Onana over Midtablegher every day.  Only thing against Onana right now is fitness - if he can stay fit he’s worth the £50m we paid. 

Yes I think he has a very high ceiling but everytime he starts to move towards it he gets injured.  Fingers crossed he has a better run at it when he comes back

Is that Delap fella at Man city up for a loan to buy? I’d take him to replace Malen.

I guess it would defeat the objective, as he’d be on big wages and Man city probably won’t want him at a rival.

I just can’t see Tammy being the answer.

If we can keep Malen I just don't see any point in letting him go this window, especially as Unai takes ages to settle players in unless they are top drawer like Rashford. Inn fact up top of Alyson is reasonably close, I would be ok with not getting any further players in for the forward roles. Guessand will be back, Buendia, Malen, Rogers, Watkins are all there

We are a midfielder light in our formation squad wise though, based on the fact that there is a heavy work load and we do pick up injuries in there, so getting an extra capable body in is very important to keep progressing in the cups and hold on to top 4 league wise.

Much more concerned about midfield and right back than up top.

Re: Gallagher, I think have I ever said or thought he is just the player we need over the past few years. The answer is no. Not that bothered and if he sees more game time at Spurs then that says more about where the two clubs are right now.
Would be sad about Malen as he seems to fit in here but he won’t want to be a sub for ever.

Re Tammy, Ornstein says we like him, he likes us, but he's a high earner. He may move either to us or somewhere else, or he might not. Amazing he can sit behind a desk with so many splinters in his arse (journo, not Tammy).

I am glad we're not paying Gallagher £200k per week to wear a bib and clap Tielemans, Kamara, Onana, McGinn or Barkley as they do something on the pitch he cannot. £200k. Jaysus.

I was only down with it as the manager wanted him, I don't really rate him, puppy chasing a balloon.He'll fit in well at Spurs.

Average footballer, expensive and not an area we really need another player.

He was excellent at Palace. But has never hit those heights since although he was playing as an 8 and Chelsea seemed to play him a lot deeper.
I can understand why we wanted him at the right price but looks like Spurs gave gazzumped us.

Let’s not rewrite his ability,  he is a good player good engine physicality and score goals .  But if he would rather go there off you fuck . As ever we will have other options
