John Townley now reporting the deal for Gallagher is moving closer so may as well start to discuss in his own thread.
https://x.com/johntownley11/status/2010750377906630873?s=46
Also Alex Crook reporting - £25M buy obligation after the loan period

Ah that’s done it - I would have liked him to join.

Yeah it's a real shame, he could have been a decent player for us.
-
As soon as I saw who had started the thread….
-
Yep it’s fucked now. Sorry all.
-
He'll be remembered as the one that got away.

It will only confirm he’s an idiot and we were better off without him. And I will say you’re welcome. As it is, Conor you are ace until proven otherwise.
-
Everyone agree to not discuss him in here. Maybe we can break the curse. Just talk about other Connors. Or Gallaghers.
-
Sarah Connor?
-
Jimmy Connors?
-
Maybe he will end up being signed by Emery at Real Madrid?
-
I should have a statue built outside Villa Park for fucking up the Joe Bryant deal. Hero status. Instead I’m forced to live my life in shame. As a pariah.
-
I like Gallagher and if he was coming direct from Chelsea we'd probably be paying almost double so £25m in this market seems a steal. Only issue is how long it usually takes new signings to settle into Emerys ways. Feels like this will probably end up being the long term SJM replacement.
-
I prefer Noel to Liam. Noel has some good one liners and turns of phrase. They’re twats most of the time though.

I like him too.
Season before last, he played very well against us on a few occasions, and was really the heart and soul of the Chelsea team – including for their comeback draw at VP in the league. Versatile, high energy, point to prove. As others have said, gives us options beyond McGinn.
-
Same thing as Lucky Luciano meant when he said he didn’t want to be a crumb.
-
Happy if the club can get this one over the line, McGinn isn't getting any younger and Ross B always seems to pick up an injury.

Steer clear of Montreal. Bodies still dropping like 80s New York.

Conor/Connor Gallagher/Gallaher/Gallacher - spelling and pronunciation police will have to be at the ready. Another one with an Irish passport

Nah. Reputable media sources reporting it. That's enough to dedicate a thread. If it goes tits up blame me (obviously), them and Monchi probably.
-
The spurs interest is a personality test that actually works in our favour. If he chooses them over us then he’s clearly not a serious footballler - best to find out early if he’s a twat before any damage is done.
-
Gives us much needed quality and competition in the middle. I guess he’ll jave a WC place in mind too. All good for us if it happens.

🚨💣 Conor Gallagher is ONLY intent on moving to Aston Villa.
@JPercyTelegraph
🚨💣 Conor Gallagher is ready to join Aston Villa as he targets a return to the Premier League — he is keen to help Unai Emery in his push for Champions League football & negotiations are advancing!
@JPercyTelegraph
-
Given how long it usually takes Emery to bed new signings in, will he risk it with the WC nearly here? Spurs might guarantee him a starting place.
What we've done with Elliott isn't a great look, although fairly easily explained away with PSR I guess.
Edit: looks like that's been answered quickly then! 😂

I believe now we’ve won in the black kit, all jinxes are broken. TV can sleep tonight.

And now David Ornstein reporting Gallagher is off to Spurs…
-
🚨 EXCL: Tottenham Hotspur closing in on deal to sign Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid. Clubs nearing agreement after #THFC made €40m proposal - expected to be accepted by #Atleti + 25yo England international believed to be keen on move
@TheAthleticFC
🚨 Aston Villa held a strong interest in Conor Gallagher, however no agreements were reached amid their desire to maintain financial discipline.
@David_Ornstein
#avfc
TV did it
-
oh no. Battle between Percy and Ornstein.
-
Ffs, who is in charge of transfer rumours today, Rachel Reeves?
-
If he goes to Spurs, the fucking gong show of a club that they are then we don't want him. You can all thank me later.
-
From his point of view, he may feel that starting at Tottenham would be more beneficial to him than being a squad player at Villa
-
Well maybe they offered more?
I do question spending 20m on 2 kids that prob won’t help us too much here and now….
-

I do question spending30m on 2 kids that prob won’t help us too much here and now.
The cost of the two kids will not hit the books as they’re not likely to be registered for the Europa squad. Basically a different budget.
-
Well Brian won’t count as he’ll be youth spend. Alysson will I assume

TV, any chance you could start a Morgan Rogers to Real Madrid - Neary There thread?

Either Ornstein or Percy are talking shite, which is interesting.
-
Is that John Percy tweet genuine? I can’t see it on his feed.
-
If his choice is to play for a midtable club who wont be in Europe next season and no one has any idea who will be managing them at any given point then fuck him, he's just another Cockney-centric money player.

The lure of London and PSR/SCR restrictions fucking us over yet again.

Fuck sake.
-
If he does pick Spurs over us will it be down to the D'oh offered?
-
According to Sly Sports he’s off to Tottenham.
-
If he does pick Spurs over us will it be down to the D'oh offered?
And Champions league football.
-
They're shit, they've no chance in the Champions League.
-
If he does pick Spurs over us will it be down to the D'oh offered?
Unlikely. Not like spurs offer big wages and were known to. Suspect it’s down to them accepting spurs offer and us not matching it so there’s only one option for him
-
Who’s more reliable? Ornstein or Percy?
-

Not for long
-
I bet Emery is pissed. Missed a few of his top targets because of the restrictions. If we can't match his ambitions and wishes then he won't be around past his existing deal.
-
Who’s more reliable? Ornstein or Percy?
The Stein I would say.
-
Well he won’t be busy next season, lots of free midweeks.
-
Emery knows the game. It’s not the club. We’ve been subtle in how we had raised our views on the financial restrictions. I don’t think for one second he would leave us down to rules imposed by the PL and/or UEFA.
-

Plenty of midweek games in the Championship.
-

For Percy to have written an article on it literally published 30 min ago and then for the player to seemingly choose Spurs is a bit incredible. He’s very well respected and connected.

Lets see.
-
It's just a player, we're still as ace as we were this morning and they're still piss poor. His loss.
-
Could be just them trying to get us to cough up more.
-
End of the day if you have the choice to play under Unai at villa, but choose Frank and Spurs then his decision making is woeful and we dont need him.
-
He only ever plays well against us anyway which is the main reason why I wanted him.
-
Frank could be out of a job on Saturday night!

By the sounds of it he was keen to come. Imagine we probably offered a loan deal with vague promises of payment at some point if he plays seventy games, scores ninety goals and we win every competition, including the one from which we have already been knocked out, and Tottenham gazumped us by offering actual money.
-
He may feel our midfield doesn’t guarantee him a game every week and he’d be right.
-
If he did genuinely choose Spurs over us then it’s probably for the best. Frustrating though.
-
Excellent thread this was.
-
I imagine the player didn't have a choice. Atletico like any club would want the deal done now for £35M instead of a loan and probably less in the summer from us so accepted the Spurs offer immediately...regardless if Connor wanted us or not.
-
They’re saying £26m on Sky.
-
Ive never in my life been bothered about us signing Connor Gallagher and now I’m very disappointed we’re not signing Connor Gallagher.

-

Absolutely, Spurs are absolutely desperate so will throw more cash at him but any footballer with ambition picks playing for Emery at Villa Park over getting booed onto their entertainment complex.
-
The player always has the choice. He could say I only want the move to Villa.
If he chosen the shit show that Spurs represent over the genius of Emery, then they are welcome to him.
-
I imagine they are pissing themselves at us having this thread on the Spurs forum right now.
They should look at their last match thread.
-
I'm pissing myself that they couldn't kick us off the pitch on Saturday and we ended their season.

His man bun is horrendous.
-

True
But they're getting a player who would have preferred to come to the side thats pissed all over them twice this season.
-
Good luck to him if he goes there - hope he enjoys watching us in Europe next season
-
Once again, the Toronto Villa curse strikes.

🚨💣 Conor Gallagher to Tottenham, here we go! The player has just informed Atléti about his decision to join #THFC.
Spurs set to pay €40m fee, permanent deal to beat Villa.
Aston Villa agreed deal with Atlético today but leave race as player didn’t give final green light.
-
Proper silly sausage behaviour if he goes there.
I'm not happy about this.
I'm not happy at all.
Utter nonsense.
-
Who shot their bolt early and started this thread.
Oh look. Him again.
Clearly he's going to get more money and be closer to home choosing Spurs, but doesn't help his career at all. Hopefully we have another one lined up.
-
Silly boy

What do you mean jump the gun? C'mon, do you honestly believe me, or any the person who starts a thread has any influence whatsover? And the rule is simple. If something is being reported through very reputable sources, in this case John Townley the primary Villa correspondent, then it's worth having a thread to discuss the player outside of the general transfer discussion.
-
I could understand him going there for the short term. Guaranteed a starting place more or less, Champions League football and a chance of getting a world cup place. Its next season when he'll regret it.
-
Who makes the Rules?

Change the rules.

We should be much more concerned that we couldn't complete a deal that in today's money isn't a lot for good footballer, who is still quite young who would have improved us. That's a major issue as we try to secure CL football and other silverware.

All our midfielders healthy, who is he getting in the team ahead of? Onana, Kamara and Tielemans all better players than him.

Shame, but we have our hands tied behind our backs financially and ultimately London always trumps Birmingham for footballers. The lifestyle and the money
-

Onana can't stay fit and we're in several comps, need a squad.

The problem it really highlights is how the bollocks about us not being allowed to spend money is totally unfair and is a timely reminder of the miracles Unai is performing with one hand tied behind his back.

It’s because he wanted to go to Spurs. He’s turned us down before. Knobhead. Doesn’t deserve his own thread. Now we look like cucks.
-
Ahh, doing these threads is no harm, no foul as far as I'm concerned. Nothing wrong with a bit of opinion about someone who may be coming, or not as the case may be!

We don't look like anything. Tomorrow we will still be Aston Villa, in 3rd place in the league, headed into the 4th Rd of the FA Cup and knockout stages of the Europa. They will still be Tottenham throwing money at the problem with utterly shit fans and manager.

Spurs is the easy choice. Easy life, turmoil off the pitch, maybe no european football next season.

But I do strongly feel there’s no need to start a thread based on Townley saying we’re signing someone.

Didn’t this chump turn us down before? Fcuk him.
-
Do Spurs fans realise they've signed an ex Chelsea (from the age of 6) player?
And that doesnt mean anything to them?
-
Anyone who believes in jinxes needs to look in the mirror. No such thing. Shit happens especially in football, with players and agents. Very reputable sources suggested he was coming to us and then something happened at the 11th hour. We don't know if it was us pulling out, the player changing his mind when Tottenham came in for him or something else.

we have always started independent threads when there has been enough reason to do so. This was no exception. Starting a thread or not starting one has zero impact on the eventual outcome.

Not a serious footballer, he'll spend his time playing darts with Maddison.

I am really not disappointed by this, never rated him. Looking at the reactions of Athletico, fans seems we won't be missing much.
-
He looked like a guy who went out with Holly Valance in Neighbours. Do we need characters like him at our club?

Very reputable sources suggested he was coming to us and then something happened at the 11th hour. We don't know if it was us pulling out, the player changing his mind when Tottenham came in for him or something else.
You need to start pulling out of Townley. You can't resist those blondes.
That part is very true

Whatever happened to ITSOTP?
TV thought it was ISTOTP i.e. I start threads on the players.

Have a little humility and just apologise.
nah, write to John Percy.

He looked like a guy who went out with Holly Valance on neighbours. Do we need characters like him at our club?
This is a good point.

I really don't know why we can't just leave transfer speculation in the thread we have dedicated to transfer speculation. Start a new thread when someone actually signs, not just following a vague mention on racistpaedos.com.

Bit of a shame as I think he could’ve been good for us … but not to worry, I’m not especially concerned about not getting him.

I wouldn’t of minded going out with Holly Valance

I'd rather not overpay for a man bunned Stripey that would be our 4th choice central midfielder.

No doubt. Along with Carlton Palmer, Benny McCarthy, Juninho and Gary Lineker.

True. just don’t talk politics with her.
-
Two things - Holly Vallance has turned out to be a massive twat.
Also - to fair Gallagher, its not every day you get the opportunity to be managed by Ryan Mason
-
On the outside, maybe.
Oh do tell me what her heart is like?

Time to move this premature thread to Timewasters.

Didnt realise she was married to a Reform fella….I take it back, going out far against my principles…one night only maybe

I usually don't even comment until they are signed and as soon as I saw this thread I had a bad feeling. Just being honest.

Well, there will always be a plan b etc.
I think Gallagher is a good player, and would have suited us well.
If spurs offered more to AM then he was always going to go there if we couldn’t/wouldn’t match it.

They split.

It was definitely the politics holding you hunks of left wing beef from bagging somebody as tidy as Vallance. Good decisions to reject her.
-

He likely had a choice of sitting on their bench or going to Spurs, given we couldn't compete with the offer, which makes it surprising you wouldn't just sit on the bench in Madrid rather than spend anytime playing at Spurs where Frank won't be there next season. He has little chance of England with Anderson well established now.
-
If he does pick Spurs over us will it be down to the D'oh offered?
And Champions league football.
He’ll be cup tied won’t he? Is that a thing in Europe?
No...remember Coutinho.
Did he play for two teams in the same season? Thought that was him playing (and scoring) against his parent club in the CL. Much like Acensio should have done last season. Might be wrong.
-
We've offered what we thought he was worth, Spurs offered more. They've told him he'll start every game, we've told him he'll be up against McGinn, Tielemans, Onana & Kamara.
Why Spurs, a team with a midfield full of cloggers & runners, have gone for him, when what they need is creativity, shows what a shit show they are.
If he's chosen to play for Frank instead of Emery, then I wish him the best of luck.

Yeh talk to the person who did. That’s been an ace signing.

Get TV to start a Tuscans 4 James Corden thread...I bet I get Holly.

Absolute bellend.
We'll push on either way, but it must be London ignorance to pick those over us now.

Just posted on the other thread, I don't think there will be a Plan B. I think £25m was considered too good to turn down, rather than CM being a priority position.

Conor Gallagher understood to want to return to London and believes he'll get more starts at Spurs. @JacobsBen
i.e. player knows he's not good enough to get in our team and everything is easier about Spurs. Good luck to him, he'll need it.
-

Thats even worse - just means you'll have to hear endless about it not being the split she would have negotated.

If that’s his attitude then he’s getting what he deserves when it all goes to shit.

He won't end up with Corden, he'll end up with Ruth Jones. There'll be an instant spark and they'll bond over their shared love of South Wales and the Villa.

It says something about the player that he would choose Spurs over us, there are so many negatives about going to them that there must be other influences. London night life, less competition etc. Didn't want him so i'm happy.

He'll fit in well at Spurs, the overrated ponce
(Unless he says no and signs for us, in which case he's brilliant)

Complete bollocks. How about everyone else who starts a new player thread?

Maybe the fact that Kamara is only out for a couple of weeks also changed how much we were willing to throw at the deal?

Bollocks to him. If he can’t see what we can offer him and would rather go to the bright lights of London and an obvious basket club over the possibility of something great, more fool him.
-
Maybe he hasn't been following Spurs and he thinks they're still the fantastic Bill Nicholson push and run outfit
-
Emery would have made him into a great player , improved him loads and maybe ( big maybe) knocking at the england squad , where Frank might not make Valentines day .
If he dont want competition in a very good team then we wouldnt really want that type.

Could he do anything with Dele Alli?

Ah well, not to be and if Spurs are willing to offer silly money for him on a perm deal then help yourselves lads.

Specific to our midfield, he would have been training and playing alongside one starting England internationals, 2 starting Belgian international, one of the best DMs in Europe in Kamara, the great SJM and a young emerging Dutch international. Managed by one of the top coaches in world football with a good chance of CL football next season. There is a good chance he would have fought his way back into consideration for England. Instead he’s gone for the soon to be fired Thomas Frank at a club that is a mess on and off the pitch.
-
I do think he would have been a decent long term McGinn replacement but he's obviously gone for the short term gains of guaranteed play time, also in the CL, and it's a World Cup year. Also, he's a Landan twat. He'll regret it on a professional level soon enough.
-
He’ll probably be starting at Spuds, but would have (at least initially) been a squad player at Villa.
Spuds are allowed to spend that kind of money, Villa aren’t,
Can’t blame either the player or his club for making this choice.
-
Maybe it's true that Gallagher is intent on joining Villa as reported by Percy and it may also be true Spurs have agreed a price with Athletico as reported by Ornstein. Gallagher is still in the position to reject Spurs offer. As has been said, if he chooses them over Villa we really don't want him.
-
Henry Hill's ex-wife is still under the witness protection programme.
Not surprised, TV Burp was shit.
Very good.
Grrr, beat me to it.
Dogtanian!

Emery could turn Bosko Balaban into prime Messi
-
Possibly as I thought then, better chance of immediate game time at Spurs in a world Cup year. Shame cos I'd think he'd be ideal for us, hope he comes to his senses.
At what point does Unai get pissed off with trying to keep us competitive with one hand tied behind his back.

Thinking about it If Henderson can get a sniff so could CG
-
Loads of players make moves so as they play more games. Better a player does that rather than move purely for money while not giving a cack if they play or not imo.
-
Emery always talks about things like commitment, dedication, focus. And you want players with ambition. It’s a certain type of player that will accept what’s needed to play at top clubs under top coaches. It’s not for everyone. No room for slackers with us. If Spurs is the easier way out and that’s the attitude play there. We need more than that.
-
Would rather play more at a mid table club than have a chance at working for the best coach in the world in a side where he could win the league. What evs, enjoy toiling under a doomed manager for a few months.
-
Although some are saying they understand if Malen wants to leave to play more games. I doubt anyone wants to be on a bench most of the time this close to the World Cup.
-
To be fair, while I think he’s a good player, I don’t see him as much of an upgrade on our current options. Also I don’t see midfield as a priority for us to spend on right now.
-
He's obviously picked Spurs because their team is shit, and he knows he'll be playing every match with much less competition. They probably offered him more money, too.
Not very ambitious of the lad, but there you go.
-
If everyone is fit he doesn't get into our best 11 at present. And on the flipside if we had a player we didn't like that was happy to be on the bench then more often than not he'd be called lazy and unambitious.
-
Shame, I thought he would have been a good fit for us.
-
Can it be moved to "Other Football" now, please?
-
Unai wanted him, and he chose Spurs, so the spurned lover reaction on here makes sense. But from Gallagher’s perspective, it seems he wants to move to get more playing time. If you’re looking at names like Mcginn, Kamara, Youri, Onana on the team sheet ahead of you, it seems a reasonable choice to go where you’re likely to play more, even if they’re shit.
