Chelsea

[S-RED]

battered again, they look a shambles.... defence a complete mess

[peterbread]

Chelsea have told Conor Gallagher they are selling him and if he wants to stay then sign a new deal that they are offering (on their terms basically). If he doesn’t then he’s pretty much in the PL2. Shocking really.

Didn’t they try and force him out last season as well? Came through their academy, good reliable player and captained them plenty last season.

They seem to have lost a few highly rated players from their academy recently and it’s no surprise when they see Gallagher treated like that. Feels like they’ll just sell you for pure profit to buy the new next big thing for a ridiculous amount. Seems like the type of player they need right now who will put in the work and show some pride.

Gallagher is pretty limited. Good at what he does, but limited beyond that. And what he does isn't what Chelsea want.

He's home grown too so selling him banks them a massive profit for the financial rules thing, which they need.

I don't see an issue personally. The fact that there doesn't seem to be a queue of clubs in for the guy speaks volumes about the situation.

It would be funny if they ended up losing him for free at some point.

Yeah still doesn’t send a good message to the Academy kids which is possibly why we snared that promising kid from them.

Reminds me of Robbie Savage

& he's off to Atletico Madrid.... £33M

He'll fit in well playing for Simeone

I thought Gallagher had the potential to be a decent player and would have thrived under Klopp.

Loads of players have stagnated/gone backwards at Chelsea recently, will be interesting to see if he kicks on now.

It's Chelsea. That is what they have done for a couple decades. It's literally part of the business model.

I wouldnt mind a message telling me if I ended up being pretty good, They would sell me for 50m and I would get 10%

From what I’ve seen don’t hold your breath

Hopefully the kids see that there’s no pathway & keep jumping ship.

[Deano]

They have a cracking academy at Chelsea but I'd have second thoughts about sending my kids there

To be fair I thought Gallagher was one of their better players last year, there was also similar messing about with him last year supposedly being on his way because they needed the money, best thing for him is to move on IMO. He's 24 now so needs to be playing regularly and not being messed about like he has been at Chelsea.
