I think in a vacuum moving from Højbjerg go Gallagher makes sense, but we can definitely do better. I think he'll end up feeling similar to Højbjerg in terms of just not being good enough technically
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He's sort of like Hojbjerg but starting a bit higher up the pitch, isn't he. Not much cop technically but turns out good numbers
----------------------------------------------------------------------
yeah works hard and scores goals without offering much in possession

I just think we should generally be avoiding that profile. we need to add technical players to this squad at every chance we get

I hate the destroyer role, craaap ballers. Xavi/iniesta/Busquets - won the lot, not a destroyer in sight

Dunno if I'd call Gallagher a destroyer just cos he works hard out of possession. The Barca team you mention were relentless at pressing.

I'd say Gallagher is a good old-fashioned attacking midfielder with a comparatively low level of passing ability but comparatively high level of off-the-ball movement

he's like a mid table version of peak Dele

wijnaldum another good comparison

He’s a more refined Lee Cattermole.

He's Tom Davies with his socks pulled up

Wijnaldum was a press-resistant player who was difficult to get the ball from, even though he played safe

Gallagher is simply a typical English box to box CM, whose strengths are more off the ball than on it
