Unless their next coach really doesn't want him I can't see him moving. Even then he might want to prove himself and stay there, he really loves that scummy club.After Pochettino's comments last night I doubt we'll be signing him in the summer.
I don't think anything has changed, they weren't looking to sell him because he wasn't good enough he was always good enough so playing well doesn't change that and neither does what the coach wants. It is all about finances and that hasn't changed.After Pochettino's comments last night I doubt we'll be signing him in the summer.
Possibly in terms of Gallagher being the next target in this area but given Bergvall’s age, I still think we can improve upon either Hojbjerg or Skipp whilst allowing him time to settle and develop.imo we are no longer interested in Gallagher after signing Bergvall

Despite his professionalism PEH isn’t a great fit for us and you can say the same of skipp but one is no doubt worth more in terms of the fee we’d get and wages we’d free up, so I’d still be shocked if we don’t do something else in the summer in and around the midfield.
we were NEVER signing the Chelsea captain.....'click-bait''After Pochettino's comments last night I doubt we'll be signing him in the summer.
Poch does chat a lot of shit though to be fair lol.After Pochettino's comments last night I doubt we'll be signing him in the summer.
We've already got Bissouma, Bentancur and Sarr competing for two spots. We're very light on club-trained players at the moment so I think - for now at least - we probably need to keep Skipp as well. Add Bergvall into the mix next season as well and I just don't really see Gallagher as any sort of priority.

True. However, assuming that we will be in Europe next season, it would IMO make sense with four solid options for those two CM spots.
It also seems to me that Ange likes a #8 with a really good engine, and that Sarr currently is our only option who fits that description to a tee. I am not saying that Gallagher is the answer, but I can see the logic behind adding another CM in that mould (to compete/rotate with Sarr).
I think it’s wildly optimistic to expect either of them to be ready next season. Donley will need a loan next year, Devine might be ready at a push, but likely not in a CL team.Agreed, and Donley/Devine.

But the original point stands, don’t think we need a huge splurge here, personally.

Problem is that for Europe next season our senior squad of 25 will consist of 21 overseas+homegrown, plus 4 from Whiteman, Austin, Tanganga, Skipp, Parrott, Lyons-Foster and Robson. Which is precisely why I think Skipp needs to stay.True. However, assuming that we will be in Europe next season, it would IMO make sense with four solid options for those two CM spots.
