They've since updated it with the full vid which puts a totally different slant on it. Sounds like it's not impossible that he goes on loan but very unlikely. There goes the Euros for Billy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabinho Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Reports saying Lampard likely to be sacked today. Will probably put paid to any chance if Gilmour going out on loan as I expect any new manager will want a look at the entire squad before letting anyone go out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Would be a real shame if this is another setback after his injury. If he does play under Tuchel then I could see him playing a bit further forward like Verratti. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I've seen Gilmour play at the base of the midfield, he's been brilliant - anytime he's been player further forward he's looked like a lost chicken. Let's just hope Tuchel fancies him ahead of Jorginhio. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnoustie Young Guvnor Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I think this will be good for Gilmour, Tuchel has shown faith in young players in his career and plays a style of football that will suit Gilmour very well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they don't, they are all completely different types of midfielders. Gilmour is a deep creative player, McGinn is a destructive box-to-box player who tends to play higher up and McTominay is a bit of a mix of the two who can play more or less any midfield role.

I think it has perfect balance but I’m sure we’ll find out in practice at some point! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Anyways, Lampard has been sacked. Could be make or break for Gilmour now at Chelsea 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think at 19 its a bit early to define the role of Billy Gilmour. I wouldn't be surprised to see him playing further forward in future. And strolling it as usual. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wants a game at prop for the All Blacks that's the way its gonna be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about as clear as I have ever seen in a young player what Gilmour's talents are and it's very obviously dictating play from a deep role. The Pirlo, Xavi, Makalele role, call it whatever you want - get the ball, move it on, always be available - that's him in a nutshell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'd prefer to see him play a few different roles at professional level, as he has at youth level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He reminds me of a young xavi, every single pass goes exactly where intended, long and short He would run the game if we capped him, better than a McGregor can Faroes would be perfect game to try it out Still don't see it happening 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
