Connor Gallagher to Atletico

Connor leaving has been rumored for quite some time, the Chelsea captain was key to last seasons sixth place, he continues to develop as a highly effective, competent footballer, which any club with serious ambition to compete at a top level would be happy to have in their 24 man squad.

He is a hard working, solid player.

If his transfer does go through, I think it illustrates the reality of the current ownerships strategy and difficulties the club faces.

The club are prepared to sell, it's club captain, a spine player,
one of the more experienced consistent players to maintain FFP & continue to invest in untried youth prospects

Gallagher kept his mouth shut over the penalty taker debacle. Was only a captain because of the arm band

Flash, finished,? as a top flight elite competition club , agreed for the foreseeable future

But imo, not in the long term.

Christopher,

offering a 24 year old who played more minutes than any other Chelsea player last season a 2 year extension is pretty insincere

clearly did not really want him to stay so they could cash in.

Well , its clear the club have decided they prefer to cash him in, but I think this more about the clubs financial FFP/ PSR responsibilities & future strategy than anything else.

Don't worry about what that filtering gimp Christopher says, he's more interested in getting culer banned off the site
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I must say, having been made aware of that hateful thread by another user, I really do feel sorry for the likes of Christopher.

To dedicate an entire thread to censoring me because he doesn't like my opinions is just wrong. Not to mind overly obsessive. Also, I won't mention all of the lies contained within it that are just simply fake news.

At times you come on here and you really do see the very worst of humanity. The forum needs to be about positive debate, not hatred and poison.

Users need to use the forum to chat footie, not argue and turn it into Lord Of The Flies ffs.

Embarrassing on his part and he should take the article down.

RTM,

Personally I think he represented the club honourably when he played & was asked to step up, he always put in 100%.

Which is as much as we can ask, imo the squad will be weaker without him.

As i understand it Gallaher captained CFC for about 25/ 30 games over his 95 appearance career at CFC.

Im not sure what you mean, As to your opinion he was only captain because of arm band?

I don't think this one is about FFP (though obviously it doesn't hurt), cos they rejected more money from PL clubs.

This is about him & Enzo not stylistically fitting into the same team & Enzo's their big investment, 2nd largest outlay & the highest earner of their signings. Same reason Marseca's here & Poch got ditched, we're building for one player.

Good as Enzo is, this better be worth it

Enzo, is on a 8+ contract

Chelsea have treated him badly but it’s not like he’s going to be a big miss. Terribly average.

Rubbish. He was our 2nd best player last year

Was a captain because he run harder and further than everyone and has been a part of the club for 16 years
