    The problem all this is that Conor is a massive Chelsea fan so he might not be too happy to move. Not that he might have too much choice of course.

    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.

    he is now one of the best midfielders in the country, potentially the new Frank Lampard, AND we taught him all he knows lol  o:)

    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.

    Just scored a lovely left footed curler into the top corner at Villa Park…

    That equaliser might help Spurs get a Champions League place, which might be attractive for him if Chelsea want to flog him to Spurs...

    Sounds like he might be on his way to Atletico Madrid.

    Conor Gallagher playing for Diego Simeone - sounds brilliant to me.

    Crazy transfer policy from Chelsea. Sign 30 South American kids and fund it by selling homegrown first team players.

    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.

    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!

    Do Charlton get a development fee?

    Gallagher is the most Simeone player I can think of, would do really well there, hope he goes

    I would have thought so no ? Pretty sure rules do include loan clubs, although does that mean Palace get a cut too ?

    For having him on loan?

    I thought we got a cut of someone recently for the same reason, loan clubs are part of the development process now I'm sure.
