Nah, not for me. His energy is masking a real lack of finesse. Lots of head down running, but not much else.

Rather play with 10 than sign the snidey headless chicken.

Colwill you say.... worth another cheeky bid?
I'd like a combination of the 2. Dahoud's silk and poise with Gallagher's steel and energy.
That Mac Allister lad at Liverpool perhaps?

If we were going to sign Gallagher, the questions he has to answer are around the subtlety of passing and positional awareness to play in a RDZ side.
It's not something he's really shown so far but maybe RDZ feels like he can coach improvement into him. More likely this is a load of old tripe.
Chelsea are likely to be direct rivals for the next few years in my view, so we don't want to do anything which helps them out of a hole.
As for Colwill. Our chance has long gone. But I definitely see Liverpool making a bid which the Chelsea lawyers and accountants will suggest is a good idea to accept. But probably nobody will listen to them.

He's someone I could see going to West Ham, Fulham (with the Palhinha money when he goes) or Newcastle rather than us.
Aside from the wages & probable lack of profit on an eventual sale, as others have already said, he doesn't seem to have the finesse/brains to fit in. He needs to have his head up thinking about where to pass before he receives or wins the ball, rather than head down, launching into tackles.
As much as we need more energy and steel in midfield, buying that in without the technical ability and (more importantly), footballing brain, just won't work IMO.
Forgetting wages/likelihood of coming to us for a second, I'd much prefer Kalvin Phillips

He has shown what he can do (when at Palace) and my take is he's not being coached properly at Chelsea.
Do I want him, though? Only if we take him (RDZ's call). This, based on the fact that the club knows more about recruitment than I do.
Fitting in well with the cloggers up the road isn't necessarily the best audition for RdZ's silky free-form jazz project.
I fully agree with your second point though.

I'd take him in a heartbeat.
The sort of signig that underwhelms everyone but then he turns out to be incredible.
Performed well in a average palace team and looks decent in an underperfoming Chelsea team

Would you want to come here after a tirade of palace scum..........
Personally think there is a better player there than is currently on show ...

I would love to see him come.. a recent England international, made Chelsea Captain and would give us huge lift in additional resources, energy and increases our depth albeit, right now, not dramatically increasing our quality beyond what we have ; Gilmour as good, but right now, better than Baleba ? (appreciating the different types of player they might be )
He wont come here though.. just can't see Chelsea selling and us being able to afford him, regardless of whether he wants to or not! we also have higher priority positions to fill and Baleba/Gilmour/Hinshelwood/Moran are the mid-term bets for us.

I mean that's outstanding.
It needs to be turned into a chant for someone by Thursday.
Evan Ferguson, you score us goals
Igor Julio you save us goals/you brick shithouse.
Kaoru Mitoma you dribble good.
I don't know I'm not the wordsmith but this is a song/tune BEGGING to be sung!
Is Matt Law taking over as manager from Poch then?
