Thierry Ennui Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 52 minutes ago, RamsPolls said: The question is... If we seriously want Gallagher, can we get him? He's an out and out striker. Wolves are able to give him a first team spot and basically 90 minutes of football week in week out in his favourite position, can we offer that? I don't think we can. We'd end up throwing him out wide or in behind another striker. Not massively confident we can get this one over the line. Wolves play 1 up front and have just signed Bonatini, a tall highly-rated stiker, so to say Gallagher will play week-in-week out is incorrect.

Nuwtfly Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Been thinking about this one a lot. 6ft 4 striker. Attributes include hold-up play, ability in the air, ability to run in behind defenders (despite his size), and has a knack for bringing players into the game... ...possible replacement for Chris Martin? I don't want to see Chrissy go at all, and am delighted to have him back, but Rowett has struck me as a guy who likes a forward man with energy as well as a bit of brute force. Have wondered for a while now whether Martin is, in fact, the man Gary wants up top in an ideal world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a great post mate, iv been thinking exactly the same. i think the honest answer is that if rowett had a blank canvas chris martin isnt his type of player hes sung martins praises when it became clear he was coming back and we all know what chrissy brings to the table but i honestly can see him getting phased out with time ill be disapointed but will undersrand why if it does indeed happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DcFc Dyycheee Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Be a weird one if we get him. Surely Martin will leave if we do? 3 strikers all wanting first team football fighting for one spot? Hmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekingofbuxton Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 He'd probably get more games at Birmingham, unless we are selling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought the Villa team bus was full ? Surely Dr Tony wouldn't trust Brucie with any further signings before he gets his P45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistaram Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Would love to get him Rowett likes a power house up front But Villa must be favorites they got Hogan injured again Kodja not ready to return yet and Agbonlahor finished they are desperate for a striker hope I'm wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hintonsboots Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Would he want to go to relegation favourites though? He would back on the bench as soon as Hogan and Kodja return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC1388 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Wolves apparently in for another foreign striker instead, Villa are in for Crouch so would leave us and Birmingham left in for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MackworthRamIsGod Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I think Martin would be sold, knock down price of under 5 million, plus a top earner off the wage bill. He must have been given a fair old rise by Rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolves were keen and could blow us out the water with wages, although i think their level is above Martin now. Hull after a striker, Villa rumoured to be looking for a striker, Boro proving with Christie and Shotton they would spunk good money on potentially average players. It could happen.

Ambitious Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I'm surprised this rumour is still lingering around. I'm not entirely sure what to make of it. Gallagher has always been highly rated to my knowledge, but I'd only want him if we could sign him. I don't think he would be ahead of Martin or Nugent at this moment in time, perhaps would need a run of games to find his feet. If I was him, I'd join Birmingham. He's guaranteed a fairly decent role in the squad, plus he has some old fashioned creative players around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
