🚨 Gallagher is now set for a medical at Atletico Madrid after Chelsea agreed a £34.5million fee for striker Samu Omorodion – head to The Athletic for more
HERE WE GO
Atletico Be cooking this Transfer window 🧑🍳
Well
Hopefully he'll get some minutes, wanted him to play more for England and provide energy to the midfield
He's the perfect Diego Simeone player Fit hard working and technically limited
Pure pure pure profit. Simple. Nothing else. He is valued higher than everyone. Who else brings that cash?
Rudiger and Christensen (and Mount) were deep into contract negotiations when the sanctions on Abromovich hit, so no contracts could be signed. Probably cost them ~100m
he’s a very solid player, would be a stupid loss
Chelski had to save the money for another quarterback
chelsea are hilarious. honestly wouldn’t be surprised if they finished in the bottom half this year
Mason Mount 2.0
So we live in a world where kiernan drewsbury hall is better than Connor Gallagher okay
This is literally the Mason Mount situation all over again. A young midfielder brought up through the academy that has played massive minutes is getting blatantly disrespected in negotiations.
its crazy caicedo and jackson played more minutes than palmer
The video doesn’t answer the question
Mason Mount in lite version
Yes
– a Chelsea fan
Really hope Chelsea finish bottom half this season
Chelsea definitely need someone like him especially with a possible race war in the club. I’d be shocked with the tension at the club if they somehow make it to any European competition
Clown FC 🤡
We need gallager
So long story short Chelsea is selling their best player hmm..
It's "Christensen" not "Christiansen"
I came from the future. He will be playing for Atletico this season.
Believe me.
But dont say a word yet
Before sacking poch i think they had a great chance at top 4. Now I feel like top 6 is unrealistic
Chelsea won't regret tho 🥲
Haven't they got 47 other midfielders I think they'll be okay
He already left to atleti
This is ridiculous man. 💔
You dont know how much damage Sarri made to this club and the fanbase 😂
Players are now divided into yer das road runners and “technically gifted” players looool, no nuance to it at all. Its ironic how these Sarrista idiots keep repping J5 and Kovacic when those two are specialised players that are quite limited to their skillset. Both of them had their best moments under Lamps(first season) and Tuchel where they played with more urgency compared to under Sarri, while being protected with a back 3 because neither were good enough off-the-ball lol. Is being technical refers to how good of a short passer you are now?
here after he signed to Atletico😢
I hate my club
gallager is one of the only class players at chelsea
The deal is not going thru t the moment
Chelsea are hilarious. This is what happens when Americans swoop in and think its just a case of buying expensive players.
Wow
to summarize:
Chelsea offered him extension but he rejects it.
