A no for me. Granted have not watched him much but from the bits I have seen I don't think he's very good.

In the two loans he has had he has shown adaptability, he can do most of what you want in a mid fielder, he can play deep, or in a high press, he can put in a tackle, and come out with the ball, something all of our midfielders are short on. He can carry, and find a decent opening pass. He can get a goal. It’s a team game, so he would have to be part of a blend, he is not the type you have to adjust to much for so should not be much of a problem.
He might not ever be world class , but at twenty one, he already looks that he would be a good addition for a club like us, and possibly an improvement going forward.

Yes I was forgetting his stint at Charlton. A box to box midfielder describes him quiet well. It’s always a case of how effective they are in doing so , in his case ,he can be very effective.
Cant see him not having a decent future in the game, as long as Chelsea, would sell at a sensible price, he is one for the future.

Lee, was no mean performer himself. So probably a suitable wing for a teenage performer to be to be placed under.
I feel Gallagher, has been pushed forward , up a notch, each season since Charlton, and in reaching the all round requirements placed on him has not disappointed .
Being able to retain a regular place in W Brom,s side under two very experienced managers, says a lot about a player of his age.
There is a goal in him, but as with most player’s how many he might score will always be helped by how dominating the team he plays for are.

A similar player to Gallagher.

On the subject of Lee Bowyer, I recall receiving complimentary tickets to see Wimbledon v Charlton in a League Cup game at Selhurst Park back in the 90s.
"Bo" scored a hat-trick for Charlton as they won 5-4.John Humphrey was in the Charlton team that night.
Evening game,sparse crowd but entertaining match!

Good football player, more questionable as a person. Don't forget what the likes of him and Woodgate got up to whilst at Leeds.

But back to the topic I can see Gallagher (As I think another poster has said), as a replacement for McArthur who is asked to act as a box to box midfielder despite his legs getting somewhat older.
