January Transfer Window 2023

[ValBlue]

Hes class, young high energy, international energy and scores goals

ok…that doesn’t answer the question of where in a 442 will he play, or what player drops out or how our productivity on the wing will improve? Every time I’ve watched Chelsea this season he’s been below par imo. The goals have dried up (sounds perfect for us then actually)

 

[ToffeeTim]

Ffs we wouldnt be giving Chelsea 40mil up front!!
We can sign Gallagher AND others !!!!

Up front means very little for fair play rules

You amortise the full fee whether you pay it all up front or over many years. The total ascertainable amount is what matters, not the payment plan.

From a cash flow perspective, it might be very helpful to pay over time - that's very fair comment. But it's our P&L sustainability position which is very poor.

 

[Alan Whittle]

Connor Gallagher is not a creative midfielder.

Ok mate.

 

[DanEFC92]

We need about 3 players at least. Trust Everton to spunk our budget on one.

 

[trueblue84]

Haven’t seen Zaha mentioned on here for a while. As you’re a bit flush now...


.... runs,....hides.

Is he old enough/injured enough to join Everton yet?

I think we're best waiting til he's 33 and has exploded knees.

 

[Tony101]

Good player is Gallagher he would have been a great buy in the summer for Franks 433 now we are going to play 442. We need a striker and a right winger more than anything.

Ok. Still £80m though yeah?

 

[Pat Butcher]

Hes class, young high energy, international energy and scores goals




In a Chelsea setup...in a Palace setup he was class.

Dyche has also played 433.



He is to us though to complete our midfield.

He is, but he isn't what's needed, he isn't great at passing and isn't great at recieving passes

 

[Azza]

Outstanding!

 

[Librarian]

Says to me that we have a buyer for Doucoure

 

[Tony’s Carp]

He's worth more than Gordon.

This is why the domestic market isn’t where we should be. Why would Chelsea take less than we demanded for Gordon? The whole market is distorted.

Even if we are inclined to drop 40 on one player we’d surely get more bang shopping abroad? Kudus?

 

[ToffeeTim]

Everton make £45m offer for Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher

Everton have made a £45million offer to sign Conor Gallagher from Chelsea. The Toffees are desperately looking for cover after losing Anthony Gordon to Newcastle.

www.dailymail.co.uk

Everton have submitted a £40m proposal - plus £5m in add-ons - but Gallagher has decided he will not move to Goodison Park and the Toffees are aware of that.

Why bid for a player who has told you they aren't interested lol

 

[BringBackBigSam]

He's only been poor for Chelsea because he has no technical ability and so is absolutely useless when teams sit back against them which is the majority of teams they play because they're a top side.

We're not a top side, we're not even a good side, we're worse than Palace were Gallagher shined.

Teams will be open and come out against us and Gallaghers work rate and tenacity will help us a lot in the midfield battle he'll be much better here.

 

[MikeH72]

If they’ve left it til January 30th to come up with Conor Gallagher then I want the heads of every single person on the recruitment team right now.

 

[trueblue84]

Ok. Still £80m though yeah?

Oh, defo. Deadline day in January 2026 when we've just appointed the ghost of Gary megson as our 15th manager to save us from certain relegation.
