Summer 2024 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

[algy]

I do wonder if Gallagher will just stay at Chelsea - and in some ways that’d be funny if it helps stuff them. Given his obvious affinity for Chelsea I’d be surprised if he went to Spurs.

Yeah, you wonder how convinced he is of coming to us. I can see why we are interested, but he may well fancy trying for a bigger move next summer on a free.

Bigger than Villa?

Only in their heads!

Presumably Chelsea have the same June date to sell by as all other clubs who are close to the line.

[OCD]

30th June seems to be the date for everyone, even in Europe with teams like Sevilla needing to sell before that date.

Will players at the Euros allowed to be distracted by transfer talk? Surely Gallagher wouldn't talk to us til England exit in the quarters?

And ffs, Unai is still working, let the man have a few weeks of summer to himself. No Villa allowed.

He doesn't seem someone like who's able to fully switch off.

What wife would stand for this?

She's just glad to be out of the two-hour family analysis sessions.

It would take a special woman to be married to him. Wouldn't surprise me if she had her own team going on Football Manager. Being demanding of them in her way.

Haha.

She's probably like my other half and just lets him crack on with it.

When we first met, he would text me on an evening or weekend and ask what I was doing, and it was always "Working and listening to the White Album", or "Watching Wall-E and eating dinner".

He told me years later he thought I was being secretive and didn't want to tell him what I was really doing, but he knows now I really was working and or watching / listening to the same thing over and over.

Not everyone can deal with us obsessives!

[Sexual Ealing]

Has he got a wife/partner?

[Dogtanian]

Luiza Fernandez, married since 1998.

[Sexual Ealing]

My God, she must be some woman.

[Brend'Watkins]

My God, she must be some woman.

She's lived with his obsession for some time, it pays well,  Unai is happy as is she I assume. Besides, if he's so wrapped up in football he will be less demanding in the bedroom.

Great player......but why would they not sell to Man United, as Nice is owned by Sir Jim?
