Leeds Super Fans react to Conor Gallagher snub
Leeds United were hit with the transfer blow of reportedly missing out on Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher this week.
It has been widely reported that the England youth international has chosen a move to Crystal Palace over Elland Road.
90min even suggested that Gallagher had visited Thorp Arch and completed his medical before changing his mind.
Leeds have been looking for a midfielder to offer more competition in their squad after numerous injuries last season.
Marcelo Bielsa was very keen on Gallagher and saw him as one who could potentially be perfect in this all-action system.
Stuart Dallas is likely to start as the number one central midfield option ahead of Kalvin Phillips, and guaranteed minutes is something that looks to have caught his eye.
Gallagher was ever-present for West Brom last season and will want to continue that momentum to try and catch the eye at Chelsea.
We asked our esteemed panel of MOT Super Fans on our Leeds Insider Facebook page if this was a huge loss, but they argued otherwise.
Many reacted in a similar manner, claiming that it was Gallagher’s loss and they want players who are desperate to play for the club in the Whites’ shirt.
Here’s what they said below…
Gallagher was involved in a couple of heavy defeats against the Whites last season for West Brom, and he could suffer a similar fate again.
Many fans were left praying that Leeds can demolish Palace twice next season, something which would leave to big jeers in Gallagher’s direction should the move be complete.
