Player Watch: Bryan Gil

[Studsy23]

Anyone know if Bryan has been able to take part in Conte’s mini 2 week boot camp? Think he will eventually thrive behind the strikers in a 3-4-1-2.

Was training with the squad yesterday

Wouldn’t be surprised if he goes on loan in January.

Yea he’s no where near ready. One for the future.

Yea he’s no where near ready. One for the future.

I’m not sure how easy it is to judge that. When he has played with the other “B Team” guys in the conference league games he has been hit and miss but he probably had more bright spots than any of the others and at times looked really exciting.

It’s helped others from those nightmare games when they’ve actually played with the first team. I’m sure if Gil was surrounded by better players he’d look much better.

Yea all true points mate I just think there is still a way to go in terms of his decision making and physicality and just top level football. For Sevilla he played 20,30 mins here and there. He needs regular full 90 min games imo.

That guy on Twitter (I know) George bannister , who knew all about our covid situation ect has said that Gil is still suffering and is being carefully monitored

Twitter gets loads of stuff right, eg was well ahead of MSM on Covid re Pool and Hammers
This guy Bannister has a brilliant track record

We're out of the ECL. We have a maximum 3 more games in the league cup, 23 more league games and whatever we do in the FA Cup.

I don't see Gil playing any real role this season so a half season loan might be the right move for him.

Clusb like Brighton or even Leeds would be a good loan move.

It’s always a fine line between having to many players and to few. And with Covid situation things can change rapidly. Tough call what I think is best tbh, maybe getting more settled in London might the better thing really not sure.

Really depends on the loan, he’s been another one that’s had unlucky injuries, as well as Covid. But you’d have to imagine that he has Son, Lucas, Bergwijn, and possibly Dele ahead of him in the pecking order. It would take a minor injury crisis for him to get regular minutes, or for Dele and Bergwijn to move on and not be replaced.

If he’s got the chance of playing week in week out at another premier league club we should jump at the chance. The poor lad is just going to stagnate otherwise. Conversely if he stays, he’d have six months of working with Conte, learning the position and role he wants him to play in etc. Think game time and confidence is more important at this stage though.

Fair points. I only said he might be better off going on loan.

If Conte feels he needs more work before playing in the Prem for us then a loan might be a good option for him. The ECL was a good opportunity for players like Gil to get game time.

But maybe working with Conte everyday and waiting for his chance might be the best option.

Just decided he reminds me in many ways of Aaron Lennon. Exciting to watch but so far not much in the way of end product. Hopefully that will come with games and coaching.

 

[Kamus]

He might play in the FA Cup round.

I actually think the opposite.

I think Gil has shown a very good footballing brain and there were early signs of him linking well with Kane. Lennon was a speed demon and tore full backs to shreds but never developed a consistent end product.

Completely. And, for me, I think as much as he needs game time, he'd be better off under contes coaching for rest of the season. Get him working out the patterns of attack he can best use his talent in, esp as suspect its not going to be the classic left wing play he used in Spain. Maybe optimistic, but I feel his ultimate level is pretty high. So I'd keep him here for emrest of season. Then next season if he's ready, great, use him and rest / move son (or inverted RF or even ACM), or, more likely, go a good prem loan eg Palace, Leeds, maybe Brentford (who I grew up near and still can't believe they are in prem, let alone looking like having a chance to stay up! But I digress...)

 

[kursaal]

I would loan Gil to a decent Championship side for six months. Get home used to the physicality of the English game. Its understandable a highly rated young player wants game time but it should be in tbe English game not back in Spain.

? NEW: Cádiz CF want to sign Bryan Gil on loan in January. The #thfc winger wants minutes and various intermediaries are already at work on a solution. | @Estadio_ED

He hasn't even laid a glove on, even early, Lennons output.

 

[ShelfWatcher]

Seems like he needs a loan, hope he gets a start v morecambe before he goes
