I suppose if they offer enough money it might tempt him but he will get a move to a steadier club in the near future. Agreed, a loan move might make some sense, but a permanent move to a relegation threatened, Sean Dyche lead, toxic Everton... that's bad, that's very very bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonpack 6815 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Wouldn't be surprised if these links are mainly for SSN to keep us interested, we could very well be done, which would be fine IMO. We don't desperately need to replace Shelvey, he hasn't been available all season anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Shelvey goes we’re left with: Bruno Longstaff Willock Joelinton Anderson (who Howe doesn’t seem to fancy) Surely we’re getting another body in, even if it’s a stopgap loan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather we get in Berge on loan and then assess the situation in the summer especially if we qualify for Europe and can splash the cash with new sponsorships in.

Was going to say this would be a good time for Anderson to see if the can make the step up. This might be harsh because he's had very limited playing time but from what we've seen of him so far this season he is nowhere near ready.

Polarboy 2124 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 It would interesting to know if Howe is after Berge and Gallagher, or if it's one or the other. A 65m obligation for the summer is a big outlay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our first team is mint but the depth isn’t there in reserve in midfield. We might get lucky and make it to the end of the season without one of the four main lads getting injured but it’s a gamble.

Aye, I think a loan to us would be ideal for him as it’s a positive high flying side he’d look decent in even if he wasn’t spectacular, which would set him up for a move in the summer - going to Everton could see him headed for the Championship on big wages with a big fee, and a fan base who would threaten him. I agree with Tom in that I’m not a huge fan of Gallagher, he’s a hard worker but I’ve not seen loads else. He was rated at Palace and if Howe/team are interested I’d give him a chance, I do think he’s lower down the list though which is why we want him on loan. The point is probably moot anyway as I highly doubt Chelsea would let him go to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13830 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Of course he would Like most of us he’ll have seen the fans chasing the players down the streets and stopping their cars with road blocks to drag them out of their vehicles to abuse them. Gordon will be feeling like a lucky man right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aimaad22 3442 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Looks like Chelsea inching closer to Fernandez. That might set a few things in motion. How much of an upgrade over Longstaff would Gallagher be in the final third? I honestly don't know. From what I've seen of the Chelsea man his strengths are energy and intensity.
