Winter 25-26 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

[olaftab]

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.

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

At this stage in our progression why would we want a player who couldn't get in to AM team? Specially at horrific wage.

[London Villan]

He would be a useful squad player, who would be back up for McGinn - energy, can pick a pass and scores the odd goal. Never a starter if everyone is fit - but with our fixtures would have been an asset. But not for £200k per week.

He'll coast along at Spurs, like so many players do, then start trading down the clubs he plays for. See Chilwell, Alli, Johnson, Sessegnon....

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

Average. Always thought that IMO.
I was more excited that Kamara was only a few weeks out than the seemingly strong links of him signing for us yesterday.

We've been consistently linked to him, but I've always thought he lacked calmness on the ball which you'd think is the first pre-requisite for playing in our midfield.

No revision on my part.

I must admit I can't recollect his performances for Chelsea, I only remember that one season for Palace when he scored for fun from midfield. He always looks way out of his depth at International level though, so unless a manager can improve his technique I wonder if he will be good enough?

I have always been impressed with Wharton at Palace, but I thought he looked sloppy on the ball for England, whereas Anderson from Forest looks very assured and has slotted into that team very well.

It is funny but I thought Anderson looked Meh for Forest against us

For England, he has had barely any pressure applied against him by the opposition unlike at Forest this season.

He might be off to warm the bench and watch his career nosedive at Citeh according to the gossip.

We have one of the best midfields in the country. Our standards are high. Gallagher isn't getting into our first choice midfield and he isn't even our first sub for it either.

[VILLA MOLE]

Super coach though , makes everyone better

[Beard82]

At which point does our financial restrictions become less of an issue?  We have a net spend of 0 and our wages most be down. 

Our revenue is presumably up - albeit that there is a bit of a gap due to being in a lower league. 

Just feels that at some point surely we will get into a place where we can spend some money

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

There’s a chance he might be seen as a long term replacement for Rodri bit always a chance of your career going down the pan but they’re all supremely confident in their ability.

[LeeS]

My only memory of Gallagher was the goal he scored in the 2-2 at VP a couple of years ago. I’d rather forget him to be honest.

I'd gone for a piss and missed it, was sat with Risso and it was honestly a good 5 minutes before I realised they'd scored.
