Yes aware of that - it’s old - was assuming there’s something else in that comment and not just an old story.Chelsea: TikToker admits stalking footballers Mason Mount and Billy Gilmour

A player's value also depends crucially on the view of the manager. A new manager can view players differently. We have to trust in his view.
A player for the starting eleven then?
I'm guessing the post was about the stalker case that was ongoing when he joined but resolved when she was found guilty in June last year. That seemed to coincide with a massive improvement in his game. All in the public domain.
I don't believe we are doing that for one minute. Why would we? There is more to this, Bloom and Barber don't make silly mistakes.

If WBG was being flogged at a fire sale valuation, there'd be a queue of Premier League sides nipping in to pick him up. As far as I can tell, no English clubs have tried to get involved.
As I'm sure I said about 60 pages ago, the mooted sale price does seem to be on the low side, but the football transfer market is very good at determining value due to the wide range of participants.
Beyond that, in Bloom and Barber we have two of the shrewdest operators around. They certainly won't be giving any player away for less than they should.

*Cough* Gyokeres
Green Cross Code Man
Wunt be druv
She is hanging. I met her outside the West stand on the way out after we'd stuffed them on Potter's return. Her boyfriend was lovely but she was nasty and kept calling me a silly **** for some reason.Chelsea: TikToker admits stalking footballers Mason Mount and Billy Gilmour

Like we did with Caicedo? If an injury means we have to hold on to him until January, I'd think he'd understand.
There was demand for Caicedo, he has a significantly higher ceiling than Gilmour, he’d signed a new contract a few months before.
The club have known for weeks Billy wants to leave.

That's really not the same.
The sale of Gyokeres was fair value at the time. No one could have foreseen the quite frankly staggering upward trajectory his career would subsequently take.
All clubs let young players go because they don't look like making the required grade to match the club's ambitions. Most go on to carve out respectable careers some way from the top level of the game, whilst a small handful prove people wrong and go onto greater things. It doesn't mean the original decision to release or sell for a low valuation was a wrong one.
Not if Weiffer is fit. WBG came on as sub at Everton
That's not relevant to whether or not we should have held onto him. Arsenal offered, he wanted to go, we said no and he signed a new contract.
And for weeks we've failed to get a decent offer for him. £15m ish is simply not enough for a PL midfielder we want to keep.

If the club wanted to keep him, the club would be keeping him.
Maybe Bloom can’t negotiate then
Billy Gilmour is basically a better Liam Bridcutt - like Bozza says it’s telling no Premier League sides are in for him
The club have said they want to keep him. Obviously not enough I guess. It's impossible to know what they really think.
As ever, trust the club. If we are honest, if someone had said in May we'd be selling WBG for around £15m, every single one of us would have been surprised by the low figure but, as others have said, there are clearly reasons, the club know what they're doing and they don’t get much wrong.

Fair enough.
I was under the impression that the club employed people to do exactly that. Even half the dumbasses on here could see his potential.
I bleed blue and white but sometimes remove my head from my sphincter to see where the club do occasionally **** up.
I was heavily critical of WBG when he first started playing for us, but believe he's turned into an excellent midfielder. Think it'll be a shame if he goes, especially for the prices being quoted.
If he'd been playing elsewhere and it was us signing him now for £15M, I'd be thinking we're mugging the other club.
