Giróna’s record transfer is €9. Can’t see them signing Gil @ £15 /€15.

This is a hell of a saga with him.
They just qualified for the CL for the first time, so they have more money than they ever had before. They're also selling their striker for like 35m, so they have money, and I assume they'll still have some next season.
 
The little turd is trying to force us to accept worse terms than we want — if as reported, a loan without obligation. He should be looking at all possibilities to get his career back on track.

We really don’t owe him anything given his performances. If he refuses to go anywhere else because Girona won’t pay up then don’t register him and bury him. It’s not like he’s costing us N’Dombele wages.
Gil “Only wants Girona” is a joke. As if teams are lining up for him. 🤣 🤣

No one is going to pay cash for Gil - teams will only want him as free punt (loan with option). Surprised teams are willing to pay his full wages of 40K per week - He’s stealing over 2 million quid a year.

ZERO goals and 1 assist in three seasons = transfer value of 0. Big win just to get him off the wage bill for the season.

Shit for us. But I bet at least 3 La liga clubs were in the mix

I suppose he signed a five year contract with us in 2021, meaning this might offer some protection in case the loan goes tits-up?

Yes - shite for us because we extended his contract. Why the F did we do that? That’s not part of deal the Girona - that is a complete own goal.

There may have been several LaLiga that wanted a loan with an option. I would be shocked if any teams actually wanted him on a permanent.

So there are literally no buyers for Gil and he is signed for TWO more season so why did we extend and agreed to pay Gil wages for three. Why?

If Gil defies expectations and tears it up at Girona, we could still have sold him next summer under the old contract. But now if as expected, he shows little to nothing then we’re stuck with him for 2 more years next summer instead of 1. WTF.

He just a hopeless footballer who offers nothing. He’s up there just behind Ndombele as our worst transfers of all time.
