Loan to Brighton would be ideal. Surprised Brentford don't go in for him instead of Nusa.
Brentford cant loan him as they already have reguilon, unlikely a prem team would pay money for him as he is so unproven in the prem despite being on our books for some time now.

Can’t see him getting in Brighton’s starting 11 consistently unless they get a few injuries.

So we need to make sure there’s an option/obligation to buy.

Some will think Premier League loan is all that matters but would be worried about his playing time.

Mitoma, Fati & Joao Pedro are some of the players he would compete with.

With Soloman having suffered a set back, losing Gill suddenly makes us quite like on the wings, only Werner Johnson and Deki then till Son is back

They've been relying on academy players recently on the bench as their winger options due to injuries, and De Zerbi's system is built on the strength of his wingers, so can see why they're keen to bring him in.

Mitoma and Adingra will be out for another couple of weeks at international tournaments, Enciso is out until March and Fati and Solly March are touch and go to even play at all the rest of the year. So he'd get a lot of games over the next month, but then could see him easily as 6/7th option.

Doesn't make sense without an obligation for me.

Not really tbh, gil sadly has offered nothing. I’d prefer to give Scarlett or Yago the game time, imo

I'm putting two and two together here and I've come up with nine but...

If Ange wanted Nusa in this window and is prepared to let Gil go out, do we think there's a possibility he's looking at Mikey Moore who's been training with the first team?

With news of Solomon having a setback, we're suddenly going to be short on options for a while at least, especially if we let Bryan go.

No, if you look at the line ups this season before his injury Moore seemed to mostly play at no 10, whilst no doubt he can play lw, I think it’s pie in the sky to see it happening this season

I suppose Yago would be ahead of him really anyway but we are going to need someone to cover for the next couple of weeks

Yeah that would be my expectation to, I hope so to, I like Gil but tbh it’s not gonna happen for him here so why not give yago the opportunity? Nothing to lose imo

Yago was in fire before his injury but I've not really seen how he's done since he's come back.
He's made the bench a couple of times iirc.

It does seem a bit odd to consider letting Bryan (who I also like) go if we don't have some kind of plan.

Unless there's a last day special lined up I think Ange just goes with Deki/BJ and Timo, he doesn't seem fazed about running on empty until players are back.

I think with only league games left we don’t necessarily need players who won’t play that much, imo . Once son is back and with Werner here he’ll see very little time
