I would say £10m is about the right figure. No more than that. Although his stats were good for us he struck me as being a bit lazy out on the pitch.

This one is all about price for me. He has quality and should be approaching a golden time in his career- just depends how much he wants to play football. He is a proven goals scorer but others may be a better option if Chelsea want more than £25 million. Personally I would like a more imposing No 9 with a bit of physical presence - but it’s all about goals in the end and Batshuayi would deliver in that regard imo.

We have lacked a natural in the box ,6 yard finisher,. When he was with us that’s what he gave us. We still lack that ,it’s why we can’t score often enough. So it’s yes for me , but not if Chelsea want silly money, or he wants silly wages. Another loan wouldn’t hurt if we are stuck elsewhere.

Never say never maybe? He did do a good job for us last time, and his resale value must be lower etc?

He did alright when he came to us. 5 goals in 11 apps according to Wkipedia. To have a striker that scores almost 1 in 2 games. I would settle for that.

I can only see a loan though. They want too much for him.

He is reportedly signing a new contract before going out on loan. I believe 2 players cannot be loaned from the same club, and Gallagher is a done deal, so probably not coming to Palace.
