Wierd reaction. Has anyone said he is a shit signing? The vast majority of posters are overwhelmingly positive, and the only thing has come up, and rightly so, is his lack of experience.
He could be the most technically gifted player in the world, but you still got have that understanding of how the game works.
Sounds like a good signing, we need a box to box all rounder in the midfield. Agree with the above, I trust Bowyer’s judgement, especially with midfielders. I’m sure he’ll return to Chelsea a better player and hopefully his performances mean we’ll want him back next year.
Think we should remember he's never played senior football and is only 19.
This isn't quite the same as signing Cullen and Bielik last year, who had both played senior football and were coming to us to play in the 3rd division.
People will probably not agree with you, but I do get your point. I would say Gallagher is definitely more of a risk then say Cullen at least. I am sure there has been many highly rated 'wonderkids' or have gone out on loan and not performed or never reached their potential.
LB and SG are not going to get it right every time, however even with their current financial restraints, they seem to have a very clear idea and process of the sort of player they want, and the style they want to play - which I think can only be a good thing.
It is a risk but no reason why he can't go straight in and boss things from day 1 - that's what Lee Bowyer did in the Championship and he was physically smaller and only 17 but he was exceptional
my thoughts very much echo others. Very pleased we've got finally someone in (who seems pretty well rated) but Bielik and Cullen have effectively set the bar on expectations for this 'midfield role loan from a Prem club'.
This is potentially a big, impacting player for us so really hope for everyone it works out.
If he is their Academy Player of the Year then he must have some quality about him.
Based on the way Bowyer described him, it sounds like he has a similar traits to a Scott Parker type player - tenacious all rounder. Let’s hope he adds something!
Cullen replacement, will he he be an upgrade though?
He was good enough to make the bench in a Europa League final, have any of our other players done that?
so that automatically makes him better than Cullen does it?
The proof will be in the pudding in how he performs this year on paper it does look like it but who knows.
Maybe. Don't know yet. I certainly don't think Cullen's good enough for Europa League Final teams.... Nor is Bielik in my opinion.
I meant he's likely an upgrade on our other players we have right now. Be interesting to see if he can handle the physicality of the Championship.

Well best get Rob Green signed up
At one point he was England's no.1 so probably better than Amos still.
It's an interesting one and at a more sane, sensibly ran football club, one where you'd be very happy to pick up one of Chelsea's best kids to supplement the squad. I worry though that at 19 our expectations need serious tempering as to the impact he can potentially make and that more generally we don't become over reliant on loanees.

his Chelsea mate, 20 year old Mason Mount (great name b t w) played 38 games for Derby last season and is now a possible to make the Chelsea starting bench .. any young man who can survive at Chelsea with all they have to choose from has just got to be 'good quality'
Have we ever signed this many players with such little experience before , for the league we are entering . it really is a joke to expect that much from these inexperienced (especially at this level ) new players to hit the ground running and help us stay up .
as it stands this will be 10 times more a miracle than last seasons promotion

Bowyer KNOWS his midfielders better than anyone and doesn't sign Rubbish
Good Signing
Believe in Bow! Keep The faith!
lets hope we’ve got the Scott Parker after the loan deal not the pup who played before it .
if we stay up it’ll be a miracle , let’s home this lad is a miracle worker

Good luck Conor

Very useful player if he can do it in the Men's game.
