Is it? Didn’t realise ending so soon but even then, still doesn't rule it out but makes it more unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve done everything we can do on our side at this point. We really want the move, player really wants the move, now up to Benfica. Whatever happens now we can’t be upset with the club. They’ve pushed as hard as they could. Not really if we had done this when we said we would he would've already been here for sure. We decided to submit this offer 2 days before deadline when they can't find replacement.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already got Rico Lewis and Kyle Walker there which is apparently why they were keen to let him go. More LB their struggling with although Ake has done well, wouldn’t be surprised if they prioritised a more natural left footed LB as I think Gomez has struggled to convince them. But again not many of them out there, maybe they’re a bit regretful letting Zinchenko go. Edited January 30, 2023 by OneMoSalah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,963 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Wonder what happens if Gallagher refuses to go. I don’t think the club would be terribly upset if we had to keep him but this is the sort of money you don’t say no to. Perhaps another club or two will scramble for Conor in the final hours now they see what sort of price we’d accept. Could get a little bidding war tomorrow for him.

We may have been waiting until the summer to go after him again but that rule change made it so we could no longer wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes apparently already turned them down. Was reported last week he wanted to stay and fight for his place as opposed to go to Everton or Newcastle.

Selling him to Eddie Howe and Newcastle is potentially very risky. He could actually haunt us there and help threaten our chase for top 4 whereas at Everton we don’t have to worry about as much.

U21s dont need to be registered though so would imagine Carney, Hall and Broja would be exempt and would free up spaces?

Youngsters don't count and that leaves us with five and that is if we can move KK. If not Chalobah has to go. And we will have to buy Rice and a HG keeper.

Strike 7,511 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Everton would be career suicide for Connor but I think with this interest confirmed, others will enter the picture - Palace, Newcastle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But again not many of them out there, maybe they’re a bit regretful letting Zinchenko go. yes, they need a LB as well (Walker is not getting any younger at RB, which is why I suggested those 2) LB is their curse position over the years they never effectively filled it with a remotely WC player, Cancelo did oki at times there as a right footer there, but he has weirdly flamed out they have spent (this is cray!) over £250m on just fullbacks (just in t fees, and add-ons, lol) since Pep has arrived soon over £300m I wager 🤪 Lewis looks pretty decent at right back, but not WC and if Walker leaves/ages out, they literally are down to only one other fullback the pedestrian, very meh LB Sergio Gómez Ake is far better at CB (he is actually quite decent there, not great, but decent) than LB, its one big reason we let him go overall Citeh are FUCKED at fullback, especially if the soon to be 33yo Walker goes down alleged raper Mendy is still in deep shit legally, and he was never that great anyway I was surprised they left Spuds buy Destiny Udogie (bruising speed merchant 20yo 1.88m LB from Italy via Nigeria) on the cheap last summer Destiny on the left and Dumfries on the right, in the Pep system, would be twin 6-2 American footie NFL free safety-bodied terrors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop convincing yourself he will all of a sudden accept a contract that will likely be significantly lower. Bettinelli is also not going anywhere given he was specifically purchased for fulfilling that HG quota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be most likely replaced by someone else who will never play, but is HG. RLC contract is up in 2024 and if we don't intend to play him at all he will go. Opportunities will be even harder to find if he rots on the bench for a year after all these injuries.
