Good luck getting him off Milan.maignan for me is the lloris successor
And we've signed 8 players including Romero and are net - £100 million plus not counting loan fees or increased wages.What I can't understand is that we were alleged to have 150mil hanging out of Levy's wallet.
This is intresting.
We seemed all in for getting rid on loan earlier in the window. Now all of a sudden, he's making the bench and we don't want to sell. He's either really impressing in training, willing to try out a new position or we're going to be switching to a potential 424 type hybrid which benefits having Gil in the team.
Wasn't the word that we want him to go on loan to a club with European football? Maybe we are just blocking approaches from clubs that cannot offer that for now. Like, Valencia seem keen but they cannot offer any form of European ball.This is intresting.

He is a talent at the wrong club. That said, people are correct, they'd never sell.What about him? He has played for more managers at United than goals he has scored in the PL. 4-3.
Honestly, what about him? Why would we go after him?
But why would SPURS go after him? Who does he replace?He is a talent at the wrong club. That said, people are correct, they'd never sell.
Not a replacement. A creative AM, English, with the right manager. I'm just spitballin'. An addition.But why would SPURS go after him? Who does he replace?
Good. He's a very good player.
Got it, cheers. I honestly thought he was "only" a winger.Not a replacement. A creative AM, English, with the right manager. I'm just spitballin'. An addition.
The Italian press apparently call us juve on ThamesFucking hell, Levy might as well rename the club Little Italy United....
Interesting appointment.
With this restructuring behind the scenes it feels like we are set long term, even if Conte leaves after this or next season. Heck, that dangling over their heads may have even been a catalyst for it.
It is nice to see us get our shit together.
I agree.I think its more to do with pace of selling/loaning outgoings (Ndombele, Reguilon, Winks - first one in particular as he's on big wages) and the limited pool of incoming AM's who we are interested in.
If we can offload Ndomele we probably free up a lot of wages - and in turn we may get an AM in. But not a lot around we fancy, so if we don't get one in we are better hanging onto Gil as cover.
Still 2 weeks to go before window closes, so if we do get in one of our desired AM's still plenty of time to loan Gil out
Definitely not in a cm2. He’s not really a 10 either. He’s more of a very attacking biased 8 (Lazio usually play a 433). He’s got some technical ability and an eye for a goal/pass/assist. He definitely lacks dynamism and is pretty shit without the ball, but in and around the oppo box he’s pretty productive in SerieA. Whether he’d transfer that level of productivity to the PL is very debatable.
Personally I’d pass. He’s a very niche player, that fits where he is. Our midfield is already laborious. I don’t think he’ll enjoy the pace of the PL as much, he’s a bit of a plodder now, and he’s 27, so fuck knows how slow he’ll be in a couple of years, and will have little resale upside if we want to move him on.
Maybe Conte sees him as that Maddison/Eriksen piece for the toolkit. Someone who can be an 8/10 hybrid. But we don’t play (start) a cm3 ever.
Seems like another fairly big investment fee/wages for a player who may well not start much.
