So your mate should be able to tell us more info than anyone, skybet now we are 16/1 to sign Gallagher. West Ham spending over £100 million again courtesy of us tax payers. £2.5 million a year to rent that stadium is a joke, so if they get far in the cups or Europe all of that money they keep, it's a flat rate every year.
Great business from West Ham with the stadium others could have tried going after it and didn't. They can spend because of how much comes in take a look at the list for clubs and how much comes into them West Ham is in top 20 in the world and also look at how much they spend in wages Moyes has done very well they are not like us who was spending 90%+ of incoming on wages. Stadium has nothing to do with how well you do in cup or europe

The owners of the stadium and Mps in Parliament have already questioned why the club didn't have a percentage fee regarding Cup competitions, the rent is for premier league fixtures only. If you are so pro the spammers (who I detest) then feel free to support them in your miserable way.

This is about Gallagher not your hate for West Spam or Johnson. West Ham has done nothing wrong you need to go and read the documents see who was involved in the deal moan about them. It was very good business if this was Palace you would be praising them I would too. As I said before crybaby still going on about it when the deal was signed almost decade ago.

You feel that strongly about them, go and support them, I've read the reports, I know what my taxes I had to pay because of them, where do you live? Did you contribute? Or are you based in Thailand, if so explains all, you just carry on streaming our football, free of charge, whilst our country is on its knees.

Get up off your kness you cant be that desperate you need to be on them servicing for some extra £ you said you pay lots of tax that service I don't expect is declared.

Spurs did. Maybe Karen Brady being buddies with Cameron had something to do with the deal, which absolutely stinks.

Will people stop talking about Wet Spam, nothing to do with price of fish. I have the feeling Gallagher may be en route to Everton but that is a hunch not an informed assertion by any stretch of the imagination. At the risk of facing Willo’s proverbial ‘shot and shell’ I dare to suggest wherever Gallagher ends up it will prove a far less successful venture than he enjoyed with us last year, even if it is with us. He looked massively out of his league in that Chelsea side. I would also dare to suggest should Eze build upon his promising return, a considerable sum (which Chelsea will undoubtedly demand) for Gallagher may be better spent elsewhere. He was very much a ‘poster boy’ for some of our success last year and I, for one, very much appreciated it, a real injection of life into the team with a few goals in him. To keep that form up consistently for an extended period of time however, I would suggest to be nigh impossible. At this point, you could train a canine to charge around the pitch fouling people. ‘Twas a successful and very much appreciated ’stint’ however the style of football Pat is cultivating here, plus the question over Gallagher’s consistency and ability to improve, lead me to say thank you Conor however we’re moving on. Maybe a bit harsh on him - I'd have him back but for one reservation; the looming spectre of Sakho. Great loan period, excitement at signing then...

I will never deny anyone the right to argue against me on football matters teddy or equally prove me wrong, in fact I’d suggest I provide ample opportunity for anyone to do so! Not asserting it as ‘fact’ or a delusional belief I am absolutely right just my ‘gut’ feeling of course which is somewhat aligned to the ‘Sakho experience’. Just get the feeling some romanticise about CG far too much and any reality will never meet that expectation. I wish him all the best and thank him for his service and whilst I would not discourage his return I just don’t have many eggs in that particular basket, he’s a good little player for sure but don’t hold him in anywhere near the high esteems I’ve done with the likes of AJ, Speroni, Ambrose, Dann or Wilf to name some more recent players pivotal/critical to the team. There are times when I admit I’d like that tenacity and energy to disrupt the opposition’s play and win balls up the pitch etc but is not my preferred ideal of football, if that makes any sense?
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

I always said that his style of play wouldn’t suit Chelsea and your comment that he looked out of his league against Leeds was spot on. He looked like a rabbit in the headlights for much of the time he was on. I honestly can’t see that changing.

If we play 4-4-2 then there is room for CG in the side. If we play 4-3-3 then CG would likely be at the expense of Doucoure or Eze and I can’t see that happening. CG is an aggressive up front midfielder who likes to disrupt teams who play out from the back. He was like a fish out of water playing deeper for Chelsea so for the same reason, we don’t want him as a defensive midfielder in our team. I think PV prefers to play 3 up top so maybe, CG doesn’t fit our system moving forward. If we are to get the best out of Eze then he needs a free role in midfield and the only way we can do that is to ensure we have two strong and probably defensive minded midfielders around him. That’s just my reading of it, but I think £35m (if that is the number) could be better spent elsewhere. Was exactly my thinking. Again, wouldn't say 'no' to his return but I don't think I am as keen or it is as high a priority in my mind than others.
