omariqy Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 As ever the truth is somewhere in the middle. He is obviously talented and did well last year for them but he is such a hot and cold player and goes missing far too often. On his day he would be one of our best players but how many days is that? I personally would love to have him back and have him resurrect his career. It won't happen though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 He has the physicality of a gnat. He is apt to this league.....as Clement Freud is to stand up comedy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 As @omariqy said, I think the truth is somewhere in the middle. He's obviously not as good as Michael makes out, but then again, him being regularly picked by a manager other than Steve Bruce wouldn't automatically relegate us from the Prem, as @Stevo985 exaggerated, probably purposely. I always liked Gil. Yes he went missing (a lot), but then he also had his games where he was way better than Jack. I'm glad that his move away has broken down, just because I'd like to see him get the odd appearance for us again see whether [whichever manager] can get a tune out of him. If not, then I can't imagine his wages will break the bank. He probably earns 1/4 of what Micah Richards gets paid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 The only way Gil is above Grealish is if they're in alphabetical order. Even then it's close. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJT123 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 If he's not on stupid wages, then i'm quite pleased by this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 He had his moments with us as did Gabby (a few more of them) . He like others did not want to play for us and we cannot find anyone willing to buy him from us (even after they have already agreed to do so it seems). Hopefully we can find a club who will pay his wages or some of them. We won't be getting any of the money we paid for him back for him so this is another transfer deal that did not work out at all well for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) I will be very surprised if Steve Bruce entertains this player in the future. We have all already witnessed Jack adding steel to his game since his injury.....prior to this even Jacks talent alone was being questioned....he was a lightweight, now he isn't. all the great talented players have a physicality about their game in order to make it work.....its a contact sport, you have to it.

omariqy Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Jack now is 4 times the player Gil is. Mainly because of how consistent he now is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can jaw all we want on here, but the reality is if Bruce has anything to do with it he'll never play here again. You can ask McCormack how forgiving he is of players who've annoyed him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 6 hours ago, Michael118 said: He's a number 10 so his main competition would be Grealish. I'd have him in ahead of Grealish, but they could play together if we wanted to go with 2 number 10's or play one out wide. Gil played on the right a few times with Deportivo and did well there. I definitely think he's best suited to a central role though. For me, Gil is head and shoulders above all our current players in terms of ability and would be the first name on the team sheet if we got him back, Have him in ahead of Grealish... head and shoulders above our current players... first name on the team sheet... He has spent the season on the bench for a team that were relegated from La Liga, the blokes pants. Grealish was better than him three years ago, he's now lightyears ahead of him in terms of ability. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Inconsistent and stupidly overrated on here. Also seems to have been forgotten that the message when we were relegated was that he had no intention of playing in the championship. Yeah, that's the kind of player we want back after spending the last 18 months trying to **** most of these pricks out the club Thankfully, bruce will know exactly how limited and how shit his attitude is. No chance he puts a villa shirt back on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
