Does beg the question as to what they do for that long to still pass players fit.

And you wonder why the likes of Conte erupted at the meddling little git. It was never a case of getting who the manager wanted in, or what was best for the team.

It always had to be the Daniel Levy show.

Makes me ill to read this but why am I not surprised.

On the plus side the evil litttle shit has himself been shafted big time and is living in rich misery. This is the first Levyless window for 25 years, and this one’s over the line in a matter of a few days

This is so odd. He is a really good player like Maddison or Xavi but with a lot more physical presence. Issue is we then have Maddison, Xavi, this guy, Kulusevski and with Moore and Williams-Barnet coming through. 6 AM’s, which is great if we want to go for a more Pep style of player but fuck knows how Frank will deal with it. He hardly wants one playing.

I would love this guy to come in. We really need some more technical players who will get on the ball in tight spaces and make us play. We are far too predictable going forward
 
A sign of things to come is such a dumb statement.

Gallagher is an opportunistic purchase of a player out of favour, especially following bentancurs injury.

Having said that, I like what he brings to a team under the correct circumstances but his limitations need to be mitigated with technical quality
Opportunistic buys/gazumping is what we do.

Dragusin. Danso. Archie. Bergvall. Johnson. Bentancur. Kulu. Xavi. Kudus. Now Conor.

Reactive over proactive. Tactical over strategic. Always.

Akliouche can play on the left as well and in fact has significant amount of minutes there for Monaco, makes sense if we want to play a wide creator but seems odd to me to target a player who would do that from the left given we don't really have a bombing wing back on the left who we can reliably keep fit, unless this Souza is first team ready and fits that bill.
Not a bad player… not sure If he moves the needle, or if the player would fancy it

Actually think he could be a bang tidy CM, IDK if you can get away with him and Simons in the same midfield though, doesn't put himself about much so would need pairing up with IMO Gallagher and Palhinha but that could be a surprisingly effective and functional midfield actually, both Gallagher and Jones look to get the ball up the pitch much more than our current crop.

Can we really afford to put any faith in Madders & Kulu? These are major injuries. It could take them a year to fully recover and who knows if they'll ever reach the same levels.

Moore and Williams-Barnet are bright prospects but still very young. No reason to rush them along.

Akliouche would be a huge addition and bring a much needed technical boost to a squad that is inflated with athletes.
