Really hope he comes back and has a chance to impress in pre season. Whatever happens, I hope we keep him because he has so much talent and a good bit of feisty in him too.

Based on ?
At this stage he has a slight frame but this far from stops players from making it in the Prem.

My concern is I feel if we buy players too early in their development they end up having several seasons on loan and never feel part of the club.

His reported performances last season were very positive so hopefully he’ll be making an impact for us by next season.

As a club who can’t afford to buy world class players every window we have to take punts on up and coming talent … that we all agree on … regarding us buying players too early in their development … this is also a gamble as other clubs in our same position are doing the same …. As an example if you buy a player for 5 million but they turn out to be become a 50 million player then you only need get it right 1 out of 10 times to break even and any ratio better than that is making you money

This is my general concern for youth development in general.

Before the stupid amounts of money came into the game a young player would play for a smaller side then join a big club when they get up to level.

Now loads of young player showing potential goes to big clubs then go out on loan and I believe in many cases this stunts their growth.

Gil appears another season away from being ready to play regularly for us. If we hadn’t bought him someone else likely would have. But I don’t think it’s the best development path for him.

I agree with the theme of this …. End of the day like all capitalistic businesses , staff are simply seen as numbers and pawns to generate profit, they care very little about their careers . Football clubs are no different

Translation :
As mentioned @lequipedusoir Longoria appreciates the profile of Bryan Gil. The boss of #OM made a phone call to Tottenham to find out about the 20-year-old winger, back from #ValenciaCF . OM would consider a loan for a player under contract until 2026 #Mercato


This is a well reputed Journo...

I’d prefer an English loan but another loan back in Spain really won’t do him any harm. He’s got plenty of time on his side.

I'd probably rather give him a squad place next season, as opposed to signing Antony.
I mean Antony looks a decent player but I'm nor sure he offers any more than Bryan.

I was hoping to see him get some game time for us this season. Would be a shame to send him back out on loan.

Yes, and with Perisic in the side, he can learn so much from him. They're both at opposite ends of their careers and IP is so highly experienced, and he's a winner at the highest level. I hope Gil has a great future with us.
