Sadly an Ivan Perisic sized hole has now opened up on the bench when he gets back. Very different playing styles of course, but we now need him to start contributing to the squad.

Hopefully he's been able to work on his body strength during his recent rehab period.



Let's face it. Skipp and Son would look like Tanks in Gil's eyes.

Gil could well be the proverbial 'like a new signing' in our squad and you can't help but want him to succeed and impress Ange enough for him to consider him part of the future.

Perisic's injury has certainly opened the door to an extent but Solomon has the edge right now over Gil and will be utilised first in squad rotation and substitutions you feel.

He looked good for mini spells under conte, so no reason why he can’t look very good for a manager who will actually let him pass and move and attack.

He’s another Paratici signing so it’s pretty much nailed on that he’ll find form and become a gem 💎 of a signing at some point.

This is the only reason I'd be willing for him to get a chance. Paratici knows his young players.

I can't think of a young dud he's signed

He seems an intelligent footballer and can pass the ball. If he doesn't get a foothold in the squad under Ange in this system, time to move on.

He’s gonna be behind Kulusevski, Johnson, Solomon and potentially Richarlison/Son depending on the managers selection of position for the two of them. This run in the team that people want is not going to happen and frankly I don’t believe he’s done enough to deserve minutes ahead of any of those guys mentioned above. He’ll have to bide his time and prove himself in training, which is generally how it is for most young players. Chances aren’t just given out like a charity, they are always earned in training.

I definitely see a world where he comes on as a sort of attacking duo with Richy. We know Gil can deliver in crosses from the left, and Richy can thrive on that kind of service. So, I think there is a pathway to plenty of opportunities (eventually), so if he makes the most of them who knows what can happen.
