I think he's a certainty to be in the next squad, if he can stay fit, and I think he's got every chance of getting himself a Cap in the next International window. He's an incredible footballer and at his age, surely one of the very best in the world.
No chance despite me agreeing with your second sentence wholeheartedly.
That’s what will keep him with us for a while yet. Along with the fact he’s not lightning quick.
Not sure it is going that great for Gallagher in Madrid....
I think it's going pretty well...

sometimes quickness of thought is better than quickness in pace and he certainly is very quick thinking.
Agreed, but at the elite level in Jack’s positions you often need both, which is why Pascal Gross played nearly 250 games for us and not for one of the really big boys.
Yep and Hinshelwood’s ceiling should be higher than Gross’s, but it doesn’t detract from my point that the reason we’ll be able to keep him for longer than some might expect is because the elite level clubs will be weary of his lack of pace (he’s not slow - just not rapid). After several seasons of him proving that he can compete at a high level without being as quick as a Baleba, for example, then bigger clubs will be more likely to turn their attention to him.
Don't disagree about his pace and to be honest if that puts the big boys off then great .
