Seen a bit of discussion about Gilmour here. My opinion on him: He's clearly got a bit about him in terms of pass appreciation and dictating tempo as well as moving the ball quickly. However, he's not got much of a shot on him, doesn't drive past players (beyond a feint here and there) and has...
As it stands, I can't see us willing to part with either permanently before Tuchel has had a look at least. I do think Colwill is likely to be loaned out on account of his age however - especially if we're able to get two CBs in quickly. Gallagher is a bit more tricky, we've got at least 4 guys...

There was a fair bit of noise today that the takeover would be completed this week (supposedly the next few days). So, I reckon that obstacle won't pose a problem much longer.. But really, having watched Everton play this season - I reckon the other need is for one of the Chelsea midfielders...

In the interview it didn't sound anything like that - just threw some names about how when they go forward, they'd have to assess the situation for themselves(but within the structure of the system). Also said that Donny and Dele can play together(in some flexible system or something) and that...
