Like that’s the thing, he is truly us through and through. He’s young, plays position(s) you can NEVER be too deep or too good at, and just wants something fair. He could ask for a ton and he’s not even doing that, yet we will (likely) sell a player that pours his heart and soul out for the club/team every time. With the amount of matches, injuries, etc. there will ALWAYS be a place for him and, when he doesn’t play, you can guarantee he won’t cry and moan. A player like that is invaluable, yet we don’t seem to care 😞
Drawing from the article about Poch, I think the style of football is now being dictated at the football director level and they seem to be recruiting players based on that style and corresponding stats. The only reason the club seems to want to sell Gallagher is because he doesn’t seem to fit that style of football, whatever that is. I doubt it has got to do with FFP, as all of us here like to speculate, and more to do with Purchase of Lavia, Ugo, Caicedo and Enzo (+Santos and Casadei) who fit that style.
Not sure they are keen to consider something like “through and through Chelsea” as a factor.
This is always the problem with a purely data driven approach, it completely ignores the intangibles.
Foreign imports may be better in theory but when the going gets tough will they run through walls for the club, will they have their head turned when Real or Barca come calling?
Gallagher and Chalobah are happy being squad rotation options and cover multiple positions between them, they are both loyal and set a high standard for their teammates. Stuff like that is vital to get the best out of the young talent- you need a core of players who know the club, its values and what the fans expect.
Sadly, I bet Clearlake are too arrogant to change course. Can just picture them thinking that it will all come good and we all just don’t know what we are talking about. I hope they’re right.
Yeah let’s buy estevao Willian and every other left footed right winger on the planet by selling off players who grew up dreaming of playing for this team and actually having proven that they’re talented enough to be one of the best in the league.
https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/39463151/mauricio-pochettino-chelsea-manager-leaves-1-season
Middle of page makes mention. That’s all I had seen as well.
Yeah, all the reports seem to point to Eghbali being the main driver of the sacking, data driven etc.
https://x.com/JacobsBen/status/1793018719808926139
Brentford and Brighton (and probably other clubs) use data to back up what they think. Seems like our ‘board’ don’t know ball so base it solely off the data. They just don’t understand or have a feel for what a football club is here in Europe.
They’ve pulled their dark arts too many times now. Anyone who believe that Conor not staying is due to his greed etc. is either an absolute fuckwit, or not a Chelsea fan.
Mount was different, he was not willing to sign before Roman left and ran down his contract for years. You can’t pin that one solely on the new ownership.
If Poch left because Gallagher and Chalobah are going to be sold I feel for him but he made the right decision for himself. I’m not a big fan, mostly because he comes from Spurs and I hate Spurs, but he was dealt a bad hand and him walking away now at least means he can hold his head high and not have to repeat the shit show of a season, get it figured out but the end and then immediately lose the players that got you there.
Who played better this season the free Chelsea academy player or the £106.8 million transfer player they selected. If making a profit is the name of the game stop wasting money.
If you care more about the club than anything no else than youd want Conor to stay
This is only happening bc the owners want to make more money.
Club > Everything else including ownerships greed
This is what makes the whole thing even more stupid. The two teams he’s been linked with are the two teams directly above us. Why would we sell one of our best performers to direct rivals?
These useless incompetent fucking halfwits won’t care who they sell to at all just as long as they get some money back in the bank because they just can’t stop spending.
Like I said the last time you posted this
>Now do progressive passes, progressive passing distance, progressive carries, progressive carrying distance, passes into final third, miscontrols, dispossessions, fouls committed, challenges lost, % dribblers tackled...
The anti Gallagher crowd are so strange. He only gets hate from a minority of chelsea fans while he's respected by rivals and most fans as a good player.
If you are putting blame on players then I would look closer at Disasi and Badiashile because their wayward passes often left us in trouble. Enzo hasn’t performed like a £106 million player, Mudryk at £89 million has also been poor. These 4 cost us £275 million, maybe we should sack the people who decided to buy them.
I agree. I remember poch being asked about him during the season and saying something along the lines of 'I pick him in the starting lineup every week. I can't do anything more"
He would. Arsenal are demons off the ball, Partey is always injured for them. Them adding him would solidfy that midfield and add bite into it and a goal threat
Was palace poty 2 years ago. Starts every game for us. Spurs and villa are literally asking for him. He straight up walks into wolves, brighton, brentford, fulham, bournemouth. West ham, everton and forest.
You're left with arsenal and city and man utd. And I'd bet the house United would rather have conor than mainoo and eriksen. where he would be 'just a squad player'
He does not get into Arsenal. Nor City, nor Liverpool. Those are the clubs we want to get closer to.
Tbh I don't think he fits in at United either - Not better than Mainoo imo.
I hate this squad player nonsense. He's been our best player after palmer this season and has been very consistent. He has shown us all that he's good enough to be a key player for Chelsea.
i can’t help but feel like selling him is going to undo literally everything Lampard did to get us to a point where our academy players would be regulars in our team
this is a player so in love with Chelsea that he’d rather just potentially run his contract down over leaving, i don’t care if there are better midfielders when he is very likely to be open to being a squad player man
We started with: James, Mount, CHO, RLC, Tomori, Guehi, Abraham, Gilmour, Christensen, Solanke, Nathaniel Chalobah, Livramento, Broja, Lamptey, Trevoh Chalobah, Gallagher, Maatsen, Hall, Colwill, Anjorin, Gilchrist
After this summer we have: James, Colwill, Gilchrist
As a whole, we sold that group of players for A LOT of money and we have almost nothing to show for it
We never had all those players at the same time. You can't just compare what we'll have next season to what we had for the entirety of the last 10 years.
i view James as an exception to the rule (he’s too good to be sold at this moment in time)
and both Colwill and especially Gilchrist are not entirely safe to me, i can easily see them being sold according to this board when their value in transfer is perceived to be higher than their value on the pitch
for me, it’s more of the way they seem to be handling Gallagher’s exit that sucks, like at this point it would be best if they flat out said we’re not keeping him
Nah cause we're starting to see an ownership that's reaching Glazer level bad, combined with zero heart for the game. They don't see players, emotions or "playing for the badge". To them, players are now amortizations and FFPs. And it fucking infuriates me how some of the "fans" on this sub have become just like that.
Conor is off after this for sure.
At this stage, given that Poch is out, who was his staunchest defender, Conor is gone for sure now. I'm resigned to him getting sold, and with that getting communicated to the new manager as an already made decision.
After what he's done this season it would be staggering to me that there would be a large amount of hate for Gallagher. His situation with the club has been pretty well documented, particularly his desire to stay and not be sold.
Anyone hating on him when he leaves (and I personally don't think it's a question anymore with Poch gone) aren't people who'd be swayed by a post like this in the first place
Yeah please. Even if he goes to Man City and wins Prems and Champions Leagues and he returns to the Bridge to play Chelsea don’t boo him. He stepped up and led Chelsea through shit all the way to a more respectable position in the league.
Fans support the club not the owners, in the 50+ years of supporting Chelsea I have seen many owners come and go. I think the EPL test for owners should include football knowledge and if they fail then they shouldn’t be allowed to bid.
I've supported the club since the Ken Bates era. And I've never seen anything this ridiculous in football, much less the club. When the new ownership guts everything I know about the club, I don't know if it's the club I've loved over the decades anymore.
I agree that these guys are a useless bunch of cowboys but apart from making a load of bad decisions they haven’t gutted anything yet. Ken Bates didn’t part with his cash much and we have Roman to thank for the updating of training and the academy which at the moment they aren’t touching.
Pushing him to leave would be one of the worst decisions the new ownership has made, it would be heartbreaking. The thought of it makes me sick to my stomach.
Hated him in his first season. Too rash with his tackles and run around the pitch liked a mad man. If not for Palmer, he was my POTY. Would be a shame to see him leave.
The hate for Conor from some in this sub is shocking, he’s a born Chelsea lad, blue through and through and you treat him like meat…
He has been amazing this season, captain and quite possibly one of our better players, to see us lose a manager because they’re going to sell Conor and Trev is sickening and good on Poch for sticking up for the lads if this turns out to be the reason. He was turning things around and got the players playing great football.
Shame he isn’t given the chance to try and win us that Europa League next season
Honestly the amount of ‘fans’ who are in this thread still part of the sell Connor brigade just haven’t got a clue. Don’t care about his standing on where he is in the leagues as a CM- what matters is he doesn’t want to be sold and he is the only player that at all times this season kept running (if you don’t understand the importance of this just stop reading and go play fifa instead) and wanting the ball back. He’s Chelsea through and through which is a constant and stability trait, which we all want and need. Selling him will cut through the club and run deep, we won’t get players playing for the badge over time because why would they if they can be sold anywhen. He’s been our captain for most the season and has absolutely been clutch many times, tackles and goals. 17 goal involvement Jesus Christ, clutch goal at Villa, two goals at palace (do we need to thank him for the 3 points?), goal stopping tackle last game and plenty more. The players like him, ex players like him, he’s an England player, proper fans love him, he’s still young, he’s Chelsea. Don’t matter if he plays first team or bench- he cannot be sold this summer and if you think he does and this is your main thought process day by day- go play fifa instead and come back when you have a clue 👍
I'll never understand this anti Gallagher anti Cobham crowd. I never wanted rlc to leave and we got pennies for him and now he's playing well. Gallagher has been one of our best players this season and the only people I see dragging him are other chelsea fans.
Posted this as a reply in another thread but thought it would also fit here...
Couldn't Conor just stick two fingers up at the board and say I'll see out my contract thanks. When you are moving on a free you can potentially get a huge payday (a-la Aaron Ramsay to Juve as an example) and he will have more suitors then than he will when the board want 40-50m for him.
If the board ordered the new manager not to play him as punishment then there would be riots.
I've thought about this too. It doesn't make sense that the club aren't trying to extend him even if they ultimately want to sell. Their 50m asset becomes 0 at the same time next year. In January he'll be able to negotiate with other clubs and I don't think BlueCo will like to see what other clubs are willing to pay for him
How do we get a message to the owners? As a life long Chelsea fan I’ve not seen a worse decision if we chose to sell Gallagher. I really hope there’s more to this. Maybe they just want to get high offers so they can “prove his book value” and they will refuse all offers? For me he’s our 2nd best performer this year next to Cole and those two seem to thrive together.
In a season of so much to complain about he gave everything, even took the armband for the season, for me his more of a priority than Enzo.
Really don’t understand how it’s even debatable he gets sold after this campaign
Everyone knows Conor and his family are Chelsea through and through. I have my doubts that Mount actually wanted to leave but this one is clear cut. If he leaves it's because he was pushed out.
Absolutely right. He and Palmer were the brightest lights of an otherwise disappointing first 3/4s of the season. Losing Enzo, and pairing Cucurella and Caicedo in midfield we lucked out and finished strongly.
Fear that we'll lose Connor to balance the books which will be a crying shame ..... he deserves to be lauded for just what he put into the season.
Be very sorry to see him go, should he be sold on.
The current situation of our club is in such a mess that even if players want to stay and play for the club from their heart, their soul and mind won't let them to play.
God Help Chelsea 😭🙏🏻💙
It always hurts to lose fan favorites, but it especially hurts to lose Cobham made players. Conor is Chels through and through and to lose him would be heart breaking
If they try to sell him, he should just refuse to go. If a player refuses to sign a contract with another club, what can they do ?
He'll be a free agent when his deal expires, can then sign for anyone, including us again. I don't see how the owners can win if he refuses to leave, given they can't put him in the reserves or whatever because the players and fan base won't accept it.
The ownership and directors are truly shooting themselves in the foot if they think selling of players who are proper Chels like Conor, Trevoh, Levi etc. for pure profit just to sign South American wonderkids is clever. It will distance them even further from the supporters, and keeping a core of players who gets what it means to play for Chelsea will be even more important if this manager merry go round is gonna continue.
Honestly hope he refuses to be sold and leaves on a free. Maybe then these clowns will realise how much they've fucked up buying players worse than what we already had. A transfer ban is seriously needed
If we sell everyone and higher shit again. Im done with Chelsea. These people are ruining us. Least before Roman we were broke and a bit shit. Now we are shit and spending stupid with owners who think they are playing Football Manager..
The Bridge is like a fucking grave yard full of. Tourists and the so called PRAWN Sandwich brigade. What has happend to the Chelsea i was bought up with. Im a local lad aswell just off north end road no glory supoortee from 2003 either.... .
Good lad, it's a shame he's bang average. He's just a squad player and we can find an upgrade pretty easily. Also we're trying to build a possession identity, he doesn't fit in that plan.
He's had a great season with noticeable improvements. To call the captain with the most appearances this season "just a squad player" is laughable. The £100m+ players we've already signed in his position haven't performed as well as him.
Caicedo has been 10x better than him and I don't know what game are you watching cause he has been a liability in possession throughout the season.
He's just another Mount.
I hope everyone remembers that there is ZERO part of Gallagher that wants to leave. Do not let anything that happens twist that reality.
It will fuck him up… he’s proper Chels. Gets announced in the England squad and finds out his days are numbered in the same day.
Like that’s the thing, he is truly us through and through. He’s young, plays position(s) you can NEVER be too deep or too good at, and just wants something fair. He could ask for a ton and he’s not even doing that, yet we will (likely) sell a player that pours his heart and soul out for the club/team every time.

SMH you don't get it he's not a "wonderkid" so why would he have a place in our squad /s
Yeah let’s buy estevao Willian and every other left footed right winger on the planet by selling off players who grew up dreaming of playing for this team and actually having proven that they’re talented enough to be one of the best in the league.
We are not selling players who have proven they're talented enough to be one of the best in the league, tho...
I know he's not a wonder kid but his always wondering throughout the field. /S
This. Boehly/Clearlake PR cannot fool me. We are familiar with their game
Honestly baffled how boehly gets all the blame while eghbali gets away Scot free. He’s the real cancer here
At this point, I honestly think it's because Eghbali is harder to spell/remember.
This is absolutely the reason lol
Icl I can't spell either of their names without looking it up 😂😂
Clownlake rolls off the tongue
Truth 😂😂😂
They’re both the human version of testicular cancer. One ball each.
He made himself sporting director and the face of the bid. Pretty clear he’s not the biggest problem but he signed up for this.
They’re the same.
Wrong, Todd wasn't involved in this according to reports, Todd was Poch's fan on the board.
Where do you see that btw. Not doubting just want to have a look at the source
https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/39463151/mauricio-pochettino-chelsea-manager-leaves-1-season Middle of page makes mention. That’s all I had seen as well.

Thanks
Here’s the thing, I don’t believe any of that
Also possible
They’ve pulled their dark arts too many times now. Anyone who believe that Conor not staying is due to his greed etc. is either an absolute fuckwit, or not a Chelsea fan.
I’m glad you are because it seems 95% of this sub had no problem slating another midfielder here since childhood and fell victim to this nonsense.
Mount was different, he was not willing to sign before Roman left and ran down his contract for years. You can’t pin that one solely on the new ownership.
Dispicable if they try and sell him, hope he runs down his contract so the board get nothing from it.
This. Hope he stays with us, but if not I hope these morons do not get the pure profit they crave
Same
Fr
Why ever you do, remember this, he’s one of our own.
Man I can't bear seeing Gallagher and chalobah leave
If Poch left because Gallagher and Chalobah are going to be sold I feel for him but he made the right decision for himself. I’m not a big fan, mostly because he comes from Spurs and I hate Spurs, but he was dealt a bad hand and him walking away now at least means he can hold his head high and not have to repeat the shit show of a season, get it figured out but the end and then immediately lose the players that got you there.
Who played better this season the free Chelsea academy player or the £106.8 million transfer player they selected. If making a profit is the name of the game stop wasting money.
Only people that will be getting hate when he’s pushed out the door is the cunts pushing him out of it.
I hope he runs his contract down as a middle finger to ownership
This way he can get way bigger deal in a new club, as free transfers usually earn more
If they do force him out and to another club, I hope he makes a fortune
They’ll force their next managerial puppet to play him in the reserves
Easy way to have the fans dislike the new manager, but hey this ownership doesn’t seem to care about what the fans think
I don't. Club > Everything Else.
If you care more about the club than anything no else than youd want Conor to stay This is only happening bc the owners want to make more money. Club > Everything else including ownerships greed
Yes. Club > everything else. but greedy BlueCo <<<<<<<<
Do you genuinely think the club is better off selling him for 50m?
Only to be sold to a rival club, lmao. How will his family even be able to watch him play for Spuds? What a cursed reality
If he must leave, please let the Villa rumors be true…
Is it like inked on contract already that he is going to spuds or just journalists trying to generate traction?
they’ve been the team he’s been linked with most ever since the contract situation has been made public
Ouch
He can choose the club he wants to go to. He's still under contract
hopefully he doesn't choose spurs then.
I really don’t think he goes to spurs. Bentancur and Sarr already competing for the number 8 spot.
He's miles better than both of them
Perhaps, I don’t know. Just can’t see either Sarr or Bentancur leaving to make room in that position.
There is no way either is “miles worse”, probably quite similar in terms of overall quality
Lmao he's nowhere near Sarr
He wouldn’t go there he’d have more offers than just them. Villa would be interested for sure and he actually be a great signing for them.
This is what makes the whole thing even more stupid. The two teams he’s been linked with are the two teams directly above us. Why would we sell one of our best performers to direct rivals?
How else could we spend another 100M on a player we don't need?!
These useless incompetent fucking halfwits won’t care who they sell to at all just as long as they get some money back in the bank because they just can’t stop spending.

No good bud, he’s 25, As per blueCo standards that means hes ancient and should be put in a retirement home. We only employ young lads here 😤
Ah so they subscribe to the Leonardo DiCaprio rule book
Chelsea board running this like the average FM player, lol
More like fifa, old player are pretty useful in fm because of their leadership. Currently, in my save, average age if my first elegn is 27
Where is Data driven philosophy now🤡
Your comment made me laugh so much it’s so vindictive 😂😂
Like I said the last time you posted this >Now do progressive passes, progressive passing distance, progressive carries, progressive carrying distance, passes into final third, miscontrols, dispossessions, fouls committed, challenges lost, % dribblers tackled...
You know he’s still ahead on most of these….
Sure. Next time we’ll compare goalkeepers by goals scored and successful dribbles too.
>Midfielders forward passing and ball control is not important Brain-dead take.
Rice was literally bought for many categories where Gallagher is doing better. Rice wasn’t bought for forward passing and ball control.
Like I said, brain-dead. Have a good one.
The anti Gallagher crowd are so strange. He only gets hate from a minority of chelsea fans while he's respected by rivals and most fans as a good player.
Short of Conor running around town screaming fuck Chelsea, I could never hate our boy
Even then, it would be directed at the ownership I’m sure, so I’d join him in shouting it
I hope Conor realizes how much he was supported by fans, because what the club is trying to do with him is bullshit.
If you are putting blame on players then I would look closer at Disasi and Badiashile because their wayward passes often left us in trouble. Enzo hasn’t performed like a £106 million player, Mudryk at £89 million has also been poor. These 4 cost us £275 million, maybe we should sack the people who decided to buy them.
He's gone. I think that's one of the reasons Poch left
I agree. I remember poch being asked about him during the season and saying something along the lines of 'I pick him in the starting lineup every week. I can't do anything more"
Chalobah will also be gone, and Poch probably wanted him as well.
These guys are now entering into complete supporter protest territory if next season doesn't go well.
They have set themselves up for a fall if we don’t achieve top 4 next year.
If fans' opinion is not even as important as to keep Gallagher, what's the point of supporting the club then?
Prediction: Poch goes to United and takes Gallagher with him. Maybe Chalobah too.
Gallagher improves every team in the country besides city maybe
I don't think he'd improve Arsenal but he wouldn't look out of place in their midfield.
He really would, tho
I don't think Gallagher would take Arsenal from 2nd to 1st or help them win any trophies, I really don't.
He would. Arsenal are demons off the ball, Partey is always injured for them. Them adding him would solidfy that midfield and add bite into it and a goal threat
Imo in the midfield role conor suits them better than havertz.
Lmao no. He's a good squad player, but don't be ridiculous.
Was palace poty 2 years ago. Starts every game for us. Spurs and villa are literally asking for him. He straight up walks into wolves, brighton, brentford, fulham, bournemouth. West ham, everton and forest. You're left with arsenal and city and man utd. And I'd bet the house United would rather have conor than mainoo and eriksen. where he would be 'just a squad player'
He does not get into Arsenal. Nor City, nor Liverpool. Those are the clubs we want to get closer to. Tbh I don't think he fits in at United either - Not better than Mainoo imo.
Eh he starts ahead of Endo. If there’s an area of weakness with Liverpool it’s central midfield.
Endo is the DM though, a position Gallagher doesn't play. He's not better than Macallister or Szoboszlai imo.
Szoboslai I feel is a little overrated although a different type of player than Conor. Alexis is better sure, Endo and Dominic not so sure.
He's absolutely better than MacAllister and Szoboszlai
No he isn't.
Delusion
I hate this squad player nonsense. He's been our best player after palmer this season and has been very consistent. He has shown us all that he's good enough to be a key player for Chelsea.
It makes me sad that he is most likely gone this summer. Proper Chelsea, loves the club. Why wouldn’t you want that guy in the building?
He’s getting forced out and it’s heartbreaking
i can’t help but feel like selling him is going to undo literally everything Lampard did to get us to a point where our academy players would be regulars in our team this is a player so in love with Chelsea that he’d rather just potentially run his contract down over leaving, i don’t care if there are better midfielders when he is very likely to be open to being a squad player man
Is Conor the only academy player we have? Why do you guys ignore Colwill, Gilchrist and Reece James? All got contract extensions.
We started with: James, Mount, CHO, RLC, Tomori, Guehi, Abraham, Gilmour, Christensen, Solanke, Nathaniel Chalobah, Livramento, Broja, Lamptey, Trevoh Chalobah, Gallagher, Maatsen, Hall, Colwill, Anjorin, Gilchrist After this summer we have: James, Colwill, Gilchrist As a whole, we sold that group of players for A LOT of money and we have almost nothing to show for it
We never had all those players at the same time. You can't just compare what we'll have next season to what we had for the entirety of the last 10 years.

I have a really bad feeling but theres still hope left
Same I want to believe and prolong my suffering 🫡🤝
I’ve found my fellow delulu people lol 👯
Nah cause we're starting to see an ownership that's reaching Glazer level bad, combined with zero heart for the game. They don't see players, emotions or "playing for the badge". To them, players are now amortizations and FFPs. And it fucking infuriates me how some of the "fans" on this sub have become just like that. Conor is off after this for sure.
Visions of him scoring for Spurs against us at the Bridge next season and all 4 stands chanting that Boehly is a cunt.
Anyone who knows ball knows a former chelsea player finds the back of the net against us no matter how bad their form
Don’t worry. We know exactly who to hate
This board has no idea what they are doing....
I don’t think there will ever be anything but admiration for Conor from fans. Everyone seems to know it’s not his choice to leave.
Hope he runs down his contract and spends a year on vacation with the reserves and then leaves on a free.
At this stage, given that Poch is out, who was his staunchest defender, Conor is gone for sure now. I'm resigned to him getting sold, and with that getting communicated to the new manager as an already made decision.

See it with mount tbf
You'll never see me call him a rat or Judas.
Yeah please. Even if he goes to Man City and wins Prems and Champions Leagues and he returns to the Bridge to play Chelsea don’t boo him. He stepped up and led Chelsea through shit all the way to a more respectable position in the league.
If he leaves, we should all follow suit. This ownership is brain dead.
Fans support the club not the owners, in the 50+ years of supporting Chelsea I have seen many owners come and go. I think the EPL test for owners should include football knowledge and if they fail then they shouldn’t be allowed to bid.
I've supported the club since the Ken Bates era. And I've never seen anything this ridiculous in football, much less the club. When the new ownership guts everything I know about the club, I don't know if it's the club I've loved over the decades anymore.
I agree that these guys are a useless bunch of cowboys but apart from making a load of bad decisions they haven’t gutted anything yet. Ken Bates didn’t part with his cash much and we have Roman to thank for the updating of training and the academy which at the moment they aren’t touching.
Uh yes they have. They sold most of the players and got rid of the management and backroom staff like the medic department.
I love this man!
The sporting directors want power, that’s why they want to hire a young, inexperienced manager. They see Cobham as pure FFP profit 🤢
Pushing him to leave would be one of the worst decisions the new ownership has made, it would be heartbreaking. The thought of it makes me sick to my stomach.
Poch was his only chance to stay. I feel if Poch was given another season then we would have signed him to another contract. Zero chance of that now.
Hated him in his first season. Too rash with his tackles and run around the pitch liked a mad man. If not for Palmer, he was my POTY. Would be a shame to see him leave.
I always got a chuckle out of the cardio g and 50 lines of cocaine jokes
The hate for Conor from some in this sub is shocking, he’s a born Chelsea lad, blue through and through and you treat him like meat… He has been amazing this season, captain and quite possibly one of our better players, to see us lose a manager because they’re going to sell Conor and Trev is sickening and good on Poch for sticking up for the lads if this turns out to be the reason. He was turning things around and got the players playing great football. Shame he isn’t given the chance to try and win us that Europa League next season
Honestly the amount of ‘fans’ who are in this thread still part of the sell Connor brigade just haven’t got a clue. Don’t care about his standing on where he is in the leagues as a CM- what matters is he doesn’t want to be sold and he is the only player that at all times this season kept running (if you don’t understand the importance of this just stop reading and go play fifa instead) and wanting the ball back. He’s Chelsea through and through which is a constant and stability trait, which we all want and need. Selling him will cut through the club and run deep, we won’t get players playing for the badge over time because why would they if they can be sold anywhen. He’s been our captain for most the season and has absolutely been clutch many times, tackles and goals. 17 goal involvement Jesus Christ, clutch goal at Villa, two goals at palace (do we need to thank him for the 3 points?), goal stopping tackle last game and plenty more. The players like him, ex players like him, he’s an England player, proper fans love him, he’s still young, he’s Chelsea. Don’t matter if he plays first team or bench- he cannot be sold this summer and if you think he does and this is your main thought process day by day- go play fifa instead and come back when you have a clue 👍
I'll never understand this anti Gallagher anti Cobham crowd. I never wanted rlc to leave and we got pennies for him and now he's playing well. Gallagher has been one of our best players this season and the only people I see dragging him are other chelsea fans.
Posted this as a reply in another thread but thought it would also fit here... Couldn't Conor just stick two fingers up at the board and say I'll see out my contract thanks. When you are moving on a free you can potentially get a huge payday (a-la Aaron Ramsay to Juve as an example) and he will have more suitors then than he will when the board want 40-50m for him. If the board ordered the new manager not to play him as punishment then there would be riots.
I've thought about this too. It doesn't make sense that the club aren't trying to extend him even if they ultimately want to sell. Their 50m asset becomes 0 at the same time next year. In January he'll be able to negotiate with other clubs and I don't think BlueCo will like to see what other clubs are willing to pay for him
How do we get a message to the owners? As a life long Chelsea fan I’ve not seen a worse decision if we chose to sell Gallagher. I really hope there’s more to this. Maybe they just want to get high offers so they can “prove his book value” and they will refuse all offers? For me he’s our 2nd best performer this year next to Cole and those two seem to thrive together.
If they sell him we riot
Good luck to him wherever he goes.
He becomes captain and the gaffer quits. Oops
Gallagher is incredible quality. I hate Chelsea!
YOUUU DONNT KNOW!!! He isn’t going anywhere mates.
And somehow people will still find a way to hate on this man
One of my fav from that current squad for sure. I would let Sterling go in a heartbeat if it could help Connor stay 😳
Conor Gallagher, he is one of our own!
In a season of so much to complain about he gave everything, even took the armband for the season, for me his more of a priority than Enzo. Really don’t understand how it’s even debatable he gets sold after this campaign
He's being forced out like Trev. Hate these owners.
Everyone knows Conor and his family are Chelsea through and through. I have my doubts that Mount actually wanted to leave but this one is clear cut. If he leaves it's because he was pushed out.
Anywhere but Tottenham or Arsenal. Please Conor.
Absolutely right. He and Palmer were the brightest lights of an otherwise disappointing first 3/4s of the season. Losing Enzo, and pairing Cucurella and Caicedo in midfield we lucked out and finished strongly. Fear that we'll lose Connor to balance the books which will be a crying shame ..... he deserves to be lauded for just what he put into the season. Be very sorry to see him go, should he be sold on.
Really selling Gallagher and continuing to buy unproven young guys to send on loan would absolute sicken me if it happens
The current situation of our club is in such a mess that even if players want to stay and play for the club from their heart, their soul and mind won't let them to play. God Help Chelsea 😭🙏🏻💙
Loosing the identity of our club
I don't rate him highly but his dedication to Chelsea is fantastic will never bad mouth him. Just hope we use the money we get from him properly
And yet Clownlake is gonna mercilessly sell him to turn a profit. Shameful
Wjat if he goes to Utd
100% agreed
It always hurts to lose fan favorites, but it especially hurts to lose Cobham made players. Conor is Chels through and through and to lose him would be heart breaking
Fuck these clown ass owners and board I bet this was a big factor in Poch leaving Soulless cunts need to get out of our club
Ill stop supporting Chelsea if he leaves
What ever happens I'm happy for him that he got to captain the greatest team in London, talk about a boyhood dream come true.
I don't want our fucking stupid board to sell him. I am already very pissed with poch sack, don't want selling him to add to the misery.
Spurs player next season then.
I will never respect Boehly and co bc they don’t respect us or our players
If they try to sell him, he should just refuse to go. If a player refuses to sign a contract with another club, what can they do ? He'll be a free agent when his deal expires, can then sign for anyone, including us again. I don't see how the owners can win if he refuses to leave, given they can't put him in the reserves or whatever because the players and fan base won't accept it.
The ownership and directors are truly shooting themselves in the foot if they think selling of players who are proper Chels like Conor, Trevoh, Levi etc. for pure profit just to sign South American wonderkids is clever. It will distance them even further from the supporters, and keeping a core of players who gets what it means to play for Chelsea will be even more important if this manager merry go round is gonna continue.
Honestly hope he refuses to be sold and leaves on a free. Maybe then these clowns will realise how much they've fucked up buying players worse than what we already had. A transfer ban is seriously needed
i hate what these people have done to my club
I really hope he stays, selling for pure profit is just mental after seeing the way he played for the badge this season
If we sell everyone and higher shit again. Im done with Chelsea. These people are ruining us. Least before Roman we were broke and a bit shit. Now we are shit and spending stupid with owners who think they are playing Football Manager.. The Bridge is like a fucking grave yard full of. Tourists and the so called PRAWN Sandwich brigade. What has happend to the Chelsea i was bought up with. Im a local lad aswell just off north end road no glory supoortee from 2003 either.... .
Don’t leave
He needs to stay and Trev man. These players are proper Chels and are performing on the pitch.
Gaalaggher🥺🥺
Done.
Fuck Boehly man. He's fucked up alot of things but Gallagher being forced out will really hurt
If he leaves it's because he's forced out, this boy wouldn't leave by choice.
Sign a contract then
This that racist dude
He is not the right person for us I'm afraid. We need champions pedigree and he is not.
Good lad, it's a shame he's bang average. He's just a squad player and we can find an upgrade pretty easily. Also we're trying to build a possession identity, he doesn't fit in that plan.
He's had a great season with noticeable improvements. To call the captain with the most appearances this season "just a squad player" is laughable. The £100m+ players we've already signed in his position haven't performed as well as him.
Caicedo has been 10x better than him and I don't know what game are you watching cause he has been a liability in possession throughout the season. He's just another Mount.
