mctominay would make zero sense. not only is he not good enough and massively overpriced, we are stacked in midfield and if anything need to offload one or two.
i would be shocked if that happened.
hes a west ham level midfielder at best.
I think it makes sense for both clubs to let the rumour run. Puts some pressure on Fulham for McTominay and Chelsea for Gallagher. Assuming Fulham and Chelsea put any credibility in the rumour. Personally I don't.
