No loans, please. We aren't in the Championship any more. If he's available, buy him. If not, buy someone else. I've no wish to develop players for Chelsea.

This.

[Clampy]

Coutinho was a loan initially.

[Legion]

A loan with an option to buy, I think.

desperate times…

[Rudy Can't Fail]

It can only be Gallagher because there is no way Chelsea are loaning out Pulisic.  I'd take the latter in a heartbeat.

I would be more than happy with Gallahger. He would give us much needced energy and thrust. Things we really lack presently.

I doubt very much it will be Gallagher, from what I've read over the last few weeks Chelsea want to get him involved this season. If it is him, a loan with an option to buy is the only proposal we should be putting on the table.

Which full back would he play behind?

[Delboy Villan]

Loans, buys or gifts from the Gods I don't care just some players to improve the team please!

[nick harper]

I think Gallagher would make a massive difference to the midfield. Box to box, great energy and intensity and chips in with goals. His pressing is fantastic.

Coutinho was a loan initially.

True, but it was always likely we would sign him permanently, and we aren't in competition with Barcelona. If you said to me we were signing Gallagher on loan but had a pre-agreed fee, I'd be happy with that (though I would still rather sign him so we can play against them). If we are loaning him to boost his future Chelsea first team hopes or so that they can get a bigger fee elsewhere next summer, bollocks to that.

Unless he’s changed tactics I think lung busting 8s are a bit wasted in his system where the midfielders drop in to cover the full-backs.

playing under Gerrard's coaching wouldn't necessarily be boosting his future ...

[OCD]

Playing for Palace for a year didn't do much for his Chelsea first team chances. Chelsea are easily distracted by anything shiny. You could bring him in on loan and he would probably want to make it permanent too, like Coutinho. We can try and buy him but Chelsea would probably demand a buy-back clause.

[ADVILLAFAN]

There was an occasion yesterday where he received the ball with his back to goal, threaded through their midfield and about 5 yards onto him against a defender. His touch was so poor he miscontrolled it beyond their midfielder. That's not confidence, that's something he ought to have the ability to do from a young age. He can't and never will, no matter how chipper he feels at any given moment.

Shades of when Harewood player for us and the bloke behind shouted "bloody hell Marlon, you can trap a ball further than I can pass it".

Indeed and, unlike some of our French signings, our record with midfielders called Conor is pretty good.
