Mark Kelly Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 20 minutes ago, Max Fowler said: Of course it is - selling Gallagher is about freeing up pure profit to spend on incomings. We are choosing to sell to Atletico and spend that cash on Felix. Therefore, my statement, "We forced Gallagher, a key player last season, to leave partly in order to sign a player our previous manager didn't want" is absolutely true. We could not agree a contract with him because we offered him a contract only to protect him as an asset to sell in a couple of years while we offer 8 and 9 year contracts to players who have done nothing for us in comparison with him. He also didn't want Palmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are you getting 50% from? It was a 2 year deal which basically screams you’re not in our long term plans but we must protect our asset. The club wanted shot of Gallagher and anyone who says otherwise is being disingenuous. If he didn’t have 1 year left on his deal, we all know he would currently be getting the Sterling / Chalobah treatment. I like Felix as a player but this is another absolutely pointless signing whilst our GK remains Sanchez and Guiu remains our number 2 striker. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're saying you have a source that's much more reliable than Ornstein and many others but refuse to say who it is. Sky Sports was just one of those articles I posted.

Agreed, but he is leaving because he has a year left and will not sign whatever we have offered. Better to sell now for £34m than £0m in a year. He is not leaving because we wanted Felix. Felix wasn't even on the radar a week ago and Gallagher was still leaving then. If the Felix deal fell through, Gallagher would still be leaving.

Chelsea_Matt Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 (edited) Joao Felix? I’d rather have Felix The Cat. Just when this shitshow of a club couldn’t get worse, they prove that they’ve totally lost their minds. Wouldn’t surprise me if they sold Palmer to accommodate another lightweight weakling primadonna who isn’t suited to the PL. 🤬🤬🤬🤬 Edited August 19 by Chelsea_Matt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Felix deal fell through, Gallagher would still be leaving. Because what we offered is a short-term deal to protect the asset to sell in a couple of years. Of course he would have taken a longer deal like everyone else. I'm not sure Gallagher would leave if Felix fell through - he wouldn't go to Spurs and Atletico is the perfect club for him. Are there any clubs still interested in him that he would go to? In a way you're arguing against yourself - it looks like Omorodion fell through and we panicked and went for Felix. Of course I cannot prove that, but it's what it looks like. I am not saying we sold Gallagher precisely in order to buy Felix. I am saying we sold Gallagher to free up funds and spent it on Felix - you are being a bit pedantic mate 🙂 Edited August 19 by Max Fowler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleeping Dave Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 5 hours ago, Bison said: Doubt it. Dewsbury-Hall has 3 goals in 60 Premier League appearances. A 21 year old Gallagher scored 8 on loan at Palace. If we didn't sign Maresca as manager would Dewsbury-Hall have ever been on the club's radar? No disrespect to the player but we all know the answer to that. Yep. Or… They are doing all they can to cement our place as a midtable club. KDH fits the bill. Perhaps part of the master plan? 2 hours ago, thevelourfog said: Absolutely insane we're buying a player we didn't take up an option on a year ago so in order to fund the sale of another. Reflects terribly on us specifically, but also says a whole lot about football more generally and none of it good. It does, doesn’t it? 2 hours ago, Blue Orca said: Well, we are going to find out as it looks like he will be playing a part this season unless we sign a main forward. We sure will. Mark my words, Guiu is years away from making a meaningful contribution. 2 hours ago, Max Fowler said: It's an easy excuse to blame the state of football. As an example, City sold Palmer because he wanted to leave and wasn't getting minutes. We forced Gallagher, a key player last season, to leave partly in order to sign a player our previous manager didn't want. It's a unique situation. It’s certainly is unique. We are the worst run football club in Europe. Imagine taking a recent CL winner and doing everything in your power to make it a midtable side? That is essentially what they are doing. I have no idea how they think this will yield success. 1 hour ago, McCreadie said: No we didn't. Gallagher is leaving because we cannot agree a contract with him and he is in his last year. End of. Whoever else we end up signing, Omorodion, Felix etc is nothing to do with Gallagher leaving. It is to do with making a deal with Atletico. If Gallagher was going to Spurs and we didn't want any of their crap players, he would still be leaving. If you believe that, you’ll believe anything. They have openly tried to shop him around for the best part of 18 months. Any contract offered was solely to protect their asset. No intention of having him play a key part this season.

chara Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Hard to see what THEY are trying to do,,hands on with two puppets on a string but not knowing anything about the game?..Solely Business focused allowing two somewhat questionable "experts" chart the course and my worry trying to run the Club based on the NFL etc model,because it works over here?,,or a totally different blue print we are not privy to? I'm as bewildered as everyone as I watch MY club, whilst always something of a whimsical entity,,even under RA,,,being totally demolished with no clear idea of what will emerge from the rubble....mindful of some of the social and construction failures of rebuilding bomb damaged London and "Urban Renewal: etc OG memory..moved to Basingstoke as part of the London Overspill project.about 1970 ...local young lady friend sadly asking what had happened to her town, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
