It's not that unpopular, if we are going to spend around 50 mil on that position I'd choose Gallagher over Ramsey as well, but if we could spend more and get someone better that would be ideal.
I see part of his medical is having his temperature taken…..God the thermometers are small these days.
Farke loved him too.
Whilst Oli could be a starter at a mid table prem club, he could be the difference for Leeds to lock down an automatic promotion spot.
It'll be interesting to see if we loan him to Leeds to help with their financial woes as a sweetener for any deal with Gray.

I think it highlights that if you are a top young player you shouldn't play under 21s. Go to a League 1 or a Championship team and play against men each week. Develop your game and get exposure. Moore and Hall are ahead those other lads now.
Where would you play him?
CM/LW and now … LB
I'd prefer to sign Jack Grealish! He'd have a field day and move Sonny to striker. At 28 Grealish might be a bit old for Ange to sign tho.
Eze is a much better number 10 than he is a winger. We already have a good 10. Unless he or Maddison could play as an 8 I don't think we'd try for him and I don't think he would come here to play out of his best position.
Just a hunch but I reckon he goes straight into the first team, in midfield. Definitely more confident of that than Bergvall doing so (though I have high hopes for him too).
Wow... that's a big call. Gray straight into the starting team ahead of Bissouma. Not sure about that one.
Gray, Bergvall, Bentancur & Sarr... pretty good looking midfield options right there
I can't see us scoring with that front three.
Sonny is definitely starting. Either winger or striker.
Gray and Bergvall are two 18 year olds who have one season’s experience at Championship level between them.
I don’t see them as a serious option for an EPL 6/8 ( IF we sign Gray) until 25/26/27?
To expect them to come in and replace Bissouma/ Bentancur in the short term isn’t realistic. If they stay with the club then I’d think Cup games and bench minutes…..
They could get minutes in Europa, but yeah people are probably getting a bit ahead of themselves. Even if they are ready, clubs have hierarchies, look at how much time it took Sarr to break through.
Nobody in our team ever did that to Chelsea.
Size plus skills, kid looks like an absolute stud.
I’m into it- not sure how it fits into our current group of CMs, but who cares? He looks as good as any of our CMs right now.
Why? Bissouma has been shite for the vast majority of his time here and is reportedly up for sale. His place in the line up definitely isn't assured and even if Gray doesn't nail a starting spot I wouldn't be surprised if Bentancur is ahead of Bissouma in the #6 next season.
In any case, if Gray is used in midfield I don't think it'll be as a solo #6, at least not initially - too much responsbility for an 18 year old to take on. More likely it'll be in the #8 or playing in a double pivot with Bentancur, or sometimes as a utility fullback when one of Porro or Udogie is out injured. But I could absolutely see him competing with Sarr for that B2B spot in midfield straight away.
