Maybe he will turn out to be in time, however at the moment he's playing youth football and getting the odd appearance in a mickey mouse cup competition. I think some need a reality check............ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who thinks that Christie will ever be good enough to be in the matchday squad with a world class team like Chelsea needs to seek some serious psychiatric advice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremiah Cole Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Not sure how anyone can say Gilmour is world class. Because 18 year olds don’t become regulars in the matchday squad of a world class team unless they are world class. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodhull Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Unless the definition of World Class has become incredibly broad all of a sudden I’d say there are plenty of players who have played regularly for Chelsea this season who aren’t world class. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Gilmour gets last 3 minsHe’s clearly out of favour. Finished, if you will. Needs a move abroad - perhaps Germany or Portugal. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's not world class I have no idea what is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisal Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Chelsea are a top team, But they also have a transfer ban. Which is undoubtedly helping Gilmour's 1st team chances. Not a bad thing though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's doing tremendously we'll just now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremiah Cole Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Hudson-Odoi, on the bench at Chelsea, same as Gilmour, same age as Gilmour.... on the bench for England tonight. Gilmour not even in the Scotland squad, never mind the bench Crazy Never mind, we’ve got Shinnie instead No wonder we’re shite 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Also worth saying that the Republic of Ireland are starting Lee O’Connor and Troy Parrot tonight, in what is the first professional appearance for both. O’Connor is a 19 year old centre back at Celtic (I’d genuinely never heard of him) and Parrot is 17 year old Tottenham striker. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kebab Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Pretty sure that Wales have a couple of players that are regular squad members from Liverpool and you only see them in the Carabooooo Cup ties!!!Also didn’t England take Theo Walcott to a World Cup and he hadn’t even made a first team appearance for Arsenal??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuro Posted November 15, 2019 Author Share Posted November 15, 2019 Aye but what we've been doing has been working great the last twenty years so.we should just keep at it and ignore what other more successful countries do, what would they know. Holland cap 18 year olds with 3 senior appearqnces, and Wales and Ireland regularly cap players with none. The though I don't think there's a rush with gilmour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 If it was a position we were short in, I think he'd have been called up. But we have some good options already at CM and I don't think Gilmour has showed enough just yet to prove he should start ahead of Fleck, Christie or McGinn. Would be extremely harsh to drop those players to shoe-horn a young boy in just because he plays for Chelsea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilarious that folk think it's silly to call up the likes of Gilmour, especially for nonsense games like these two coming up. Just about every other country in the world doesn't hesitate to cap these types of players, we tell them "yur no gid enough yit". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harry94 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Is there any chance at all of Gilmour being nabbed by someone else? If so, I'd have him around the squad and capped on those grounds alone if that was an issue! In all seriousness though, you've got a guy who people are hailing as world class and the next Xavi etc coming through at a big club. I don't really think any of us are qualified to comment on what environment is going to be the best for him to play his trade right now but I you get a squad of 23 at international level and if the management wanted to go the route of Wales and reserve a few places for these sorts of players to make up the numbers I've got no issues with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it think he's definitely committed to Scotland. He will go out on loan next season imo and that will be a good time to start calling him up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
