TA跟队Liam再次撰写关于加拉格尔转会的分析专栏，其中也包括了马特森的情况。以下为文章概述：成为第三队长可能是因为窗口期的热烈传闻让加拉格尔再次感受到了自己的可有可无（😢），伯利等高层不希望球员在合同的最后两年内没有续约或出售，所以加拉格尔和马特森的合同对他们来说有些棘手。加拉格尔现在并未开始续约谈判，切尔西是他的第一选择，但他也会考虑他的职业生涯。马特森拒绝了两次长续约提供，位置的模糊也造成他道路的模糊，但一切也仍在考虑中。高层认为他们的超长合同政策将有助于俱乐部实现这避免出现类似芒特转会状况的一目标，但最后要强调的是，无论是留是卖俱乐部都保持着开放的态度，没有什么是绝对的

标题：Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher: Captain, leader and in limbo

切尔西的康纳·加拉格尔（Conor Gallagher）：队长、领袖，陷入困境

Amid the frustration of Chelsea’s familiar failings against Bournemouth, one of the few interesting subplots was confirmation that Conor Gallagheris Mauricio Pochettino’s third choice as captain this season, ahead of several more likely candidates.

With newly minted club captain Reece Jamessidelined by injury and Ben Chilwella substitute, Pochettino still had the option of giving the armband to either of the two oldest players in his young squad, Thiago Silvaor Raheem Sterling. There was also Enzo Fernandezwho, even at 22, already carries a real presence at the heart of this Chelsea team as a World Cup winner.

在切尔西对阵伯恩茅斯的充满挫败感但又常见比赛中，为数不多有趣的事情之一是确认康纳·加拉格尔是毛里西奥·波切蒂诺本赛季队长的第三选择，领先于其他几位更有可能的候选人。

由于新任队长里斯·詹姆斯因伤缺阵，本·奇尔韦尔替补出场，波切蒂诺仍然可以选择将队长袖标交给年轻球队中两名年龄最大的球员蒂亚戈·席尔瓦或拉希姆·斯特林。还有恩佐·费尔南德斯，尽管他才 22 岁，但作为世界杯冠军，他已经成为了切尔西队的核心人物。

Fernandez might also have been the easier political choice given that his talent and price tag ensure he will be a key part of this ambitious Chelsea project for as long as he wants to be.

Starting a Premier Leaguegame with Gallagher as captain was a far bigger statement, coming so soon after a summer transfer window in which he felt oddly expendable.

Yet it was also building upon a trend that began on Chelsea’s pre-season tour of the United States, where Gallagher played more minutes than anyone else. That was admittedly in part because deals for Moises Caicedoand Romeo Laviawere not yet finalised and Lesley Ugochukwuwas a late addition to the tour squad, but it was also because Pochettino values the tenacity, personality and tactical versatility that the Cobham graduate brings to his team.

费尔南德斯也可能是更容易接受的选择，因为他的天赋和身价确保他将成为这个雄心勃勃的切尔西项目的关键部分，只要他愿意。

但以加拉格尔作为队长首发英超比赛是一个更重要的声明，在夏季转会窗口结束后不久，他感觉自己出乎意料的可有可无。【加拉格尔之前就表达过对俱乐部在冬窗时想出售他感到“困惑”】

然而，这也是建立在切尔西季前美国之旅开始的一种态度之上，加拉格尔在美国的出场时间比其他任何人都多。诚然，这在一定程度上是因为莫伊塞斯·凯塞多和罗密欧·拉维亚的交易尚未敲定，而莱斯利·乌戈丘库是后来加入阵容的，但也是因为波切蒂诺看重这位科巴姆毕业生为球队带来的坚韧、个性和战术多样性。

As one of only three outfielders to have started all five of Chelsea’s matches this season (the others being Axel Disasiand Levi Colwill), Gallagher’s prominence under Pochettino stands out because he could so easily have been patrolling another Premier League midfield. Transfer talks with Tottenham Hotspurin the final days of the window were real. Earlier in the summer, West Ham Unitedalso felt Gallagher was gettable as they recruited for the post-Declan Riceera.

Neither club ultimately matched Chelsea’s asking price, believed to be in the region of £50million ($61.8m). But, while the club were resolved to only consider a sale on their terms, the fraught nature of Gallagher’s summer has created an awkward situation for all parties involved.

作为本赛季切尔西全部五场比赛首发的三名外场手【liam真的很喜欢用这个词，意思场上除了门将外的其他所有人球员】之一（另外两位是阿克塞尔·迪萨西和列维·科尔威尔），加拉格尔在波切蒂诺麾下的出色表现尤为突出，因为他可以轻松地在另一支英超中场效力。在转会窗口最后几天与托特纳姆热刺的转会谈判是真实的。今年夏天早些时候，西汉姆联队在为德克兰·赖斯走后时期招募球员时也认为加拉格尔是可以得到的。

两家俱乐部最终都没有达到切尔西的要价，据信在 5000 万英镑（6180 万美元）左右。但是，尽管俱乐部决定只考虑按照他们的条件出售，但加拉格尔夏季的复杂情况造成了让所有相关方尴尬的局面。【在Liam的上一篇文章中表达，切尔西除了在报价方面有要求，也不希望资敌给纽卡这样的球队】

The extensive nature of Chelsea’s squad overhaul in the last two transfer windows means that, incredibly, 24 of Pochettino’s 27-man senior group are contracted at Stamford Bridge until at least June 2026. The three exceptions are Silva (a unique case at 38 years old), Gallagher and fellow academy product Ian Maatsenwho, not coincidentally, also endured a summer of heavy transfer speculation.

Gallagher is out of contract in June 2025, and Maatsen is effectively on the same timeline by virtue of a one-year extension option that Chelsea hold. Both are now in a contractual state that Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital do not want to exist at Stamford Bridge: players who have made it inside the final two years of their deals without being renewed or sold.

Keeping those opposing options open in big-picture talks with players and their representatives is no easy task, as co-sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart have found. Being relentlessly linked with other clubs has not exactly made it simpler to broach a possible contract extension with Gallagher, and there are no live talks.

切尔西在过去两个转会窗口中对阵容进行了大换血意味着：令人难以置信的是，波切蒂诺的 27 人一线队中有 24 人与斯坦福桥的合同至少到 2026 年 6 月为止。三个例外是席尔瓦（38 岁特例）、加拉格尔和青训球员伊恩·马特森（Ian Maatsen）。并非巧合的是，他们也经历了一个夏天的转会传闻。

加拉格尔的合同将于 2025 年 6 月到期，而马特森则因切尔西持有的一年延长选项，实际上也会在同一时间到期。两人现在都处于合同状态，托德·博利和克利尔莱克资本不希望在斯坦福桥未来出现的状态：球员在合同的最后两年内没有续约或出售。

正如联合体育总监保罗·温斯坦利（Paul Winstanley）和劳伦斯·斯图尔特（Laurence Stewart）所发现的那样，在与球员及其经纪人代表的全面谈判中保持两个相反选择都开放并不是一件容易的事。与其他俱乐部持续不断地联系在一起并没有使与加拉格尔可能的合同续约更加简单，目前也没有正在进行的谈判。【原来传闻新赛季会开始和加拉格尔谈判新合同，现在又没有了】

Maatsen turned down several offers to renew in the summer, including one for a six-year contract with a club option for a seventh, before Burnley’s deadline-day approach. That does not mean either player wants to leave Chelsea, only that some variables are yet to align in favour of a new agreement.

One of those is that the pecking order of Pochettino’s new-look squad remains unclear. Gallagher is starting every Chelsea game right now, but he knows the situation could change significantly when Caicedo, Lavia and Carney Chukwuemekareturn from injury.

马特森在夏天拒绝了几项续约提议，其中包括一份为期六年的合同，并在伯恩利压哨之前提供了一份有在第七年的俱乐部选择权的合同。这并不意味着他们二人中有任何一名球员想离开切尔西，只是一些变数尚未确认不利于签订新合同。【和虎扑总结有些出入，我觉得原文这句话不代表着他俩都不愿意签新合同，除了马特森，加拉格的谈判甚至尚未开始😂】

其中之一是，波切蒂诺的新阵容的首发顺序仍不清楚。加拉格尔现在每场切尔西比赛都会首发，但他知道当凯塞多、拉维亚和卡尼·楚库梅卡伤愈归来时，情况可能会发生重大变化。

Maatsen’s path is muddied by positional uncertainty. Pochettino’s use of Colwill at left-back does not help the 21-year-old Dutchman, nor does the failure to offload Marc Cucurella. Competing for attacking midfield minutes looks no easier with Cole Palmeradded to a mix that already included Noni Madueke, Mykhailo Mudrykand Sterling, and will be thickened further when Chukwuemeka and Christopher Nkunkuare back.

Neither Maatsen nor Gallagher is particularly incentivised to commit to a long-term extension. Maatsen turned down the offer from Burnley, who met Chelsea’s valuation, in part because of questions about the club’s Premier League viability and manager Vincent Kompany’s long-term future at Turf Moor. There is a belief that bigger, more established top-flight clubs could come calling in January.

马特森的道路因场上位置的不确定性而变得模糊。波切蒂诺在左后卫位置上使用科尔威尔并没有帮助到这位21岁的荷兰人，也未能出售马克·库库雷拉也同样不利。科尔·帕尔默加入到已经包括诺尼·马杜克、米哈伊洛·穆德里克和斯特林在内的阵容中，争夺攻击型中场的上场时间看起来并不容易，当楚库梅卡和克里斯托弗·恩昆库归队时，进攻型中场的上场竞争会进一步加剧。

马特森和加拉格尔都没有特别大的动力签署长期续约。马特森拒绝了伯恩利的报价，伯恩利满足了切尔西的估值，部分原因是对俱乐部英超联赛的生存可行性以及主教练文森特·孔帕尼在特夫摩尔的长远未来的质疑。有人相信，更大、更成熟的顶级俱乐部可能会在一月份前来联系。

Gallagher’s stock will continue to rise if he closes out 2023 as a regular starter for Chelsea, which could have the double effect of strengthening his hand in potential contract negotiations while intensifying the market for his services in the winter window. His preference has always been to play for his boyhood club, but he will be guided by what is best for his career. Maintaining his place in the Englandsquad is a significant factor.

Chelsea consider both players’ situations to be open. Gallagher has the chance to play his way into a more secure long-term role at Stamford Bridge under Pochettino, while Maatsen’s presence formed part of the club’s thinking in sanctioning Lewis Hall’s divisive departure for Newcastle United.

如果加拉格尔在2023年结束时成为切尔西的常规首发球员，他的身价将继续上涨，这可能会产生双重效果，一方面增强他在潜在合同谈判中的影响力，另一方面加强他在冬窗的转会市场中的影响力。他一直更想要为儿时的俱乐部效力，但他也会以对他职业生涯最有利的选择为参考。保持他在英格兰队的位置是一个重要影响因素。

切尔西认为两名球员的情况都是开放的。加拉格尔有机会在波切蒂诺的带领下在斯坦福桥发挥更稳定的长期作用，而马特森的存在构成了俱乐部批准刘易斯·霍尔转会纽卡斯尔联的考虑的一部分。

【意思就是不是一定要卖，留下也可以他来都有作用】

In the future, there is a determination to avoid the acrimonious circumstances that surrounded Mason Mount’s defection to Manchester Unitedwith one year remaining on his Chelsea deal. Boehly and Clearlake believe their policy of hyper-long contracts will help the club to achieve this in time, even if it does not prevent players from agitating to leave Stamford Bridge or be given renewals on improved terms.

None of that applies in the cases of Gallagher and Maatsen.

What happens with both players from here is impossible to predict, and their level of involvement under Pochettino may not be an entirely solid indicator of the decisions that Chelsea ultimately make on their futures.

未来，决心避免梅森·芒特在与切尔西的合同还剩一年的情况下转投曼联的尖锐局面。伯利和克利尔莱克相信，他们的超长合同政策将有助于俱乐部实现这一目标，即使它不能阻止球员们试图离开斯坦福桥或以更好的条件获得续约。【但我倾向于芒特曼联不是超长合同的唯一原因，顶多是原因之一😂毕竟在这之前就开始了】

这些都不适用于加拉格尔和马特森的情况。

这两名球员未来会发生什么难以预测，他们在波切蒂诺麾下的参与程度可能并不能完全可靠地表明切尔西最终对他们的未来做出的决定。

【首发，队长，都不能成为他们将继续留在切尔西的标志，还是有可能被出售，所以跟队强调对于他们的未来切尔西一直抱有开放的态度】
