If Galloway has a season-long loan at WBA in the PL under Pulis, that'd be a good phase of his development in my humble opinion.
Whatever fans and posters might think of Pulis's football style, he knows how to set up teams to defend with strength, discipline and commitment.
I expect Galloway to return to Everton with a year's solid PL experience under his belt and be ready to contend for a first-team (certainly first-team squad) starting place as a left-back (eventually replacing Baines? ) or centre-back (eventually replacing Jagielka? ) .
As it stands, I just don't see Oviedo or Funes Mori as convincing options in those positions.
If Galloway is destined to be a centre-back, then I hope that Garbutt can deliver consistency at left-back during his loan spell at Wigan and prove himself worthy of a chance at Everton.
We also have other promising young defenders who will hopefully develop - and we're being linked with good. experienced defenders in the transfer market who'll give us defensive strength and squad depth for the time being,

I agree Sid this will be good for Galloway and Everton. Pulis is very good at defensive football and from what I saw on Saturday Galloway will certainly learn a lot defensively I don't think he will improve much going forward though so I hope he is developed as a CB not LB to be honest.

''strength, discipline and commitment. ''

Perhaps the 'holy trinity' of all defenders Sid?
Coming back in a years time with all three enhanced under TP sounds like a plan mate.

The thing about premier league loans for our youngsters it shows them that 1 they have a quality already. 2 makes them push to be good enough to come back here and fight for a place next year. 3 most importantly the game to game side of things is a lot different from the under 23s. Good luck to him.
