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

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
Sanchez and NDomBelly were still here at close of window, they only left after tooSolomon came on. Johnston, bentencur and Perisic all injured and no idea what's happened to lo celso.
Remove them and we will look a bit lightweight. We have a bloated squad if you include players out on loan also.

Would you be saying this if we hadn't suffered injuries to Bentancur, Solomon, Perisic, Johnson & Lo Celso?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
Well you'd certainly be expecting every one of those to be replacing players currently on the bench if not starting in some cases.Would you be saying this if we hadn't suffered injuries to Bentancur, Solomon, Perisic, Johnson & Lo Celso?
EDIT:
+ Sessegnon
+ Gil
That's six attacking options injured, plus a top quality CM. If that didn't leave us short of established options on the bench, we'd surely have too many established players to register.
Sessegnon the no product manSessegnon the forgotten man
Didnt know he'd been made captain.I just do not see them selling Gallagher, he’s their captain and Poch obviously thinks highly of him
It's Chilwell, James and then Gallagher. The other two are always injured though.Didnt know he'd been made captain.
I honestly don’t know why Chelsea would sell him in general let alone to us but if they still will I’m fairly sure he will be our top target when we sell PEH. I get the contract situation but I can’t imagine it would be that hard to sign him to a new deal if they really wanted him to stay.Romano says £40m player could move very soon after claims Tottenham want him
Journalist Fabrizio Romano has given an update on Conor Gallagher's situation at Chelsea amid interest from Tottenham Hotspur.tbrfootball.com

It’s their business model. Sell youth products for as much as possible as you can put 100% of the fee on the balance sheet. They’re going to be well short of FFP come accounts time and selling him would go a long way to making up the difference. As far as the powers that be there are concerned, they have spent nigh on 200 million combined to sign Lavia, Caiceido, and Enzo, so what do they need Gallagher for?I honestly don’t know why Chelsea would sell him in general let alone to us but if they still will I’m fairly sure he will be our top target when we sell PEH.

Supposedly he’s a Chelsea fan and everything I’ve read seems to suggest he’d prefer to stay. Sure that could have changed but considering he’s been playing regularly and captaining the side it would be strange to be looking to leave.Depends if he wants to stay? If he doesn't it's very hard for them to get him to sign a new deal.

They want to sell him because he would be 40 mil of profit to help offset their books for FFP. Whether they want to or not, they have put themselves in a corner a little bit, especially if they want to splash on a Striker, he would be the one to get axed.I honestly don’t know why Chelsea would sell him in general let alone to us but if they still will I’m fairly sure he will be our top target when we sell PEH.
