I follow why Chelsea moved Gallagher on but I disagree that it was necessarily "better for his development"
Being part of a struggling team and being the main man in that team would've been just as good for his development. Having to work twice as hard doesn't mean it makes you a worse player. In fact, you could argue that it helps you grow up a little bit faster.
Just as I never got all the "Bob Peeters will ruin Karlan Grant by putting him in the team so early" talk. Young players want to play, they're hungry and look at Karlan Grant now; only 22 but with 150 league appearances behind him and no doubt looking at an eye-watering new contract somewhere. I should imagine he's grateful to Bob Peeters for putting him, when he did. If he isn't, he ought to be.

"We had to get Connor out of there because the place was descending into farce with the alleged takeover and we feared for his long-term health, both physical and mental.
Oh, and Swansea offered us a shit-load of cash to have him."7 -

Wish Connor all the best,he run his legs off for us,but I think his future is away from Chelsea,they have too many midfielders and are still buying.1

We needed a goalscorer and I'd have bet he'd have scored against fucking Shrewsbury when the rest couldn't manage a worthwhile strike in 3hrs0 -
Mendonca In Asdas said: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.0

He will tear it up there in a decent team. In fact whoever it is I might adopt as my Bundesliga team ( unless its Bayern 😉)4 -

This is what happens when your team is built upon loans0

The issue we keep having is the fact that EVERY summer Gallen is having to rebuild virtually the whole time
Last year he said it couldnt keep happening and that we needed stability within the squad, unfortunately thanks to the owners it has happened again so we're almost back to square one again
Just imagine what we could have done this season with a few improvements to the whole team we had last year?15 -

They enable clubs to boost their squad with quality they couldn’t afford to buy. We could never have afforded Bielik or Gallagher.I’m in agreement with Forever though, it cannot be a rebuild every summer. Or in our case, every window due to the loss of Grant and Gallagher particularly over the last winter windows. You need to keep the core but I don’t think the loan system has been our problem, it’s been losing players like Grant, Aribo and Bauer for next to nothing and then not having any money at all to replace them.Both Leeds and West Brom had multiple loans and it didn’t do them any harm.4

He'll be behind Ziyech, Havertz, Mount and Barkley so will hardly get a look in.
Chelsea have a first team squad of over 40 players so will be loaning/selling quite a few over the next few weeks.1 -
i'm reliably informed we would have been getting one of chelsea's shining midfield academy stars on loan had we not been relegated - he's been on the first team bench there for a few games recently and is a few years younger than gallagher0

Would that have been a full season loan or one where they take him away at a moments notice?5 -
