The going rate in England he's a £25-30 million pound footballer - the Chelsea fans absolutely love him and can't understand why Tuchel hasn't got him more involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Slim Stylee Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Lampard wasn’t keen to loan him figuring he’d be better off involved in the first team set up. No idea what Tuchel will do but CFC will know they have a decent asset. Sure loads can happen to derail a career but if someone like Lampard thinks you’re a real prospect then that should be good enough for anyone, tbh.

Andy Robertson was playing for Dundee United at 19 and would have been earning no more than a decent wage at that time. There is no suggestion that Billy Gilmour is Billy big boots and has a poor attitude so let’s see how he progresses. During lockdown he learned sign language so he could communicate with fans who were hard of hearing. Sounds like he’s a decent guy in a decent side working hard to get a game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castle Magyar Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 The Scottish version of Kante - interesting to watch them in the same team - always available, running into space to receive a pass, plays the simple pass, a fantastic performance against the Champions elect and likely brings a dilemma to TT in the games ahead as CFC look to cement qualification to the CL next season and the for the Istanbul Final - from a Scottish perspective, is great to see another Scot involved at such a high level - and a great option for Clarke for Euro 2020 (21) 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good option, and a fantastic footballer. But he's hardly kicked a ball and Steve Clark can pick who likes, he's earned it. Except Burke, he slept with footballer. Useless.

Cruyff Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 (edited) It's a hard call. Scotland have loads of central mids but certainly the likes of Gilmour and Turnbull will be mainstays in the future so it's in our best interests to involve them as soon as possible.

Nookie Bear Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Not really seen enough of him but I think every Scotland squad should always have a handful of young players like Gilmour, Hickey etc to get them used to the environment and the management style.

kingantti1874 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Gilmour should be in the squad, he’s young but we don’t have anyone else with that level of ability. Nathan Paterson from rangers is another.. will Without doubt be Scotland first choice right back. id also take Ryan Gauld.

Tuchel rates him though so he must be pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Square or backwards is fine in certain circumstances, good players can be very effective at it, if you look at the way Man City play there are still a lot of square or backwards passes used to move the ball until a gap forwards appears. I actually think Gilmour and McTominay would be a good fit together as a CDM double act, being able to keep the ball moving in midfield and taking turns getting forward to support attacks.

Bainy Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 If your good enough, your good enough regardless of his age. He should absolutely be involved in the squad. Guy has strolled it in the Premier league the games I've seen him involved in. Very exciting prospect loves to get forward and looks to play a forward pass. Definitely add to the quality in the squad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
