cheltenham_villa Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Thought he was excellent tbh and played us off the park twice at VP this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STO Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 With plenty of extra games next season, we need a bigger squad. Not really sure on his quality to be honest but if Unai wants him then he must be a quality player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marka Ragnos Posted May 18 VT Supporter Share Posted May 18 We need two excellent players in every position. That’s minimum for Champions League. But Unai can craft good clay into essential squad gold like some football alchemist. Even Olsen is better. All said, Gallagher doesn’t really fit the profile of a Monchi target, imo. Too high profile, too coached over by other systems, too pricey, too London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 17 minutes ago, Hank Scorpio said: Well Emery himself said we have very little to spend, because of these bullshit rules. So it's not a massive leap to think someone will have to go, sadly and as ridiculous as it is given where we are now. Yeah but Emery also said sometimes you can't just sell certain players to have money in the bank, as there is a bigger picture etc. It's like people keep conveniently ignoring all the Deadwood we have and other youngsters which aren't quite up there we can clear off the books before we start selling our main players or elite " prospects ". I'm not saying we won't have to but I'm sure there are multiple ways we can manage this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 One of those players that plateaued for a while but has kicked on again. Poch has taken time but finally found a way to get that team playing, in particular Gallagher. We are short in centre midfield so he would be a great acquisition. Got grit to him as well. Forget the last 2 years and concentrate on the last 3 months. He has been quality, and i really didnt think he would be, which shows what i know . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 He always plays well against us, so a bit surprising that some don't rate him. English tax though and don't see us prioritising a player at his cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Can’t see this happening, I think it’s just agent games to get him a better deal. I don’t like him, not sure why, but when I look around the rest of the Chelsea squad, I don’t like any of them either! Same goes for the other 18 teams in the league. He is a good player though and I’d take him at Villa to add more quality to a squad that’s going to need it. The cost could be prohibitive but if there’s some way of getting him that’s affordable with FFP then fine. Unai has my full trust now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted May 18 VT Supporter Share Posted May 18 I'd love to have him, if we didn't have an issue with money. Since we do have an issue with money, he's out of reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get they will be harder games but I think we will likely play fewer in 2024/25 than 23/24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
