The whole thing just makes no sense.

Aside from the facts you have stated, why would we be pursuing a Chelsea captain so vigorously, especially considering he is a bang average player?

If we were going to go for an expensive homegrown option we should have went for Phillips, who is far closer to what we need in midfield.

This obsession with Gallagher is just perplexing .

It’s how he will perform in our system.

Whether buying or selling, Chelsea’s valuation of players is absolutely insane - Look at the fees they have paid for their purchases and gotten for their sales.

Even if they need to sell to balance their FFP books, they have until 30 June which is when EPL FFP annual accounts close. So no way Chelsea sell cheap now - particularly with 18 months still left on Gallagher’s deal. Crazy Boehley probably genuinely believes Gallagher is worth 50M+ - after all he paid 80M+ for Mudryk, 65M+ for Cucurella, 115M for Caceido and received 65M for Havertz and 50M for Mount.

If Ange still wants him and Gallagher hasn’t signed an extension, we should go in for him in June with a lowball offer - when Blue Scum are desperate. It would be beyond stupid to pay Chav’s asking price of 50M+ now.

As for Ange wanting Gallagher - well Ange supposedly really wanted Brennan too - while it’s early that’s looking like big overpay at this point. So no reason to pay over the odds just cause Ange favors a player.

The window in June is short and if something happens to Gallagher say an injury they can’t sell or sell for much. They need the money for June 30th for FFP and having a two week summer window is a massive gamble. The media is constantly reporting Gallagher to us, Broja for sale, this is Chelsea shitting their pants and getting the word out they need sales now.
