If I was a Spanish international I would not be interested in a loan to the championship or lower level prem team. He needs and deserves a chance with us or a loan to a champs league club.
And yet we’ve had zero indication that there’s any prem team that wants him and would give him significant playing time, so it seems pretty academic
Seen a few people say this. It all comes down to Gil really - does he want to put the work in to get stronger and prove himself in the Premier League, or is he comfortable with the type of player he is now? At the moment, he's on the fringes of the Spain team, is a top tier La Liga player, and obviously the pull of staying in Spain would be strong. I hope he does choose to bulk up, as I think he's very talented, but there are a few things he needs to work on before he realizes that ability here, end product being another one.
I think they're trying to put him in the shop window and hope a Spanish team picks him up
He should prioritise:
Why would he come here if he's happier in Spain though? I would think he will want to make it here
Yeah, fair point. I'm just speculating here, but moving to a different league is one thing, but being told you have to rework your game and your physique in order to have a chance to play is another. Could be that he takes on the challenge enthusiastically and wants to prove himself. Could also be that he thinks 'nah, I'm okay with where I at'. We've seen it recently with lo celso where he obviously just felt more comfortable in the Spanish league and never really pushed himself up get stronger here. That said Gil is still young, so perhaps still mouldable.
Train him to play on the right as the Kulu backup for creativity.
Needs to be taller…
