Bournemouth v Chelsea (PL) Sat 6th May 2023 15:00 GMT

I don’t agree. Mount is a fine player but I feel Gallagher will end up with more goals.

Mounts goal & assist tallys prior to this season say otherwise, unless Gallagher develops further himself I don't see it happening.

Plenty of opportunities for both though next season, healthy competition in the squad.

Just can't see Gallagher being here next season. He is one of the few commoditiies that we have that we can move on and gain soem money to ease FFP without it really hurting us.

I can agree with that, yet I think our team will do better when we have goal scoring, hard working midfielders. We didn’t build the team around Ramires but we did well when he was there. Did we build the team around Lampard. Certainly he only worked in a 4 3 3

A goalscoring midfield is always welcome but in term of how we want to build this team, you move gallagher to the side and try to fit in the player that you want build around first.

If after that, you see that a hardworking goal scoring midfield is what you need, Gallagher is a fantastic option. 

Let's say we play 4231. Is Nkunku better as that 10 or on the LW. Let's just say LW. What kind of a 10 do we want? A gallagher or a Mount or a Kai. It will depend who is the st, etc2.

I like Gallagher but honestly can't think of a single thing he has to his game that Mount isn't better at, Gallagher is MountLite

Seconded. Mount has superior fine skills. I love Gallagher for his energy and commitment but I doubt you can develop fine skills at his age.

Well I've been wrong so many times it don't make no matter. Gallagher scored his goals playing midfield for Crystal Palace. Mount scored his from effectively left wing playing for Chelsea.

I've seen Mount mis hit many shots, essentially not having that coolness under pressure that marks out natural strikers. He should have scored more goals in my opinion and perhaps if he hadn't been injured he might have done this season. Yet im unconvinced.

From what I've seen Gallagher doesn't lose his cool in the same way.

Mount is better at link play, and assists. 

I also think Gallagher's work rate and ability to tackle in midfield is way better than Mount's as the latter is a naturally more forward player best with the ball at his feet. So Gallagher is natural midfielder who can score goals whereas Mount is either a wide attacker or a No 10.

Still even though that's what I think I haven't seen enough of Gallagher to really tell. Certainly seen plenty of the great Mason Mount.
