Only thing with that... Ange's #1 target.

And we've not pushed it over the li.e for him.... allegedly £5m apart...but we have the ££
Ange has also continuously said that the squad needs trimming down. Adding a £50m signing to an already bloated team, isn't what he wants.

Ideally Chelsea suck this year, at no fault of gallagher, and Poch is forced to play his new toys by someone above him leaving CG the odd man out and we try again in Jan, if Ange really wants him still.

I don't know much about Todd Boehly, no idea how him and Poch will tune in to get them running again, but I can't help but see him and think that he's the type of person Mike Ashley wants to be. Bloke looks like he enjoys a drink but wouldn't end up trying too hard and being sick in a fireplace.

edit - sorry, a picture of him just appeared on my screen while I was reading about this on another site, I got distracted. Rate me Off Topic, I understand... but I can rescue it, right?

...and that Gallagher lad, shame we didn't land him, eh?

He was outstanding against Fulham. Heard Lampard on Sky talking about how hard of a worker and professional he was in training. Seems to fit Ange’s profile perfectly. Hope we can revisit this signing and we haven’t missed our chance now that he is playing so much for Chelsea.

I think it will depend on how much FFP shit Chelsea are in and whether they get the Saudis to buy a load more rubbish off them for stupid amounts. I personally think it's likely that exactly what will happen.

As much as he is perfect for Ange's system, he is equally as perfect for Poch's too. No way they let him go.

Against Liverpool we were bringing on players I've never even heard of. Not sure how we have a bloated team

They'll sell him, but they might be looking for slightly more money than last summer.

I think they have to make 120m clear profit per year to pay for their current amorotised players.

If they buy anymore (they will) that figure goes up.

They could be alright for this year as they did sell Mount and Hall for 80-100m combined, which is pure profit on the books, plus others which would probably bring their book profit to 120m, but if they don't get CL next year things will start getting tenuous, and they'll need to sell more Academy graduates.

I like Gallagher but he's not Messi, so they might sacrifice him.

Well I mean on our bench - donkey, Phillips, veliz….obviously I know them just being hyperbolic but I bet most neutrals wouldn’t know who these players are

Who cares. They didn't know who Sarr and Udogie were last season. They do now
Not saying it’s a barometer of their ability or potential, but it is an indication of the threadbare nature of our squad that we have basically no one to bring on when seeking an equalizer

Maybe a few of those unknown names will come to the fore though. We may have answers in our own set up
