I don't understand Chelsea's disrespect of Gallagher and he's made it very clear he's a Chelsea fan and wants to play for them. He had a chance when he wasn't a consistent starter to come back and he wanted to fight for his place. Which I don't hold against him, that's the sort of player you want at your club.

Now he's their Captain most of the time and starts each game plus adds to their English quota and all you hear is he is free to go and open to offers any time Chelsea transfers are mentioned.

I think he'd come here really dejected and might not be the player he once was.

I agree with you in principle, but Gallagher understands the Chelsea predicament and he must see what is happening at the Palace. If Guehi and Olise were our only gem exits then who knows. But maybe the shine has rubbed off somewhat with the likes of EZE Hughes and Wharton performing so well.
Between the clubs they could pull a legit deal that would really help them and give us a handsome income.

Broja is a dud. Chelsea over value him and he is not up to much. Would rather see 1 or 2 of our academy goal-scoring talent get a go pre-season.

Would love Conor Gallagher to come back, he'd be excellent cover for Will Hughes.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold...

They are still Holding (groan) their sides

Our record on swap deals hasn’t been great.
We did get Andy Johnson as a makeweight in the deal for Clinton Morrison to Birmingham.
Morrison was a good player, but we got the better of that deal.
Johnson averaged more than a goal per two games for us and was sold for a decent fee at the time to Everton.
Off the top of my head I can’t think of any other swap deals that worked for us.
Mind you, swap deals seem to have died a death in recent years.
Perhaps she would resurrect them and swap Edouard for Nketiah!
