He's going to end up in a weirdo league I think. Shakhtar or Sparta Prague or something similar to that.

You already are wrong. Stop digging!
Nope, he's a good baller but you don't want to see him try to twist and turn some opponent away in build up. He's a bit slow nowadays.

Think you have to trust the new bosses assessment that Gilmour isn’t what he wants in Midfield- remember he spent has loads of time analysing the squad and with it pre season. Yes on his day Billy is good enough but also some weak attributes I.e lightweightness/ lack of height (yes really!!) does him no favours. Having said that his pinpoint passing was his strongest attribute. Good luck Billy it’s worked out for all parties IMO
Blimey you're a miserable git
This story just gets more tragic by the day. First he hears he's no longer wanted by the club, and now he's told he's become surplus to his parents' requirements.
I'm imagining an Eric Olthwaite type domestic scenario for poor wee Billy....
So he’s off if Romano is correct.
Not sure how we’ll replace 0 goals, 3 assists, 17% shooting accuracy, 55% tackles won and 33% crossing accuracy but I guess TB’s data does.

Disappointed, but best of luck to the lad. He had a rough start here signing for Potter from Chelsea right before Potter f'ed off to Chelsea. And then the whole crazed stalker thing.

Would have been very much part of the assessment process looking at his stats and videos

No you don't. If you did, you wouldn't keep going on about it hoping to be proved right.

We are so doomed!!
Isnt that the same reason why Potter left us to join Chelsea

Hmm …came on as sub after 82 mins ….played the majority of the MU game where I think it’s generally felt he had a good game…so in my view that comment is total bllx
You spent the entire last season moaning about the lack of replacement for Caicedo, who in 22/23 - according to the same site - scored 1 goal, 1 assist, only managed to 50% tackles won and 47% crossing accuracy.
Bissouma had one or two lucky hits out of too many attempts, Caicedo scored two goals, Stephens was no goal machine in the PL, your old favorite Liam Bridcutt has scored five goals in 400 games or something. Why are people expecting defensive midfielders to score a bunch of goals? It has never been the case. Its one of the most goal shy positions in football, central defenders included.
Geez.

He played the full game Vs Everton and was roasted time and time again, by an average winger. And was way out of his depth Vs man u. I sincerely hope he's not starting tomorrow, it's unfair on him and the team.

What are you talking about? More to the point, who are you talking about? You have noticed the thread title, have you? - Billy Gilmour is not and never was a winger.

You know what. The loss of no other player has saddened me as much as WBG leaving. Other big names annoyed me, Ali Mac made me happy for him, but I'll miss Dunk to Billy, a quick spin and a perfect pass zipped across the turf to the feet of Pedro. Those coming in have small boots to fill.
There's a separate thread within this thread about Hinshelwood and I didn't start it !
