FFS..I can't be bothered to read back, who else are we close to buying or selling?
was a joke mate.We wanted him before Lange. Obviously Ange wants him and rates him (as does Poch) so is it possible he's just playing in a really shit side. As as aside when Gallagher was on loan at West Brom at a similar age to Wharton and Hackney he was shit hot before looking great at Palace. IMO he's better than people are making out but just don't see it as a priority.
No but he ran about a lot and waved his arms whilst being shite 90% of the time.Did Freund have double digit goals and assists for us?
It's probably more realistic in the summer but worth asking the question.Why would they sell their best players if they get a point deduction? They quite obviously need to keep them to try and stay in the league.
100%!
Said it in another post we need a player with magic. The ones we have I really don’t see any of them
Who are live say a gazza, rafael VDV, foden , silva or some who has great close control, beat players with skill, do one-twos, dummies, have great shot and free kicks.
I'd bet money he's at Chelsea when this window closes. In fact going to see what Paddy power will give itwas a joke mate.
I'm not overly excited by the player. But the absolute horror and fear it would send across the Chelsea fan base as they realise that we are and always have been the bigger club would make it money well spent in my opinion. Whatever the fee.The obsession with Gallagher is more than a little concerning to me.
Let them cheaters rot!!!You reckon if we gave them some cash for Cunha it would help? Surely we could find 15m.
Yeah you missed it. He won't deal with them NOW. At this price point, as opposed to say for Jude Soon-supbell whose deal includes sell ons to Chelsea. The point is he'd be spiting himself if he gave them millions right NOW more than he would be refusing to deal them out of this hole. He's waited along time for this FFP handcuff, I think the restrictions it causes is way more valuable to Enic and Spurs than any one player. Think bigger than Gallagher was my point. Its about the moment.
Who do you think he replaces or is better than?
for 50m and helping chavski out of FFP ? Madness
So you don't even know what position he would play, let alone what player he would replace.He goes in to compete with Bentancur Bissouma Sarr for the CM positions, ahead of Skipp and replacing PEH. On paper he'd have to prove himself better than the other 3 but if we're after him than that's clearly where the people buying and oking the transfer see him. What you or i think is bye the bye
But we removed Lloris and Dier's wages. Plus he wouldn't come in without PEH leaving anyway.At this point it feels chelsea driven more than Spurs in the media.
In the summer we were def keen but given we signed a first team CB and added Werner's wages, I can't see us adding a 3rd first team signing this winter tbh.

Fair enough. Discussion over.
Well he's either a really good signing or he's not. Regardless of the price.Gallagher would be a really good signing at the right price.
Skipp/PEH/Lo CelsoWho do you think he replaces or is better than?
It is obviously helpful, because signing Gallagher is entirely dependent on Hojbjerg leaving. It opens up one Foreign slot and takes up an Association slot in which we are severely deprived of decent players in. Gallagher is also a few years younger. It just makes sense quality wise, squad wise, and tactics wise. The only question mark is his Chelsea allegiance, but I believe he is a top professional and ultimately it won't matter if it happensUEFA rule means we can have:
Maximum of 17 foreign players
Maximum of 21 foreign + association players
Unlimited club trained or U21 players (latter have to have been with us for 2 years)
Foreign:
18: Vicario Porro Emerson Dragusin Romero VdV Udogie Hojbjerg Bissouma Lo Celso Bentancur Kulusevski Son Werner Richarlison Solomon Gil Veliz
Association:
5: Davies Johnson Forster Sessegnon Maddison
Club trained or U21:
3: Sarr, Skipp, Austin
So as it stands, if we sign Werner permanently, we would have to pick 2 players out of Sessegnon, Gil, Veliz to not be in a squad. If we bought another foreign player or even an association player this summer, we would have to ship out all 3.
Spursidol Am I missing something or is buying Gallagher not actually that helpful for our HG issue?
Well he's either a really good signing or he's not. Regardless of the price.
