When he finds his feet Bryan Gil will be every bit as good as David Silva.
Wow.

I’d imagine Conte will give all of Gil, Lo Celso and NDombele a fresh look in pre-season until they are officially sold/loaned. Crazier things have happened than a player turning it around at a club when they looked set to leave. Gil prob best placed to convince.
Agreed, the only one who may get a fresh look is Lo Celso, as he really impressed on loan, so if he comes back hungry and is happy to be a bit part player at 10, conte might give him a shotI don't think it's about a fresh look, not for Lo Celso and Ndombele.
Gil, if he can bulk up a little, could get into the squad. He just needs to work hard.
Oh optimistic rating, where for art thou?When he finds his feet Bryan Gil will be every bit as good as Bernardo Silva or even David Silva. He will mature and be an absolute star. He can do it at Spurs under Conte.

Gil is wasted playing from the left as a youngster. His playmaking and close control coupled with his lack of physicality makes sense for him to cut in from the right onto his left to look for playmaking opportunities. Completely on board with t his.I do think Gil has something and could eventually compete with Kulusevski as the inside right forward in the team...
Ideally having Kane, Son, Kulusevski, Richarlison and Gil as our forward options.

He’s also been offered very little game time, fleeting minutes off the bench, no fixed position and a couple of starts from memory in the Europa conference, along with manager upheaval with the Nuno episode. Respect your opinion but there’s a reason he’s been capped by Spain, played 100+ senior games and earned a big transfer to England at the age of 20 - honestly think with a run of games, in the right system he will go on to be a star in a few years in a similar mould to a Bernardo Silva or a David Silva, Santa Cazorla etc. As a wide forward in Contes 4-3-3 or 3-4-3 he could be a great player or centrally behind the striker - granted we don’t really play that way.more so that Gordon !! - but Gil has done nothing in English football looking largely lightweight and peripheral figure in games- he has some ability on the ball but its hard to see where he fits a Conte side and if your looking at loans ask yourself as a manager of a bottom half premier league club do you fancy Gil a bit of luxury player unproven in England I can't see who would fancy him so for a loan or a transfer he has to go back to the continent - what's the point of us keeping a player when we aren't going to be playing a nbr 10 or wingers and he is sixth best forward if that - not necessarily a bad player but there is no path for him
I hope so but that feels like a stretch.When he finds his feet Bryan Gil will be every bit as good as Bernardo Silva or even David Silva. He will mature and be an absolute star. He can do it at Spurs under Conte.
Diasgree, he looked lost on the right, he isn't a cut in inverted forward, he's a get to the byline player.Honestly the main concern is his size but he could bulk up a bit. Sarr is even smaller so expect him to go on loan. I guess the club will give them some dietary and exercise regime to get bigger. I think Gil could be a great alternative to Kulusevski on the right. I also think on occasions where we're pushing for a goal he could play left wing back. His crossing is very good and Richarlison is great in the air while Doherty (possibly Spence) offer a threat at the back post.
Nothing wrong with learning to be able to do bothDiasgree, he looked lost on the right, he isn't a cut in inverted forward, he's a get to the byline player.
Agree with that - but the issue is: how often does that type of player get used these days?Diasgree, he looked lost on the right, he isn't a cut in inverted forward, he's a get to the byline player.
I agree, he may convert eventually but i am just not convinced by him tbh. I would sell him if someone wants him. Much rather gordonAgree with that - but the issue is: how often does that type of player get used these days?
In an old school 4-4-2, or with traditional wingers, great - but we don't do that, and nor do many teams
Great to hear. We cannot give up on Bryan and Pape Sarr
