Gallagher

Maybe because Guehi is sitting out his contract? I wonder if the board has decided that any purchases must be funded by outgoings? Okay Holding has gone but Eddie is sitting tight and so is Marc. Maybe Eze is the only one we have a decent offer for?

All speculation on my part.
If we hold Ebs to his contract we don't really need to sign too many. If we do well this year chances are he may be happy to see his career out at Palace. If Odsonne and Daichi go, which wouldn't really affect our squad, there would be money for a couple more additions that Ollie is after. Plus we'd be saving a fortune on Daichi's wages. Also we must surely still have money on top from sales of Olise and Andersen etc plus cup and league money
 
No. He’s a box to box midfielder and certainly not a straight swap for Eze. We’re well stocked in CM and should not be spending £40m +200k pw for a position which doesn’t need filling.
 
He’s left / leaving his last two clubs because he wasn’t getting the starts he wanted.

We have a World Cup coming up which is the pinnacle of a career . He wants to be playing every week .

Who’s going to be the best to offer him that .
Palace , Spurs or Newcastle ?

He’s 25 and has played at top clubs and is now moving .

Supposedly all three are prepared to match terms . Kamada out , Connor in . I’d take that any day . That’s the equation and a definite upgrade .

Conor and Adam starting MF . Healthy back up with Hughes , Delaney and Lerma and Decoure to come back . Wouldn’t be surprised to see Lerma transitioning to CB and the other two were linked with and CB fixed . We don’t need to spend 60 in Portugal .
 
If he came (and it's a big if) I would expect to see him play in Ebs' role as an attacking midfielder. In many ways his high energy style is better suited to OG's system than the languid technical brilliance of Ebs.
 
Would love Connor back. Was a real bright light when he was here. We absolutely got the best out of him and he fits Palace. He’s not exactly been pulling up trees since he left Palace. Question is could he fit into an OG team?
 
Why are we still discussing this?
If he earns £200,000 per week we'd have to sell Eze, Guehi, Kamada, Wharton, Mateta, Henderson
and Uncle Tom Cobley to cover it.
Having a six figure plus wage is not conducive to changing clubs, least of all to Palace.
