the first managers to get the chop this season.

In terms of transfer activity they have paid around £53 Mill and received circa £60 Mill for Richarlison. They already have 1 PL on loan, Conor Coady from Wolves.Only 2 can be loaned at any one time.
