PatrickA London 01 Sep 22 5.43pm
As good as he is, Eze is not a Gallagher replacement. They have very different skill sets. Eze is an elegant runner with the ball who glides over the pitch and who seems to dribble past players effortlessly. Gallagher is a dynamic player who specialises in running into channels, pressing defenders and getting into the penalty area. Whether it’s Gallagher or not we’re after the current balance in midfield does not look right and , in my view it’s McArthur and not Gallagher who needs replacing. No easy task to find such a player who can perform all the midfield roles with such energy, commitment and skill.

Hoping against hope we bag a midfield general which is essential if we are to progress but, like a reliable RB or a striker, they are like gold dust. All very well to recruit promising youngsters from lower divisions as a long term investment but we need 'up and running' PL calibre players.

I think many of us saw this coming. The grabbing of good deals on deadline day seems to have stopped years ago. Too often the dominoes don’t fall and clubs don’t replace players. We should have had a Benteke replacement lined up for the next day and similarly we should have done the same for a midfielder. Looking at how the Premier League looks this year, we could easily be in for a relegation struggle. The promising window last summer has not been built on.

Originally posted by Cucking Funt Has anyone signed yet? I’m surprised we haven’t signed Aouar, he is apparently available for £13m and appears on the face of it to be exactly the sort of player we need. I hope that at the end of the window they don’t turn around and say, “we were holding back our money in case Chelsea agreed to sell us Gallagher for £25-£30m” in the knowledge it was unlikely to happen anyway.

I've been saying this all along since the rumour came out that we were interested. He's a great player with high potential at a reasonable price. He would be the ideal signing. FEELING GLAD ALL OVER

It’s not looking good, there is the Edwards rumour, but if we did go in early on him, why wait till now to try again? We need two , outside of Edwards anyway , the governor knows it ,and it’s disappointing if only because virtually every body in the division have loaded up for five subs, and we want to stand still. The Gallagher situation alone is surprising he was our player of the year, had a great effect on us as a team, if we had sold such a player we would have wanted him replaced, so why isn’t he replaced?

Surprised we didn’t try and go for Sterling on loan. His stock has fallen somewhat and he’s not really hit the ground running at Chelsea. Shame our owners are so short sighted!

Agree. I liked the thought of Aouar and Gilmore, gives the midfield depth and different dimensions.
