His best attribute is certainly his ball-carrying, but he'd have limited opportunity to use that as a 10.

I disagree on a number of counts. First up is the managers job. In a results business it's about picking the best team available to you. If Gallagher is available, he should play. We are paying for him after all. Secondly, there is no similarity between Eze and Gallagher in terms of playing style. PV's game plan to date has included Gallagher. To accommodate Eze would require a different approach. I get the argument about the only way Eze can get back to true full fitness is by getting game time. But that has to be earned. PV sees him in training every day and that informs his selection decisions. I think he needs to continue to be handled with care after the injury he had. He'll benefit from a proper Pre Season in the summer. sure, it's a results business. I'm looking at this as a project.. the term everyone likes to use with PV. It's no secret a lot of people just wanted to stay up this year.. so for us to beat Burnley, goes a long way to cement this. Then, we can look at next year. I am thinking, ok, we have this amazing player, but we lose him in 11 games - so if we look at the long term project, we need to prepare for life without him - how do we do that. We need to set up now, how we would like to next year, start the process. Then we can see what we need to buy this summer, if at all. I dunno, it seems a no brainer to me, to phase him out, rather than keep him til the end then tinker in the summer with friendlies.

It's not just Conor's football that I'll miss when he leaves, it's also his charming personality. He genuinely seems to enjoy his time with Palace and his post match interviews are a delight. Last night's joint interview with Guehi is a gem. Great footballer and a lovely bloke. Boy, we're going to miss him. Blows as many kisses to the fans when he scores as Mark Lazarus.

I think Gallagher is going to have some big discussions this summer. Vieira would sign him in a heartbeat if he could if Chelsea would be prepared to sell. Does he go back, risk maybe playing a bit part, or give up the dream and play every week for Palace.

He'd regret it for the rest of his life if he didn't give it a try. I do think he will struggle there though, for all his strengths he's not a ball player, nor does he control a game. And as we have seen of late, if he doesn't score, we start to question what he's been doing. Sounds more critical than I meant it, but the Chelsea standard is so high.

With CG (especially when coupled with Jimmy Mac) we win the ball back more often & further up the pitch than I can ever remember a Palace team doing.

I think when Boris starts selling Chelsea's assets, 1 million should be engough to get him.

Losing Conor will be tough but PV needs to play his best team to give us the best possible chance of winning each game. And at the moment I'd imagine Conor Gallaghers name is one of the first on his teamsheet. Eze has to compete hard in training to convince PV to pick him, thats how it works.
