nazvfc Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 The guy has a smile on his face - looks up for pre-season - reports in Spain say Sherwood will give him a chance (in that rough translation) and still we have fans saying he is off and all that! Why not wait a bit? His Agent hasn't kicked up a fuss and mentioned transfers - nor have Villa but we still get those who say he's off! I'll wait and see - maybe Sherwood WILL give him a go - he's building a decent squad (if all the links come to fruition) and Gil will be part of the squad. I will wit and see but then I have patience and have had since the day I started following Villa in the early 60's. That's the only way to handle it. Patience is a virtue! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Reacho Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Have to trust that there's logic behind the club's decision on this. It sounds like there's a committee of Fox and Reilly as well as Sherwood making these decisions so it's not like the O'Neill days with the likes of Cahill.

DCJonah Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Good to see him in pre season, I'm sure he will get a chance, now up to him to prove to the manager he should be a regular player. I think he's capable of doing that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mightysasquatch Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I hope he's just given a chance if he does want to stay, like some say he may of been told he'll get a fairer crack this season. I think we'd be mad to let him go so soon but equally TS just may not think he fits into his plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted July 6, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 6, 2015 I hope and pray he gets another crack. He's like nothing else we have. Give him the number 10 shirt and trust him and let him work his magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qwpzxjor1 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) I can see him given more of a chance this year, Sherwood will use him to bring a bit of class and craft to the midfield. He took the club over in a relegation dogfight, he needed gritty fighters, Gil isn't one of those. A pre-season and a chance to look at his squad and how Gil can be used will give him new options. Options which were too risky with such limited time but now are now options to add elements to the team. Edited July 6, 2015 by Qwpzxjor1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Options which were too risky with such limited time but now are now options to add elements to the team. I totally agree. Given the precarious situation we were in when Sherwood joined, you can't blame him for wanting to settle on a first XI and sticking with it, trying to get them playing as a unit the way he wanted, it wasn't the time to experiment or chop and chance each week. This season should be a totally different story. The guy has clearly got ability, he's had a bit of time to settle in now (away from the spotlight which will help), hopefully speaks some basic english etc. He is essentially a new signing, and hopefully he makes a big impression in pre-season and hits the ground running, certainly looks happy enough in the videos released yesterday.
