[Albion] Napoli interested in Billy Gilmour **Sold 30/08/24**

[Lady Whistledown]

Let us never speak of that free kick again

I was too busy being grateful it wasn't Dunk taking it to worry about Billy swatting it straight into the wall.

 

[METALMICKY]

Let us never speak of that free kick again

And we've got a new set piece coach. Looks like his first job was to say ' move away from the ball Dunky '. In fairness that kick was too close too central today. Getting it up and then down would have taken something special.

As everyone else has commented thought he was immense today.

 

[Hendrax]

amazing performance today, as usual. Never really puts a foot wrong. Resolute professional.
JPvH MotM for me though. solid.

never wanted him to go so very happy.

 

[sparkie]

Absolutely ZERO chance we are selling Gilmour after today's performance.

£35 million+. Absolute minimum now.

 

[zefarelly]

Everyones for sale at the right price. . . . Todays performance has merely confirmed TB and the clubs wisdom in investing in him.

He's 5 times the player that left a toxic swamp by the Thames. And 5 times the value, to the right team.

 

[GT49er]

Excellent today. Why sell him to be replaced by a player new to the club and untested? In my opinion he should absolutely stay with the Albion.

.........and also, if he keeps on turning in MOTM (or near MOTM) performances, it's his place to lose. Newcomers might have their work cut out to oust him.
As it should be.

 

[Triggaaar]

We were just relieved that Dunk wasn’t taking it.

They were practicing free-kicks in training last month and Dunk said he could take them. Apparently Hürzeler just laughed.

Was his second job to teach them to play all opponents onside when defending, and then to leave them fighting over who'd take the free header?

 

[Flounce]

Selling WBG seems very odd and short sighted as he was playing and shining in game 2 of the season as an injury replacement. Madness

 

[B-right-on]

Apparently O'Reilly is a bit of a set piece wizz. He'll probably take over PGs duties if so.

WBG. He was brilliant today. Last season showed that we lacked depth of a squad, surely bringing in the newbies should mean that we also keep the best of what we have?

Moder and Dahoud should go long before Billy's name is thrown about.

Yes of course. The only exception would be when we get offers to big to turn down. That's not the case with Billy, so if we're selling him, it's because we feel there are at least 2 people ahead of him. Maybe it's Wieffer and Baleba?

Moder and Dahoud should go long before Billy's name is thrown about.

Dahoud will 100% go if someone can pay for him, so that's not a question.

 

[Weststander]

I wish there was another Fans Forum this week.

I’d indignantly accuse PB of freezing Gilmour out of our club .

Baleba who Gilmour was preferred to?

 

[sparkie]

Top performance today from Billy.

I hope we add a bit to the asking price.

I’d prefer us to tell them “not for sale”

Baleba is still improving. If the manager prefers Gilmour to Baleba and everyone else (save Wieffer) then WBG won't be going. If he goes, then it's because he's not preffered.

Dear Napoli

Thanks for your interest.

we will not be entertaining offers

[Shaktarman]

Got told the deal fell through - not a clue how reliable it is. Hope it’s true.

You're not referring to the post above yours are you? Because I'm not convinced that's an official communication from the club.

New contract for Billy ?
