His career as a midfielder should greatly benefit from Conte's coaching. I dare say he will add 'verticalization' to Billy's game.Good luck to him, always welcome back.

[Albion] Napoli interested in Billy Gilmour **Sold 30/08/24**
- Thread starter Bozza
- Start date
Yeah, we definitely disagree here. Saying we don't want him to go is either a) to keep the price up a bit, or b) because we want him in the squad, not first 11. I'm guessing b).
We're paying £30/£40m on new players who we don't know for sure will adapt and become first 11 regulars. There's just no way that we're letting someone we consider starting 11, go for £20m. No way.

He's not necessarily. Per the Athletic we're open to offers.

Indeed. Billy’s transfer fee has been and will always be restricted by his lack of goal contributions. Not entirely a criticism but he rather falls between two stools - not an attacking midfielder and not a defensive midfielder - a playmaker who occupies a central space, does what he does very well, but it’s not a super star role that attracts mega-£££££££s)

@El Presidente posted this graphic last night. Seems that Napoli, like ourselves, are no slouches at 'adding market value to new signings'. Maybe that's why they're hopeful of buying WBG at a knockdown price?
Maybe he wants to go ?

From what I’ve been told he’s interested in the move in as far as if we agree a transfer fee he’ll happily go but he isn’t pushing for it in any way and would be equally happy to stay here.
Everton have been interested before.
I think after they are forced to sell Branthwaite in a couple of days, they might grab him on deadline day.
Exactly. This idea we are letting him go to be charitable. Napoli are a HUGE club. Likely to be back in Europe next season under one of the most successful managers around who rates him. Of course he may want to experience that.

The whole thing is very weird. WBG seems / seemed very happy here and is / was playing at the very top of his game. What gives?

We do know "Not being frozen out".
Perhaps Napoli approached his agent and Gilmour is very interested.
Whilst the Albion, subject to a fee they consider acceptable, are sticking to their tried n trusted any individual may leave if it's right for the club.
If he stays, it'll still be fine. We're not talking about a sulker.

Really suprised one of the promoted clubs aren't interested in taking him on loan tbh. If they don't pretty sure an overseas club will take a punt.
Possible, but if he's a first choice player I'd expect the club to say 'that's ok, we won't stand in your way, but it has to be a proper offer'. And a proper offer for a 23 year old top half PL midfielder who we want to keep, is not <= £20m
If we loan Moder, he'll leave for free at the end of the loan. That's why we're open to a sale.

That's so suspicious though.Decent pro giving 100% wherever he plays
Why isn't he just sitting on the bench, counting his salary and releasing new tracks like Locadia would have?
