I see a few articles circulating today about us being interested in Chelsea's Connor Gallagher.

If true, you know it will another RLC situation where we are Chelsea's testing ground to see if they are good enough for the PL.

Really I hadn't heard that West Ham were interested so it can't be true.

RLC played yesterday he's just coming back from a major injury so I doubt Chelsea will sell him. I think he gets at least 1 more season to show them if he is worth a place.

One more point

So Willo what are you saying he is a good addition for a premiership team or just a run of the mill box to box player with little flair ?

Strikes me as the sort of player Chelsea may release in order to fund other transfers. Being reported in the Express [Link] they are looking to offload around 6 players to do this.

Given Chelsea have blooded a few youngsters this season and Gallagher was loaned out suggests to me he is not seen as a real contender and his potential place is blocked by the likes of Abraham.

My mates a Swansea fan and follows the championship very closely. He doesn’t think this lad is a box to box midfielder. He’s more of a play maker. 10 yellows just suggests he’s not great at timing a tackle which will need to get better. He had a better goal scoring record for Charlton but a better assists record at Swansea. He’s definitely more suited as a forward playing midfielder.

Ultimately my mate said 10m is way too much but he’s a bit of a tight ass lol and I never trust him on the value of something!

I watched him quite closely last night and he is all action. Technically he is two footed, composed on the ball and can shoot from outside the box - if you see goals he scored for Charlton. I think the more involved he is the more instinctive he gets. He is a natural footballer

A few times he was waiting at the edge of the box for a chance to strike but wasn't found by team mates. In defence he sometimes gets caught out, but that may have been down to trying too hard or exeburance, or the way Swansea were set up. He will learn positioning playing with others at a higher level.

I'd be very surprised if Chelsea are willing to let him go though but I think he would be a good signing if he were for sale.
