You wouldn't consciously project "we're gonna buy" when there's no upside to doing so.

They have first priority at €15. No risk for them to consider him a Giróna player already
I know.
......My point is that the above tweet is nothing more than jazzy social media fluff. Not a projection of anything deeper.

Gil wanted Girona. Girona wanted try-before-you buy. Spurs wanted to retain leverage. So Spurs would have refused to loan him unless he agreed to the contract extension.
It's a reasonable apportionment of risk IMO. Spurs risk getting stuck with an extra year's dead wages, but that's offset by Girona covering some/all of this year's wages, plus the chance ofvSpurs getting a better transfer fee than they could right now. Gil is incentivised to perform well to earn his place at Girona.
A rare miss by Paratici.
He had the technical ability and IQ but zero physical presence to make it count.

I'm not posting the link to who said it but here is what was said
Gil forced his loan move and turned down a move to Feyenoord for €15m. His heart was set on a return to Spain, Gil even threaten to stay at spurs at risk of being an unused squad member which left Tottenham hierarchy very frustrated! Tottenham now use Feyenoord’s €15m valuation as the fixed priced for any club to buy him at the end of next summer!
Gil was being used as leverage in the Santiago Gimenez deal where Gimenez would have cost Spurs just over €25m. Feyenoord where happy to pay the money, but Gil had no interest in going to Holland.

100% - and I’m sure the City Group can afford a decent social media team for Girona.
The prior example of a tweet being no more than fluff. Girona just has an option that they may or may not exercise - just like Genoa and Spence.

He will go on to a decent career not in the EPL.
Probably, he's a decent player, will thrieve in a league were he's given more freedom.
Very true. No disrespect to young Bry at all, as he showed some real ability on the ball at times, but I always came away thinking he'd be ideally suited to women's football.
He’ll end up having a decent career at a mid table club in La Liga.
We should have sold not loaned him if possible.

All good ... though I think "profitable sale" and "revitalized return" are both ever so slightly optimistic
Report: Tottenham's Hidden Agenda As Winger Moves To Girona On Loan
Report: Tottenham's Hidden Agenda As Winger Moves To Girona On Loan by Emily Nguyen on Jul 28, 2024 for EPLindex.comeplindex.com
Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano revealed that Tottenham has extended Gil’s contract before allowing the loan move. Originally set to end in 2026, this extension is designed to protect his market value. Moreover, Tottenham has included a release clause in Gil’s new deal, allowing clubs to buy him for €15m (approximately £12.7m). This clause adds an interesting dynamic, as it could attract potential buyers while giving Tottenham a safety net.
One of the more unusual aspects of this arrangement is that while Girona does not have a formal option to buy Gil, they will be given the first refusal. Ultimately, the final decision regarding his sale will rest with Gil. Given his desire to join Girona and the possibility of a fruitful season with the club, it’s plausible that he might opt to stay if things go well.
We see Bryan Gil’s loan move to Girona as a win-win for all parties involved. For Gil, it offers a chance to regain confidence and showcase his talent in a competitive league where he has previously thrived. Girona gains a promising player who can contribute to their Champions League campaign and domestic ambitions. Tottenham, on the other hand, protects its investment while keeping the door open for either a profitable sale or a revitalized return.
Perhaps "limit their losses" is better
He had a good game yesterday tbf.
If he can pull off performances like that throughout the season we will be able to sell him easily.
This fucker's only gone and scored hasn't he
