Cliffy Biro Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 It was a joke but yes most journos said at the time that there was a buy back clause and thats how spanish clubs generally operate so yes i would imagine it is true. Of course clubs dont really ever confirm or deny clauses in contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GENTLEMAN Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) Carles signed up for the Villa project! Nah he signed up for some guaranteed game time before we make him a great player and Valencia activate his buy back clause Valencia are our feeder club! Seriously is Gil the first piece of the jigsaw to get us back up the league? Edited February 7, 2015 by GENTLEMAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Excellent player who in truth is looking too good in comparison to the rest of the side. Wouldnt look out of place in any of the top 4. Why cant the rest draw inspiration and we'd actually be decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 He's not too good for us, he's an element we've missed for so long we've convinced ourselves they don't exist. Throughout our history we've had players who can run with the ball, take people on and pick a pass. I hope Gil maintains this impressive start and continues to develop, he's still young.

Ponky Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I think he will be to us what Ashley Young was for us in those heady days of chasing sixth place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPower_14 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 He's exactly what we've been looking for since we lost Young, Barry and Milner. He makes everyone else in our front half more dangerous. What a signing! At least if he eventually goes, he'll be going for a lot more than we paid for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 They have a first option to sign, meaning if a club bid for him, we have to allow Valencia to bid also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 At least with Gil we have a player who can provide some excitement in games, Just need to keep him fit and hope he doesn't get injured as he will probably be vital for us in the coming months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't think we have a scouting network? I'm not questioning that. But ultimately it is down to the manager to convince them to join and sign them.

You don't think we have a scouting network? I'm not questioning that. But ultimately it is down to the manager to convince them to join and sign them. I'd imagine there's a few people involved, including Lambert and fox. I'm sure Lambert has the final say on whether we sign him or not so credit for that. But I wouldn't assume he was the sole person who spotted him and convinced him to join. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Such a tidy player, desperately missed a player of his ilk since merson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Maybe Lambert said to Sanchez when he arrived if he could recommend any of the Elche players from last season In all seriousness, credit to whoever spotted him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) He clearly has quick feet and loads of ability....The acid test will be, can the manager and his coaching staff harness that guile in to galvanising the rest of the team to better results. My worry is we have some decent players, we just don't play as a team. Edited February 8, 2015 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilS Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 A great piece of skill, and cross with his right foot for our goal. Well done Carles, a breath of fresh air in this very stale season. We just need a few others to start performing, so that we are not putting it all on this young lad and hopefully we can get enough results to get us to safety.

dudevillaisnice Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Will be interesting to see how he adapts when he has one/two players constantly marking him. Isn't far away you'd imagine as the media are also starting to pick up on his performances. I think he'll adapt and still perform personally.
