Never been huge on the idea of Gallagher!
He shows excellent energy and is decent but i do prefer the idea of someone mpre confident on the ball.
Colwill i am pretty sure we wont be showing any interest in either. We currently have 5 centre halves with none of them showing any interest from other clubs. Throw in already having a centre back the same age as him in Branthwaite at the club and Reece Welch spending alot of time with the first team, i dont think we have the finds availible for someone who wont be going straight into the team or someone we need to be patient with.
Broja appears to have his heart set on West Ham but he seems the most likely option from Chelsea, if West Ham get the Italian guy.
Ethan Ampadu would be my choice if we are asking Chelsea for all there players, would fit in that '6' position perfectly, and the fans would love his aggression.
Also think a loan move for Brandon Williams at United could be a good option. We have no back up left back (Nkounkou untried) & Coleman coming back from injury. Having a full back who can play both sides could come in handy!
I think if we could get Gibbs White over the line sooner rather than later, it could be evidence to these other potential targets we are trying to build a young progressive team and become a more exciting option.
Gallacher for me is very very like Lampard was at the same age, question would be is does he have the improvement in him which Lampard did as well - a 22 yo Lampard was way inferior to the one at 26+ as he added so much intelligence to his game
For me I really rate Gallacher hugely, think handled right he could go on to be very much a Lampard version 2, he has that ability to see space you don't get with many and can't teach, natural finisher and personality wise seems to have everything you want to see in terms of making the most out of what he's got.
I agree about Cowill, looks talented, but cb right now post
Tarkowski I feel is fine, good loan sorted for Braithwaite which hopefully sees him develop to be a part next season of the team, Godfrey I think post COVID/injury will improve a lot especially having good coaching staff and
Tarkowski here to learn from, so don't see the point of adding a 19yo who may not be ready yet.
Broja - dunno if he'd come here to be a backup to DCL tbh and certainly we can't spend 30m on a backup.
Ampadu is weird as he's not nailed down a position yet, DM seems his natural one but think last year on loan he pretty much played it as a cb.
Then you have Gilmour, plus the young AM we where linked with the other day - who I'd never heard of tbh and who knows who else is there under the radar at Chelsea as honestly never heard of any of the players above two seasons ago either - same with James and Mount a few years before that as well really.
