It will be interesting to see if we do go for 1 more midfielder in the summer. I think with Lo Celso down to 1 year left and Hojbjerg likely to leave we might well do. Whether that will be Gallagher though I'm not sure. I fancy a cheaper option considering it will be more for depth anyway. Unless Chelsea really has to come down on price. For around 30m all in I would still take him.
Yeah, I’m thinking a guy like Ederson may make a lot of sense, personally. As you said, Lo Celso and Hojbjerg out and Ederson in with presumably Devine, Donley and Bergvall battling it out for minutes. I think in that scenario we likely loan out the guy viewed as the odd man out or maybe give Skipp a decent loan within the PL in hopes of boosting his value going into the last 2 years of his contract (think his goes to 2027).
But, when you consider Bissouma, Bentancur, Sarr, Maddison, Ederson(?), Devine, Donley and Bergvall, that’s a ton of depth and really good cover for all roles, in my opinions.
