myko Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Criminal if we let him go. Low transfer fee and no doubt low wages. Very un PC on this forum but a better player than Grealish at the moment. on what basis? plus he has a 3 year headstart on Grealish 2 goals in 40 top flight games is not what I would call game changing stats that people were raving that the manager should go unless Gil plays Down to personal opinion more than anything as neither have played many games but I agree with Harry. Looked the better player in his few appearances for the club than Grealish IMO, whether he is the better talent or not is yet to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 They mentioned a £3m bid from Celta Vigo on Talksport yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Considering we signed him for around £3.2m and he seemingly is out of favour that is actually not a bad offer to consider. I'd rather he stayed and was used as he looked to have shown some great potential. Celta will be a great move for him though, play great football and if they hold on to key players this summer like Nolito etc it could actually be pretty exciting.

Popular Post HanoiVillan Posted June 10, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted June 10, 2015 Given it seems fairly clear that Sherwood has absolutely no interest in this guy, we might as well sell him I suppose. No point in having him hang around like a bad smell, might as well try and recover some of the damage. If we take this money and spend it on Matt Jarvis or someone I'm not gonna be responsible for my actions. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I'd be very pissed off if we made a loss on him, to add to how pissed off I am in general with what's happened to him. While things are up in the air with the takeover, I hope nobody goes and makes a rash decision over Gil or anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redditch Ruffian Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 We can't let Gil leave. There's just no way he is a worse number 10 or winger than the competition he is currently up against in this Villa squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanO Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I can't work this one out, okay Jack has been playing well but at his age he will probably be hot and cold so having Gil who looked really promising to me is a no brainer imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really Jack's place he is competing for though, it's N'Zogbia's. I bet he feels a right plank for wasting 6 months sat around doing nothing in Birmingham when he could have been fighting for a place in Valencia. But in Tim we trust etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flatty Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I would be sorry to see Gill go as I think with a prolonged run in the team and the right coaching he could well develop into a special player, but can understand why we may decide to move him on… Flair players are all well and good but they have to be regularly effective and I’m not sure that Gill offers too much more at the minute than intermittent bursts of quality and there are lots of players that have that ability. If Gill could be more consistent and work harder without the ball then he’d be a serious player but many don’t develop that way and can be somewhat of a luxury player imo. We also do have other options in and about the positions that Gill is competing for and though Gill is older than say Grealish I don’t think he is that far ahead of him – and that’s not to say I am at all on board the Grealish bandwagon. I think both need to improve if they want to continue to play top level football but Jack is younger, on less money (I would assume) and is a local lad which should make him more committed. I would like us to ship N’zogbia out and see Sherwood work with and try and develop Gill but I think that the main issue seems to be Gill just not fitting with Sherwoods philosophy or plans and as such I'm sure we've seen him in a Villa kit for the last time.

Risso Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Total waste, a quality player who would make a big difference. Nice one Tim! He didn't make much of a difference when he was playing, as we lost every single league match he played in.* *Please note: under no circumstances am I saying that that us losing those matches was purely down to Gil, but it cannot be said he made "a big difference" as in the 6 league games he played, we scored two goals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Really does depend on who he has in mind to replace him with. I do echo the above that replacing him with the likes of Jarvis would be pretty awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I was at pains to point out, I wasn't blaming him at all for those results. But nothing he did "made a difference" which was the point I was replying to, as our total points from those games was nil, even the game he got an assist in. And I realise that that's exactly the same as for Delph and Benteke, but we're not talking about those players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best player on the pitch when he came on against Liverpool, giving us much needed cutting edge and nearly contributed to us scoring by creating chances and openings for us, plus an excellent assist against Chelsea.
