[Football] Norwich fans tell Billy Gilmour to f*** off back to Chelsea, how about BHA step in?

How pathetic are Norwich fans blaming a loan player for their failures? If we can set aside the match was against Palace, if available would BHA fans want Billy? I would jump at the chance to have him on loan (or signed); one of Scotlands best players.

How would he improve what we already have?

Saying that he is one of the best players from Scotland doesn't mean an awful lot anjymore. About the only player from north of the border that l would be interested in is Andrew Robertson, and obviously he is well out of your range.

 

[SeagullinExile]

Nope.

 

[Springal]

Not sure we need another midfielder. And apparently he's made enough appearances that Chelsea can't recall him.

Sadly this is another case of entitled fans expecting 'better' from what is a young lad (20 years old) rather than looking at the wider issues at play. Norwich were dire without Gilmour, and they are dire with Gilmour. Not sure he is the reason they are struggling so much (again)

I’m not sure if you’ve noticed but unlike the likes of Norwich, Palace & Southampton, we’re not in the business of developing Chelsea players by giving them EPL minutes.

We prefer to steal their top prospects (Lamptey) and give minutes to OUR OWN fantastic young players like Richards, Mwepu, Moder, Mac Allister and Alzate who have all been capped by much superior international sides than ****ing Scotland. A central midfielder is the very last position we need cover for.

an exciting young developing player getting good experience at a high level, well worth a punt IMHO; squad player Im not saying start him straight away. I think he could be a useful addition to the squad. Excellent at intercepting the ball, distribution, a ball player and in the mould of what I believe GP wants.

 

[Rugrat]

I've got a mate who's a Norwich STH and he reckons he's shitehouse

 

[lawros left foot]

Is he one of the best players from Scotland, in the same way that Wombling Merry Christmas is one of the best Wombles songs?

MOM in Scotland's 0-0 victory over England at Wembley earlier this year. Gilmour IN!

He's not going to significantly improve our midfield so won't be starting. There is no point loaning him to sit on the bench in place of someone like Richards and hinder the development of one of our own prospects.

Norwich are paying the penalty for not investing enough in the squad last summer, their squad is full of Championship quality footballers.

They did invest £60M. But they also don't have rich owners, like us, who are prepared to underwrite £10M's+ of losses every year.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Terrible decision by Chelski to loan him to Norwich. Hindsight of course but I can’t imagine this is good for his development. In answer to the question; unsure, I haven’t seen enough of him.

 

[pure_white]

Whilst its easy to agree with comments about not another midfielder haven't we enough etc., I suggest a short term loan may not be a bad idea as clubs now need bigger squads to handle te effects of covid.

 

[Justice]

How many times does the club have to say loaning players into the club is not part of the business model

 

[Change at Barnham]

Loans and buy backs are something we no longer get involved in.

We aren't a nursery side for anyone. We grow and harvest our own crops.

I remember us pinning our failures on loan players a few years ago. If he looks like he’s making little effort and just strutting around the place I can understand their frustration.

No I wouldn’t have him on loan now. He doesn’t improve our side at the moment. Would probably sign him if the option was there but it isn’t as Chelsea are keen on him.

Gilmour will be a decent player. Right now he is developing, which means inevitable inconsistencies. Sometimes he'll be great and sometimes not. It was obvious that this was going to be a season for him where minutes on the pitch was important even if he might not be delivering goals/assists or MOTM performances every week. A season like this is important for him, and important for Chelsea, but maybe not always so great for Norwich. They need someone to deliver each week. It's great that he's getting this opportunity but its the reason we've stopped with these loans. Norwich are lucky to have a potential future star, it would have been better if it was one of their own to develop, but they probably needed someone else or someone along side him with more experience.

Well the finger(s) of blame had to point at someone

He looked decent when Scotland thrashed us 0-0 and won the Euros at a canter. Now looks lost amongst the general dross surrounding him at Norwich. No thanks.
