Chelsea have a link up with Vitesse, Mason Mount was out there not too long ago.Sillybilly said:Rumours linking him with a loan move to Vitesse Arnhem this morning. In the Sun mind you so probably rubbish.1 -
Yep, no issues with Gallagher getting out when he did, even if he didn't want to. It was best for his career.2

Yes, the news from the last couple of days gives a whole new perspective to the events in Januarycarly burn said:If Karl Robinson knew we had a transfer embargo in January you can bet your bottom bollock Frank Lampard knew.
We needed bodies to help the likes of Gallagher.
Lampard did exactly the right thing getting his top lad away from this impending shit show!1 -
Gallagher has bombed since he left us. As have we. Gilmour has almost made him a bit player for Chelsea.0

Swansea 18th in the form table for the last 10 games, where as Charlton are 10th.
Don't know a terrible amount about Swansea or the manager to really comment, but I wonder if Chelsea/Gallagher still think its was a good move for him and his development?
His loss appears to be Albie Morgans gain, who has come back from lockdown looking a different animal.13 -

Not sure if he is playing deeper for them but that is some difference1 -
Swansea cost me £143 in a £1 accy today. My only loser.
Gallagher should have stayed under Bowyers guidance. He left just as out better players were returning from injury.4 -

He had to have agreed, otherwise the move would not have been possible, he may have been coerced / persuaded, but not forced.ross1 said:

Gallagher is a cracking player and from all accounts a great young kid too.
You can't blame him or his agents for wanting to get him out of the freak show with Mouthall and the Brassic Arab in January given they would have been well across the situation.
He only has eight games left at Swansea and I doubt he'll play in the Championship again, probably get a Premier League loan deal next season at the likes of Brighton or Saints.1 - Sponsored links:

A move to a side chasing the play offs whilst linking up with his old England manager and a couple of his old England youth team mates.0 -
They took him back because Southall tried to sell him to Barcelona for £20 million.8

I think he'll be back in the Championship next season if he's time at Swansea doesn't go too well.Ormiston_Addick said:Gallagher is a cracking player and from all accounts a great young kid too.

Everytime I've dipped into the Swansea forum, it's always been a common theme from many posters that they believe Steve Cooper to not be a great manager.
They think with the players they have they should be doing far better than results suggest.

Wrong. If a young player is told by his parent club to move, you move. I know for a fact Connor wanted to stay at Charlton but was told no.Stu_of_Kunming said:

An article in todays 'Sun'
Charlton fans were gutted when Chelsea recalled him in January to send him to Swansea.
He explained: “It happened very quickly. Chelsea thought sending me to Swansea was better for my development and it’s turned out well.
“I had a great time at Charlton. It was a homely club and I made a lot of great friends there. Hopefully they can stay up, they had a lot of injuries and problems with the ownership, so had a lot to contend with.

Such a shame we couldn’t have him until the end of this season. Top player and a top guy it seems.

Shouldn't have pissed off half way through his loan, can't be that gutted.2

Sorry but that's ridiculous. He would have had absolutely zero say in the matter. And clubs like Chelsea take a proper interest in what they have loaned out. Swansea will beat Brentford over 2 legs.Athletico Charlton said:Shouldn't have pissed off half way through his loan, can't be that gutted.24 -

He joined us to learn from players around him in a team that would hopefully hold their own in the division. Not Dempsey, Davison, Morgan, Doughty. Lapslie or Vennings. He already had more experience than them. When he left we tried to replace him with the likes of Green, McGeady, Smith and Davis. Those moves sum up exactly where we were at the time and why Chelsea insisted that he do so.
The side he joined is now in the play offs and he was instrumental in getting them there last night - that was his 45th game of the season. And he might now go back to them next year as a Premier League player.
It's only because Gallagher is a success story and not someone like Smith who wasn't up to it that people are getting upset by his message. Credit to him for sending it. He didn't have to. And good luck to him in the future.

I know it went wonky in the end when the injuries kicked in and he ended getting overplayed and kicked all over the park , let’s be honest he looked a class act, a joy to watch and the best by a mile we’ve seen at the valley in many a year.Very good technically at such a young age, I hope he has a bright future, and Lee helped play a small part in giving him his first break, hope he gets to pull on an England shirt in the future.25

Class from the youngster...shame he wasn’t allowed to finish the season with us,may have helped us to safety...hope he carries on & has a fantastic career ahead of him...DoctorCharlton said:Such a shame we couldn’t have him until the end of this season. Top player and a top guy it seems.10 -
Gallagher was in one of the few situations in football where the players don't have all the power, Chelsea said jump and he had to jump. We really missed him, somehow we seemed to play about 20 yards further up the pitch when he was there. Good luck to him.

Pathetic. I don’t know why I’m wasting time replying to this, He was recalled by his Parent club and sent elsewhere.Athletico Charlton said:Shouldn't have pissed off half way through his loan, can't be that gutted.We can’t hate every player that leaves us!!!!!6 -
If the season was played in reverse he would have got player of the year.7

I think the loss of Gallagher can't be understated on the way our season ended up. Possibly more critical than Taylor spitting his dummy out tbh. Had we kept hold of Conor I think we'd have still been in the mix but having a midfielder who knows how to score would've taken some pressure off our forwards.10

You're way off here. Gallagher literally said "Chelsea thought sending me to Swansea was better for my development and it’s turned out well".Athletico Charlton said:Shouldn't have pissed off half way through his loan, can't be that gutted.
As it turned out, Chelsea were spot on. Gallagher was playing with half of our U23 squad at the time in a side that was getting turned over most weeks, so it was a no brainer for Chelsea to think that wasn't great for his development. He's left and gone to help Swansea claim a play off spot, and potentially a premier league place.
The player can't be blamed at all.7 -
Totally agree and his energy and pace were fantastic. Loved watching him play. I wish him well and hope he has a successful career. Thanks for all your efforts, Connor.Bournemouth Addick said:I think the loss of Gallagher can't be understated on the way our season ended up.
