One of the reasons he found himself out of the team as quickly as he'd been installed into it was because he didn't work hard in defence. Shit, didn't realise you've managed us recently - kept that quiet! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to be Manager to understand why at times, certain players and playing and others are not. You do of course have to have a snippet of a clue about football though.

DCJonah Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I wasn't a huge fan of him or Veretout. But one of the lessons I've learnt this year is that my god you need a squad in this league. I'd happily accept any player back that wanted to be here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be opposed Gil coming back. I don't particularly rate him but he should be good enough at this level, but I'd rather not have him if he wanted out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that "one of the reasons he was dropped" was because of not doing this, whereas others, who definitely didn't bother tracking back, remained in the team?

A lot of them performed like shite when we had them. Or weren't performing at the level the club were at when they were here.

Popular Post briny_ear Posted March 16, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2017 OK, I know the world has gone completely bonkers (Trump, Brexit etc.) but when Carles Gil - a player who did next to nothing for us and didn't want to stay when we were relegated - is trending above Steve Bruce and Tony Xia, somehow that just confirms it for me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wezbid Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I liked Gil and he has something about him, and yes, he did try and track back despite being a number 10, but it's probably best for everyone that we move on. I would argue all day long that he isn't/wasn't a good player though. We hardly utilised him last season. We were crying out for a play-maker/number 10 for ages, we finally found someone who was composed in the ball and could pick a pass and he was lumped on the wing a good chunk of the games he did play. He's not a world beater but he was a player with a bit of creativity that we failed to utilise. We already had Gana and Westwood plonked in our own half, asking him to get back in our own half too defeats the whole purpose of that sort of player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I think we're done with him. He doesn't want to play in the championship and he's certainly not good enough for the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) He obviously wants to stay in Spain so lets sell him in the summer. I don't recall we paid that much for him so lets do the deal and move on. How good a player he was or is is pretty academic.

But doing quite well in La Liga by all accounts so that's most likely where he'll be playing next season.

PaulC Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 He's done ok for Deportivo. He's played half the games, not sure how many have been off the bench though, in a side that have struggled in the lower reaches of La Liga all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
