Arsenal legend, William Gallas has come out to say that he believes that Conor Gallagher is doing more for Chelsea than Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the fact that Gallagher runs a lot makes him an indispensable asset to that Chelsea midfield, and if he leaves this summer, the fans have every right to be upset.
Gallas added that the Chelsea board definitely made a mistake by spending so much money on the other unreliable options.
His words, “Should Chelsea sell Conor Gallagher? When you spend £100m plus on players like Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo, they will have big expectations and you expect them to lead on the field. It hasn’t happened, they’re still young. Conor Gallagher is a Chelsea boy, he did not cost the club any money and the fans love him because of his commitment on the pitch.
Gallagher runs a lot, you need players like him, if you compare him to Enzo and Caicedo, he is completely different. Gallagher is doing more for Chelsea than the other two, if he has to leave the club, the fans will be upset but they will understand why he has to leave, because of Financial Fair Play. It’s hard to understand how Chelsea have put themselves in that position, the board has made a mistake in spending so much money that they now need to rely on selling homegrown players.
If I was Conor Gallagher, I would try to stay with Chelsea. In the end, it’s the decision of the player. The club can’t force him to leave if he doesn’t want to. Chelsea will have to find another solution to solve the financial situation. If Gallagher wants to stay at Chelsea, he should not let himself leave.”
WOW.
Chelsea Football Club is an English professional football club based in Fulham, West London. Founded in 1905, they play their home games at Stamford Bridge.
The club competes in the Premier League, the top division of English football. They won their first major honour, the League championship, in 1955. The club won the FA Cup for the first time in 1970, their first European honour, the Cup Winners’ Cup, in 1971, and became the third English club to win the Club World Cup in 2022.
On 7 May 2022, Chelsea confirmed that terms have been agreed for a new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjörg Wyss, to acquire the club. The group was later known as BlueCo.
The UK government approved the £4.25bn takeover, ending Abramovich’s 19-year ownership of the club. Bruce Buck, who served as chairman since 2003, was replaced by Boehly, while long-serving club director and de facto sporting director Marina Granovskaia left, as did Petr Čech from the role of technical and performance advisor.
