Guess we'll find out if we do want him and if this flushes us out like Brentford did with Gray. So much for Chelsea demanding £50m

Good move for him and Chelsea I imagine - much more suited to Simeone ball and he doesn't get sold to a rival.
I think if we truly wanted Gallagher and he wanted to come here, it'd got done. I just have the feeling Gallagher never wanted to leave Chelsea to come here and that's what always held it up
I think I’d prefer him to Neto. Although maybe we could try and sign a winger who won’t be in the treatment room half the time he is with us. That would be nice.

Nothing ever changes in this club. We all know we needed intent and the board to back the manager but the usual manager quote of we're trying to do deals is trotted out. We all know how this goes even the hardcore enic fans (even though they'll still fight for enic/Levy) know how this is going to end. We need a striker we need a winger we won't get anything of the quality needed and it'll all go to shit again next season. Rinse and repeat/ change manager that needs time again.
Last time this happened we got VDV and Brennan Johnson, I'd be happy with getting equivalent transfers again.
Do you think Bayern Munich fans cared that they signed Harry Kane a few days before the season started?
Players will come and Ange himself has made it clear we know who we want and haven’t shifted that focus. I am sure we will see movement soon, probably when we’re back from SK.
But what if a couple of the youngsters have really made us sit up and take notice and we’re now considering whether we need a £50m option somewhere? Is that such a bad thing?

You are right. The youngsters have definitely improved the depth of the squad and maybe even the starting side.
I don't think we're in for Gallagher.
I still think we might get Eze. Agree re striker.
Not a bad thing at all. It's what we should be wanting/aiming for. No point in having promising youngsters if we're not going to play/develop them. Looks like one or two might be more ready now than was previously anticipated, which is great!
Also I'm confident that both Archie Gray and Bergvall will see plenty of first team minutes this season.
I was just thinking the same. I really suspect we wanted to wait until the end of the window to push the price down further. Seems they do still want to sell though going by this.
On the one hand, clearly we have a valuation that their original offers fell way short of so yes...
On the other hand, he's absolutely fucking dreadful and we're lucky they are mental enough to offer us anything more than a bag of out of date Quavers for him, so maybe not???
Assumes GLC, Emerson, Reggie and Skipp all move on.
I don’t see any chatter about Skipp leaving after a (single?) very speculative link to Leeds — seems to be this thread’s wishful thinking and I highly doubt he’s going anywhere — and there’s been no news on GLC for weeks — another last minute subsidized loan?

You've absolutely nailed it their, my friend.
Not transfer related , but relevant to your point
I remember a few years ago, despite the protestations of Poch, Levy insisting Spurs take part in some meaningless pre season tournament over in Germany where we played Bayern literally a couple of days before we kicked our season off at Old Trafford.
We duly lost. 1 -0 I think.... A precious 3 points down the jotter.
One of many many many examples of our disgraceful ownership prioritising their stated ojective of prioritising profit, money, and financial exploitation over what matters to the fans....... .results on the pitch.

Also Gallagher going to Atléti for €35m… I guess Ange wasn’t that keen after all?
I don't think West Ham is the level of club he's looking for.
