Originally posted by Palace Passion With Caicedo and Lavia both going to Chelsea and Ward-Prowse going to Wet Spam, surely we have a great chance now to sign Gallagher? Especially as Chelski have about 300 midfielders now... You don't give up do you Passion, having started the Gallagher thread in the first place? The question has been asked several times and I don't seem to have seen your answer, so whose place is Gallagher going to take if he comes? -Eze's? -Doucoure's? -Lerma's? Personally, I wouldn't want him replacing any of them. Lerma and Doucoure look like they'll make a formidable double pivot allowing Eze to play further up the pitch as a free spirit. And I wouldn't want to move Eze wide out left to accommodate Gallagher. Edited by doombear (14 Aug 2023 8.28pm)

As good as Conor was for a lot of his stay he doesn't seem to have attracted much interest from other clubs. Apart from WHam and they're keen on anyone who could recognise a football let alone kick one.

Just looked like Gallagher fitted well for us - good all round but biggest quality workrate. He just may not fit in at Chelsea but they haven't let him go so obviously recognise something. However, it's not our main concern as we're ok in central midfield. Probably above average in the league. It's obviously other positions that drag us down. I think wide players currently our biggest issue. Followed by lack of full backs and striker. Red and Blue Army!

I make you right there AS. So many players are being touted at prices that are bafflingly high - It’s nuts and is making Lerma on a free look like a very shrewd acquisition. Dougie knows what he’s doing and I guess he’ll unearth a couple of gems before the window slams shut.

I would take CG back in a heartbeat. He was absolutely wonderful for us and we need options in the middle of the field over the whole season. He can also push forward as a supporting striker if need be. Use Olise as leverage to get him if at all possible. The beatings will stop when morale improves.

Originally posted by Lanzo-Ad No, he wasn't wonderful for us, very good first half of the season, woeful second half of season. Agree Lanzo. I loved everything about him when he first came here, but didn't impress much the other day, a few decent spells, although a tad too much of his old headless chicken routine. We've moved on. He's Chelsea and no longer right for us. Forget him. Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

taylors lovechild 15 Aug 23 8.34am
CG's energy was key to our success in Vieira's first season. There are few players who seem to have the energy he has and he was great at bursting into the box. When he was moved to a deeper role he struggled. At Chelsea they keep playing him in that role which he is not suited to. Play him as a number 8 and he'll get at least 10 goals a season and will be great. With Caicedo signing I think Gallagher will either be given more freedom to play higher up the pitch and will thrive or he'll be benched. If it's the latter it might be West Ham or someone come in with a late bid. He's not coming back to us though.

Edited by dreamwaverider (15 Aug 2023 8.08am) Apologies but Chelsea's approach is the opposite of Moneyball which is where clubs without as much money use advanced analytics on players' stats to find cheaper options. It started in baseball with the Oakland Athletics and was quite successful until the rich clubs started using it as well as being able to sign the star players.

I thought the whole 'Moneyball' thing was based upon getting unnoticed, high performing players cheap? Chelsea seem intent on just spending whatever money to buy every player they can, most notably the favourite or high profile players at other clubs, and stockpiling them like Cold War ammunition. Unless of course we are using 'Moneyball' as a reference to Chelsea just relying purely upon finance? Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!
