The issue with Gallagher is although he’s very good, I’m not sure he works in a midfield two. Given Chelsea play 343 I can see him becoming available, but if we will too (as we have been) then he might not work for us either. So is he good enough to change system to a midfield three? Possibly but it’s a big call to accommodate one player.

Watched two of Chelsea's preseason games mate, he really really doesn't suit a 'tuchel' two man Midfield where the onus is both of them acting like a pivot it looks like he's scared to go forward and kills what actually makes him look a great prospect.

A two men midfield that presses high with almost one if the cb stepping up behind them - think he could work in that setup or as in a 5-2-3 with really narrow 'wide players,' in that role too or in any 3 man mid.

Just not in a two where the onus is on being disciplined and holding your defensive position at the expense of other parts of your game.

In short I'd have him like a shot, him and Gueye in a 2 man midfield would be risky but the workrate and pressing they both bring would cause nightmares to play through or around.
 

Be interesting assuming he's signed by say weds, if lampard puts him straight in against Chelsea. If he's fit he should probably play as we have a better chance, but what does that do to the confidence of the others in the squad? Davies and Allan been working hard to get fit during pre season after injury.....

Make no difference we should get a fee for him.

It'll likely take a knock although balance that out with the needs of the team. Gana is still likely a far superior player than Davies and Allan is struggling.
