Originally posted by palace chick I agree we do have a decent squad, however we don’t have a good enough starting 11. Some of those that started against Arsenal are better for bringing on during a game. The balance in midfield is the major problem and until we strengthen our first 11 we will struggle in my opinion. Absolutely agree PC! Schlupp for me an impact player and Ayew tactical. We have good numbers and mix in our squad however a starting XI where you say 'That should be our team, we'll win with that side' is still a few biscuits short of the tin. Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Originally posted by Den1923 We have never been totally comfortable and flirting with relegation is anywhere below mid table until the maths say otherwise. We lack an attacking midfielder which is critical in setting up those chances in the last third where we are at our weakest. Last friday we had just two chances, both missed. The manager has already said we are a leat three players short of our needs for this season. On this occasion we may have to agree to disagree but I do respect your views and only time will tell who is correct. I agree with this statement provided the player has some bite as per Gallagher and hope that this particular need will be sorted in the coming 3 weeks of the window. for me it's the no. 1 priority.

Originally posted by Dubai Eagle & if you add in to that mix suspensions & injuries some of those biscuits will be gone - Indeed DE, indeed. However, I do think we have a good squad generally plus injuries and suspensions are something all clubs have to deal with but going back to my original post a few of our first team, for me, are 'squad players' already and that is the concern - our starting XI looks like a prem team missing a few starters, due to the aforementioned, mid-season.

It would appear there are at least two dialogues going on. One, for consumption by the media, is bland and non commital. The other is the reality that is happening behind the scenes which we can only speculate upon. My guess is that certain pieces of a jigsaw have to fall into place for us to get Gallagher for another year. If for example Chelsea sign De Jong or another midfield player then Gallagher could be surplus to Chelsea's requirements this season. Better for Chelsea to have a motivated Gallagher playing regular first team football,and possibly enhancing his value with Palace, rather than cutting a frustrated figure with occasional cameo sub appearances at Chelsea.

Originally posted by Hudsoneagle I think we have a decent squad. Decent back ups in almost every position. I'd like to have a proper 2nd left back. Another centre mid. Another forward. If we don't get those players, we still have a good squad. I don't agree that we don't have attacking midfielders...Eze and Schluup should be regarded as attacking midfield players. I Think one more player a DM thug, we have Ebiowei, Plange, Richards and Killian Phillips. unless we get rid of Jairo, Luka and Tomkins off the wage bill i think we will overstretch ourselves financially. “That’s a joke son, I say, that’s a joke.” “Nice boy, but he’s sharp as a throw pillow.” “He’s so dumb he thinks a Mexican border pays rent” “ “Son… I say, son, some people are so narrow minded they can look through a keyhole with both eyes.”__ Forhorn Leghorn

Even with the 5m saved the wage bill is still well over 80% of the total income “That’s a joke son, I say, that’s a joke.” “Nice boy, but he’s sharp as a throw pillow.” “He’s so dumb he thinks a Mexican border pays rent” “ “Son… I say, son, some people are so narrow minded they can look through a keyhole with both eyes.”__ Forhorn Leghorn

Watching this Chelsea game, the only position he can play is Mason Mount's, and he is not going to dislodge him. If he wants to go to the world Cup he needs to play, he will definitely in my opinion be going out on loan again. I honestly don't see where else he can go on loan apart from Palace, won player of the season, so why would you go to the spam or Newcastle or Villa? Not like they are going to win anything. I think he's coming back, start of September he's back with us. My equalibrium unbalanced me. Paul Draper Brighton 19/2/2018

Very hard to see where he would fit in at Chelsea other than the bench. Of course injuries could change things. Chelsea are looking very good. Just don’t think Gallagher quite cuts it there. We are his obvious choice. Newcastle? If he wants to move north. He knows us and vice versa. Que sera.
