Good lad. Really no excuse for him not to be a regularly used part of our squad next season.

Hopefully Levi Colwill will do a James and jump up after one championship loan too.

Chelsea Pride has condemned the homophobic chanting aimed at Conor from Leeds fans last night during their game against Crystal Palace.

Has Chelsea Pride inadvertently outed Conor?

It’ll be the standard ‘Chelsea rent boy’ bollocks.

So is Chelsea Pride getting hold of the wrong of the stick?

Doesn't surprise me. The kid has high aspirations and has a pathway to play for one of the best clubs in world football. 99% any other realistic move will be a step down.

Not really. They did the same when it happened to Billy earlier this season. 

It is more like a double entendre. They mean rent boy because he is on loan just like gilmour is. It can also mean gay person from my research on English slang.

Its nothing to do with that, its been sang for decades and is a homophobic slur.

OH! Fair enough. I am an American and have no understanding of some British slangs. Didn't mean to play down the severity of the song 

As far as I can tell it is due to us being the closest club to Westminster and that some the MPs in previous decades were known to have sexual relations with rent boys.

Unfortunately some MPs though less sure if these were the same ones using rent boys also followed Chelsea.

Now Billy and Connor will be targeted in this way just to put them off.

 

On a separate point have been impressed by what I have seen from Connor this season.

Another good performance from Gallagher two goals for the lad the second was an absolute gem. 

Does Gallagher have more scoring pedigree than Mount?

I too posted the same question in the mount thread. 
 

I think it’s a little difficult to say though- both are at 6 goals. But mount doesn’t get to play in his preferred position.

Sample size is too small. We definitely need to pair both in the middle in a 4-3-3 though, might free up our attackers.

Should be odds on for a call up to the World Cup squad if he keeps progressing

Wonder if that hampers in getting a start for England. It will be Sterling, Kane + 1 in the band of 3 up top. In the middle it will be Rice + 2. 

6 goals, 3 assists this season. Like Mount albeit Mount has 1 more assist. What a goal he scored. He literally puts in top class performances for Palace every game. I can't the amount of MOTM performances he has had for them already. Should not sell for any amount and should defo be in the squad next season under all circumstances.

I think England has too many off these quality players ..plus CG is a Chelsea player don’t think he will be taken to the world cup or start.

What a talent this boy is, let him see the season out at Palace and come back to us.

He's getting hyped up. A long way from being mocked by Rudiger on the team bus in Baku. Question is do we let him develop or bring him back, because when our injuries are healed up, there won't be too many minutes for him.

Well Saul can go back to Spain and I would play him ahead of RLC and Barkley all day long.

We've been crying out for goal threat from our midfield for about 5 years, and now here we are with potential two home grown guys that can both potentially hit double figures for the season, in both goals and assists.

TT needs to find a way to get both of them into the team next year ... 

Recall Gallgher now. I would take him over every current Chelsea midfielder except Kante. Tuechel already said he was close to keeping him this season. Send Saul and Barkley packing and put him in a #10 position. He creates opportunities and forces opponents to make mistakes. Those are two areas where Chelsea are lacking. 

It would be stupid not to recall at this point, kinda obvious that Kante and maybe Kovacic will be injured again. Jorginho is struggling as well, beeing overplayed and playing through pain. RLC is nowhere close to good enough for us, to slow releasing the ball, picks the wrong options in the final third and dosen't have the legs to do the defensive work.

Brilliant performance from him. Absolutely everywhere and his quality is very apparent even in a Prem game. He plays on the right side of midfield but in a free manner. Vieira appreciates him to roam around and look for dangerous positions. 

Massive talent. That second goal is an absolute gem.  

I wouldn't recall him. We have an agreement with Palace and will absolutely honour it. 

 

Talked about how much he is enjoying his time at Palace and how much he loves being at the club and hearing his name sung as his 2 goals today.

Palace are said to be preparing a bit to sign him in the summer.
