[Albion] Billy Gilmour SINGED on a four-year contract

[Justice]

Well, they had better be quick in making up their minds, with just 2 days to go…
Would it be the first time a player left Chelsea for Brighton so as to move up the League?

What about Dale Jasper RIP was talented Chelsea academy player at the time.

 

[Stato]

Indeed.

It was one of the common misunderstandings about buy-back clauses, but indeed the player could just say no - obviously there's a ****load of laws preventing him from being forced to change his employer (and thus in some cases forcing the player to move to another country etc - there's probably some UN shit preventing that).

Another one is that the club couldnt sell him to another club. But if Chelsea had a £60m buyback clause or something, Brighton could still sell him for £50m or £70m to Melchester Rovers. All it means is that if Chelsea pay £60m, Brighton will be forced to accept the bid.

If you think that Melchester has that sort of money, then you're living in a land of fantasy. They were already reduced to signing Spandau Ballet on a free transfer back in the 1980s.

A nice piece of analysis on Gilmour, admittedly written before his career stuttered on loan at Norwich.

I’d love us to get this done. Think he’s got great potential. We may have to give up on our no buy-back policy to get it over the line. If we actually have one. We’ve already broken the no loans policy most of us thought we had.

 

[Live by the sea]

Gilmour is a top quality footballer with the right motivation and manager . It’s a def yes , Miles better than Barkley .

In the Chelsea squad travelling to Southampton

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Naylor Said Yes, but Chelsea only want a loan and it is illegal for us to loan him.

Can't see the negotiations getting far, tbh

 

[Mancgull]

Maybe they’ll need a bit of spare money for their £1bn bid for Zaha.

Where does it say that ?

Well some is fact - the rules don't allow us to loan him. Naylor Said Yes in The Athletic. So for this to happen Chelsea have to soften their stance on wanting a loan - multiple reports of this across different sources.

well if chelsea weren't going to sell him whatsoever and we can't loan him then i imagine the negotiations would be over by now

 

[Marshy]

The more I think about this one the more I like it

I suspect we’ve got something they want (again).

A set of used kit?
I can’t think of anything that we’d take Gilmour + cash for.

I don't think we've got cover for what MacAllister gives us, namely a deeper lying CM with a range of top quality passing.

He could also play Mac's current role, with Mac replacing Lallana in the No. 10 role. And if things don;t work out we could always sell him to the Old Firm and get half our money back.

This move makes sense.

Would the answer be to buy young Levi, opening the door for the Gilmore loan?

 

[WhingForPresident]

SSN claiming we could loan him if an option to buy is included- surely that's not true?!

It's not true because it's simply not possible under PL rules.

You can only have 1 player on loan from another PL club at a time, so with Colwill here already we cannot loan another Chelsea player in. The only way we can sign Gilmour on loan is if we either sign Colwill permanently (unlikely as I'm sure we wanted a permanent deal when we sold them Cucurella but we couldn't come to an agreement) or we terminate that loan deal (not going to happen).

Loan with obligation to buy?

I know, what’s the point as it’s a dressed up sale but maybe from an accountancy perspective? Appreciate we aren’t in a poor position financially

Edit, to add, do we have the option to attach milestones to the obligation to buy? Not sure if this would count as a loan though?
