23. Conor Gallagher

Another one.

Not sure why no one is mentioning it but his goal against Watford was class. The control and composure in the box.

Miles ahead of Mount you cannot even compare them.

Viera is bound to request that Chelsea clear Connor to play in the semi-final. What do people think, should we?

Yes. We'd look like mugs to deny this kind of opportunity for him. 

This will also give us evidence on how he performs in big stages.

I thought the FA had introduced some rule banning this like they do with the league.

 

EDIT

Best source I could find without having to do much digging:

Looks like he cannot even if the club gives permission.

Thanks.

The linked article sounds authoritative. Assuming it is correct then that is that.

sure, I say give him a chance to prove he is a big stage player

there are only 2 players on the planet I would love to dodge if/when we play their teams

because they are the two most single important players (to their teams) on the planet and I HATE one team, and dislike the other

Benz

Lewa

they are also the 2 best CF's on the planet atm as well

De Bruyne is damn close to me saying him as well, BUT his loss is not as vital to Citeh as those 2 would be to Real and Barca, especially Benz for Real

on the other hand we will also look like mugs if Conor scores the winner against us. I still remember Morientes while on loan at Monaco, scoring against Real in 2004 and knocking them out of CL, and may i remind you of a certain snake who was on loan at Atletico and helped knock us out in 2014.

I reiterate what i've been saying for months, Gallagher is Kante's successor. 

[ZAPHOD2319 4,477]

Starting next season we go from three substitutions to five. It will allow midfielders to go all out pressing knowing if they get gassed there is a substitute coming. Also will allow more minutes for younger players. That rule change will help Conor get minutes and allow him to all out press when on the pitch.

He can learn a lot from playing / training with NG.

Most of us waiting for him and Broja like air.

Take more than just Broja and Gallagher though.

Even at the beginning of the season Broja was never going to be the man or enough to lead our attack every week when trying to compete for a title when some suggested it (although clearly it is fair to say neither is Lukaku). 

Both have had good seasons so far but I think we would all like to have seen them play like this, in the PL, at this level, for longer than 1 year. I would imagine one will definitely be involved with the squad whilst another maybe on loan again to keep progressing based on how many loans they’ve had already.

I mean look at when the guys came in under Frank, they were a breath of fresh air for a while then we hit a wall with inconsistencies. Two thirds of our attacking players are struggling/not at the required levels not to really further progress/compete with City and Liverpool as a team as well as Azpi/Rudi/Andreas all potentially leaving so its obvious that we will need a few.

We are not allowing him to play against us.

He can't even if we say he can, facing your parent club has never been allowed in the FA Cup even when it was allowed in the league (I remember Wenger let Jermaine Pennant face Arsenal in the league and wanted to allow the same in the cup but the FA overruled him).

It's the League Cup where the club has the power to say yes or no.
