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

[Cowfold Seagull]

Find it a bit weird that this guy had a chant before he’d even played a second for us while some players have been here years and don’t have a chant, but there we go

This is very true actually.

In fact of our current and more recent regular long term players how many have had a chant named after them? Deceptively few l'd say.

Off the top of my head, Dunky, Sollly March, Yves Bissouma, Neal Maupay, Knocky,Glenn Murray, Steve Sidwell, Conor Goldson, Uwe Hunemaier, Bruno of course.

Are there any more that people remember?

I know you can't judge a player in 4 minutes, but I did it in a split second. Gilmour made one little Lallanaesque reverse turn to defend the ball and get himself out of a very tight space and I thought 'He'll do.'

I thought the same after watching about 30 seconds of footage the club shared from the training ground. Lovely touches and use of space - clearly an excellent footballer.

Leo Ulloa of course. Inigo Calderon. (Aye aye) Ashley Barnes.

Seems like Potter was lined up to go there a while ago. Cucu and Gilmore were part of the deal.

How?

"We're going to sack our manager in about three weeks and appoint Graham Potter so we'll pay a little extra for Cucurella and you can get Gilmour for a little less".

If it was part of the deal, which is just highly unbelievable, why didnt they sack Tuchel then and appoint Potter immediately?

Stupidest comment so far on this thread. Well done.

This is impressively daft.

Incredible bad timing for the kid.

Disgraceful. Not the club's fault. What can you do? Let's hope the new boss sees a central role for him.

We could always loan him back to Chelsea. (Or sell him with Caicedo in January.)

 

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

I wonder if it was players like Billy G saying they would rather go to little old Brighton and play for Potter than stay at Chelsea with Tuchel that made Chelsea think about poaching Potter?

Personally I think all these ideas that people should feel sorry for Gilmour as he was desperate to play in a team coached by Potter and now he's going to be really annoyed are bollox. He left Chelsea to get more game time, Potter being a great coach was a bonus to that, but primarily he left to get game time which he had no chance of at Chelsea. With Potter at Chelsea Gilmour is still on the bench each week, or not involved at all, but at Brighton (with any coach) he has more of a chance.

Makes no sense. Why didn’t they just loan him out to another club rather than sell them ?

Game time Potter promised him if he came obviously.

To butter our head honchos up.

But why would they ‘sacrifice’ one of their exciting young players that Boehly allegedly wanted to keep but Tuchel pushed the button to sell

And with the release clause no one needs buttering up
