Gallagher can either stagnate at Chelsea or shine at Palace. Southgate will also likely call him up to World Cup squad if he’s playing well for Palace which will further launch his career.
He really needs good advice for his agent and brothers at this critical time.
The beatings will stop when morale improves.

Just buy him and let chelsea have a buy back clause which would suit all parties!

May be slightly left of field but I think Everton might still be our main rivals, if he does go somewhere today.
Newcastle are pretty well covered in midfield so CG wouldn't necessarily get the guaranteed starting place he craves. Villa also have two similar players already in Buendia and Coutinho. West Ham have spent an absolute fortune so probably more of a loan rather a permanent move. Chelsea may just want the cash.
Everton on the other hand - not inconceivable he could form part of a swap deal with Gordon.
Everto have just bought Onana and Gueye to go alongside Allan, Docoure, Davies and Iwobi (who has been playing there recently).

Chelsea won't have any midfielders available if they let Gallagher go. This is not happening unless by some miracle Chelsea sign a midfielder or two, which doesn't seem on the cards.
Sadly, this is the most likely scenario. If they don't have enough fit midfielders right now they are not going to worry about us or CG and understandably so. We can still hope!

The Nazi Toilet Paper (Mail) is now saying Villa have approached Chelsea about Gallagher. I understand if Chelsea keep him, but I would be gutted if he went to another PL club.

I heard one theory that I thought sounded plausible. This was that Gallagher could join Palace on loan with Chelsea having a recall option in January. This would enable Gallagher to get immediate first team football to push for a World Cup place while not cutting his Chelsea ties. It helps Palace in the immediate term and allows for longer term planning in future windows. If Chelsea's current injuries are short term in nature and/or they bring in a midfielder, I could see this happening. You could argue it's a sticking plaster for Palace, but it's better than nothing.

I like that scenario. It seems to work well for all parties.
Chelsea obviously want him in World Cup squad and may see that more likely with more guaranteed Palace game time.

I hope that by putting all our transfer eggs in one basket we dont p*ss PV off. It is beginnibg to look likely we will sign nobody even though Pat has said we are short of at least two players.

I didn't realise that Daily Mail readers were socialists. Unless you mean that Nazi's use it as toilet paper because they don't like it.

The loan would be for the season with a recall option in January that would not necessarily be exercised. Gallagher has Mount, Jorghinho,Kante and Kovacic ahead of him whereas he walks straight into our team. He obviously wants a career at Chelsea and his future there may become clearer in January. For example Jorghino and Kante have contracts that expire at the end of the season and come January it should be clearer what their futures are. Gallagher coming here doesn't necessarily present a long term solution for Palace but it gets us over an immediate hurdle and may well appeal to all parties.

With Chelsea trying to loan a midfielder from Juventus, CG loan chance may go the last minute!

I’d be well happy if this suddenly happened , but can’t see it now. But regardless replacing him should have been top of the list and the fact that an alternative seems just as unlikely is even more of a disappointment to me..

I think if Potter takes the Chelsea job he will find a spot for Gallagher in the team which will suit him. If Poch or Zidane take it then we may have a chance

A chance for what, wasting 27m pounds

My honest opinion is that whilst of course I recognise the contribution he made to our club last season, I really do believe that Gallagher falls below the standard required by England and I have never believed that he would be selected for the World Cup.
I accept others will disagree but such variances of opinion are all part of the 'Rich tapestry' of HOL.
