Short term thinking. Does anyone realise that Ange sees Gallagher as a cog to fit into his system, and that will improve themteamGallagher isn't good enough to be a starter for us. He's mediocre. Lacks the quality on the ball required for a top player. However, he would be a great rotation option or substitute to see out games because of his off the ball work.
But why would he want to join us as a squad player? Chelsea will reluctantly sell as he is easily replaced. Their fans will complain as he's one of their own. The owners will sell to anyone to make some money/ffp profit.
I think he is a smokescreen for a different target. One of Paratici's many deals to get the best price/player. I think Ange will want players that are better with the ball at their feet than Gallagher.
