Presume they've backed themselves into a corner with FFP and selling an academy product helps them out.
Crazy way to run a club. Would be a very good signing for Spurs.
Yup if they get 50 mill for him thats straight off the FFP , whereas by signing the flops for £80m over 8 years , it gets amortised down by £10m a year , so if they don't sell him for £70m after year 1 they are making a loss........dangerous game these 8 year contracts
Why would poch make him captain if they were going to sell him? If he is available, Spurs should definitely go for it, would be a perfect foil for Maddison

To make it difficult for his bosses to sell him. Poch wants him to stay , the powers to be may want to him to go for FFP
I’ve probably said this before but as I understand it he’s not keen on going too far from home. He didn’t enjoy being away from his family when at WBA which is the only club he didn’t excel at.
He’s close with his three brothers and lives in his home town near Chelsea’s training ground. If he were to leave I’d expect him to want a London club.
Probably in a minority but whilst I think he's a good player, I think 50mil is decent business for Chelsea. Box to box midfielders are dying out a little bit, it's no longer a game of 442 where the CM's take it in turns to get forward. If you're playing a 433, you generally have 2 holding and one attacking. Gallagher is behind Enzo and with Lavia and Caicedo as the DM's, I've always though he would end up going.

He is better than Lavia, and, on form, better than Caceido imo

What about Swansea?
Yeah I think the same applies. I know he didn't want to go on account of being happy at Charlton. I don't know if he got homesick but he wasn't there long.
Gallagher has been Chelsea's best player IMO in the games I have watched.....would be crazy to let him go.....
They need to sell him for financial reasons I imagine
Ain't there different rules for English players who have come through the ranks?
not sure different rules but get more of a benefit
if they sold him and another player both for 50m but had bought the other player for 30m, their FFP pot would only increase by 20m for the other player sale, whereas Chelsea get the full 50m credit for selling Gallagher

Think they have a really small time window to flog him as well. The FFP cut of date for this season is 30th June and the transfer window last year opened around the 14th June.
On the pitch seems a great fit, but do wonder how he would get on given the homesick issues previously. Madrid a bit different to Swansea and Birmingham as a place to live!

Once an addick always an addick.

Conor Gallagher playing for Diego Simeone - sounds brilliant to me.
And all whilst still not addressing the same issue they've had for at least 2 years now, which is that they don't have a top level striker.
Their current first team squad (according to wiki) has 46 players.
