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. Edited by Willo (07 Sep 2022 2.49pm) Currently, you're probably right. May have found his level with us - or just suited our system much better. Watching England recently has been like watching a Roy team - not Gallagher's style. He's in your face, going forward, not holding and passing sideways until there is an overlap.

We will probably start to get an idea of what is in Graham Potters head (team shape & players) when we meet CFC on the 1st -

Certainly a possibility - Originally posted by Therealeaglestilidie

J think we can lovingly kiss goodbye to Conor with Harry Potter's arrival at CFC. He'll prove himself and may thrive in a new and different set up and, if loans come around at all, HP might not appreciate him going to the SE25 Old Enemy again... I can't believe Graham Potter would be influenced one jot by consideration of an artificially confected "rivalry". He will do what's best for him and Chelsea - and rightly so.

be that as it may - if there is a choice of loaning a player like CG to either Palace or Brighton and he has the opportunity of doing Brighton a solid by doing so then the player isn't coming to us - Originally posted by JRW2

On a positive ( for Palace ) note, if we are still interested in CG come January, I think his valuation is likely to be well below the silly money talked about last season. You feel it will have to take something quite unexpected and spectacular for CG's Chelsea career to take off between now and January NEILLO, I've been pondering similar thoughts!
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

I just spotted Patrick at the Chelsea game last night. Maybe looking at Conor maybe someone from salsburg or maybe just taking in a game . who knows .

Might be the fact that all our games are now being called off for a selection of feeble reasons and he just wanted to watch some football and maybe play 'fantasy manager' in lieu of our transfer activity ceasing to exist. Maybe he just misses watching Conor's hair bounce in the wind? Who knows!

Potter's a smart, english manager who I believe will value good, honest, hardworking players. I can see Gallagher being a Potter favourite - I'd say he'll be a regular in the side soon. Disagree completely, he is nowhere near technically gifted enough for Potter, he will either be sold or loaned in January.

Hasn't made the England squad.
Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

Hasn't made the England squad. Hi POG , Yes i was expecting that . He has had a bad dip in form since going back to Pottsea . Getting sent off didnt help either . Come home Conor where you are adored by the faithful .
