This player cost us over £30m if we consider Lamela to be worth £5-10m. More money down the drain.
We spent £55m on him and Emerson and we are already trying to replace them.
Poor lad..... Players at this age need game-time in a functioning system and nurturing with some strong supportive seniors around them (esp. when transitioning from a foreign league).... Not vague expectations of being a difference-maker in a lazy B-team around Europe or being a last minute EPL game-saver.
Gil, Rodon, Sessengon, Foyth......
(+ KWP, Tanganga, Onomah and a few other bright young things)
Hard to expect the lad Sarr to fair too differently.
HahahWait... so...
We are sending Gil on loan, still might sell Bergwijn, try to get rid of Dele, Ndombele and Lo Celso?!?
We just tryna get through 2nd half of the season with 3 attacking players in Kane, Son and Moura then ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!!?!?!??! dafuq, my brain just totally switched off. There is no logic whatsoever left.
Hahah
Don’t worry we are getting Amrabat
Nailed it. There’s things not going right for you and some transfers don’t work out etc, but this last few years have just been one laughable decision after the other.This player cost us over £30m if we consider Lamela to be worth £5-10m. More money down the drain.

Conte is magic, love the guy, but as long as our recruitment strategy is run by fucking idiots he’s fucked.
Why are we sending this bloke back to Spain? Have we given up on him already? Or are we that clueless that we think another 6 month in la liga will prepare him for the premier league!?
Don’t get me started on Royal… 25m and we’re trying to replace the cunt 6 months later! The list goes on and on ….
AirfixxIt’s an absolute shit show isn’t it. 2 players we bought last summer and the club already want to rid. If we were getting class replacements like Diaz, you could understand but when you are getting a Juventus sub, you know the club are seriously in huge trouble. We are a shambles of a football club
I think that was more in response to a journo saying he was extremely unhappy at the club, and was looking for an exit at all cost this month.Didn’t Gil say he’s going nowhere?

What this bloke needs is loads of fry ups, curries ,Pie n mash, pints of real ale and apple crumbles.
That will sort him out.
Oh and Corned beef roll and beigels.
If for some strange reason he has to go out on loan send him to a championship team who is at the higher end of the league . Bournemouth or somewhere, he’ll get games , build his confidence & learn the physicality of English football .If Gil is going on loan it should be to a PL team. He needs to get used to the physicality of our league, or he isn't going to make it. He will not learn anything about the PL playing in the inferior Spanish league.
This kid cost us £25m plus Lamela. That's not silly money. He came from that league and isn't ready - so why will going back to it help?
Relax a bit , Levy has only had 21 years to get it right. As the old saying goes, if at first you don’t succeed invest in more real estate and fancy showersHow much plus lamela did we punt on this lad?
How are our scouting teams still in employment?
Jack Clarke at ten million was bad enough
