I don't think he's a useful sub tbh. We should be doing better. To me, Son is heading towards the "useful sub" category. Perisic was a very useful sub. That's the standard of useful sub we need to aim for.

I'd take anything for him now.
Signed for £21.6m on a 5 year deal in 2021
Although, about £8 to 10 million to balance out for accounting purposes. I think we'll be lucky to get that. So possibly another loan ahead for him unless we cut some losses.

Jesus fucking Christ. Hopeless.5 starts in 2 seasons I think. #legend
The accounting purposes thing only works (if at all) if the player is actually of value in playing terms. So for example, signing a player for £20m on 5 years and loaning him the full 5 years to cover his wages ... is still a loss of £20m!
Even a few £m now for Gil is probably the best available outcome for THFC.
Not for FFP purposes in the final set of accounts of his contract. The loss is amortised over the 5 years. If he is sold at the end of it for £1 then that is a £1 profit in the accounts........as far as I understand it. In the final year if he is sold for £6m then it is a £1m profit in the year end accounts, the loss is historic.
Anyway, it isnt for fans to worry. Just sell him.
Yes, for FFP you're right.
Then we need to start building a lot more go kart tracks because they won't come cheap.
I certainly never meant that Gil was in any way whatsoever an upgrade on Lamela.I did like Lamela. Spiteful and skilful. Great combination
For comparisons
final 3 years for Erik = 103 games. First three years for Bryan = 43 games.
Not sure how many games Bryan has started overall, but not many in the premier league I recall him starting so his 43 includes probably 50% appearances from the bench?
Lamela made over 250 appearances for Spurs. Gil won’t.
Although that's with hindsight. I think much like Lamela, fans and the clubs hopes for what he would become have been proven wrong. We thought both would be creative attacking flair players. Lamela was mostly a WUM and Gil is just meh.
Such a nothing player you forget he is even an option.
No more of these toss signings, for the love of god.

When you rattle the bargain bin, you have to accept that for every Udogie there will be a Gill. Gill is completely worthless whereas Udogie is worth x3 what we pay. Release Gill for free and move on
A good point
