Wouldn't be surprised to hear an agreement has already been made to sign him in the summer, Chelsea supposedly ruled out a loan & Conor was reported to rule out Everton & claim to prefer a Palace move. If we're unable to justify that amount in January, preferring to buy one / loan one we may be biding our time to splash out in a few months.

Far better to forget him and concentrate on bargains to be had in Europe, Africa and South America.

Brighton have got Tony Bloom which is a bit like comparing Ayew with Messi.

I'd be more than happy sticking to a model that is designed to buy players for less than we sell them at. Easier said than done eh. I love Connor, but when you are buying at £400m, that's harder to do. I'm not sure he has the technical talent to be an £80m player in 5 years.... For comparison, Brighton paid around £40m for White, Bissouma and Cucurella, and sold for £140m.

He will likely not play much now for the rest of the season.

Yes. The big IF though if he's available for bids to be made and IF we can afford to make an offer? There's a lot of other key players who will be out of contract, and we will need 2RBs a striker and a midfielder. That might amount to more than £100m... We could always do a Chelsea on it and sign him on a 8 year deal and spread the payments over the 8 years .

I really don't think Gallagher would want to come to us full time. He has got to be thinking about trophies and European football, especially after being in England squad for WC.
