Shame that racist mug got injured or I'm pretty sure Simeone & Atleti would've gone for a straight swap.

Honestly not sure Ive seen him play, know basically nothing about him - other than a few of you guys seem to like the idea
He would be very foolish to move here. He needs the ball played to feet rather than Porro or Vicario hoofing long balls at him.
He is also genuinely on the cusp of the world cup squad (more likely than not right now) and moving to a dysfunctional team, in a new league, in a new country is not going to help him.
He should wait until the summer.
Nope there's some rule in the league there about teams having no more than three non-EU players, it's probably why Gallagher was up for sale.
Think gallagher is reasonable signing given the circumstances.
It's not screaming ambition to win titles but in line with the kind of business we've always done and if paired with a deep lying playmaker or consistent number 10, could be a shrewd signing

Wouldn't be surprised if Bentancur has got a Spanish or Italian passport.
He was fcuking awful.
I can't recall many players being a) so bad but b) still being played so much.
There was a CL match, I think Poch was still there, and he was beyond shocking. Every time he got the ball he lost it immediately. Night have been the 2-2 away to Olympiacos
Daniel Levy should never have had any say whatsoever.
If the Lewisisisisis stance is "if the manager wants him, then fine" then they're already doing a better job.
I would go as far as to say I don't even care if the chairman is right or wrong, it's not his job to decide.
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

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.
Why?
If it's a sign that we go and pay the money for what we need, then it's a good thing.
When have we previously identified a viable target and just coughed up without haggling for weeks on end?
Edit - all of the bolded bit was added after I clicked quote.
Are you having similar troubles with the forum to me on your phone?
Our medicals historically take 48 hours. Then our media team takes a week to film a 5 word introduction.
Opportunistic only in the timing really. Gallagher’s a player we’ve clearly followed for years. Ange was very keen to get him in his first transfer window back in summer 2023z
If he's French it will happen. Someones after
LeParisien
I think the club needs to stick to a direction, and employ managers and players to suit it, rather than chopping and changing everything for a new manager. If Frank likes Gallagher well that's fine but I don't think he's the sort of manager we want with all this cautiousness. If the club (and it should) opt for a more free-flowing, possession based, attacking football, then it needs to get players for that. I'm not suggesting Gallagher isn't that but fuck what Frank wants if he's being sacked at the end of the season.
