bose Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Sherwood didn't see Gil as being suitable for a relegation fight last season. With him now moving the goalposts and claiming we are in the same situation this season too, I wouldn't be surprised if we see very little of Gil over the coming games. Hope I'm wrong.That would be hilarious, and devastating for our side. And very Tim.Ray Wilkins appeared on ITV before the Leicester game. Off-air he said he doesn't rate Gil. "Takes 15 touches when he needs two.", "Will never score. Will never get the assists he should." and "a very poor man's Spanish midfielder" were some of the golden nuggets to come out of his mouth. Fingers crossed Tim doesn't share this view, but you'd imagine he'd have similar opinions to his assistant manager.Jesus Christ. If that's true I'm worried about this team."Takes 15 touches when he needs two." - What does he think about Adama then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom13 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Wilkins = idiot if true.I'm really starting to feel sorry for Gil. He's an obvious talent, and he played what...60-70 mins VS Leicester. In that he scored a wonder goal and created a clear goal scoring opportunity out of nothing for Grealish. Which is a lot more than anyone else is doing. Fair enough he didn't do a lot against WBA but I wanna see him back starting ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) If true then it shows he doesn't have a clue. Wilkins out, he's a **** buffoon Edited September 29, 2015 by Dr_Pangloss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa89 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Crap pundit.....always has been.The problem isn't that he's a crap pundit (which he is) it's that he's our assistant coach and seems to think that our best player isn't any good!

KSV Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 hes a muppet if he thinks Gil isnt any good.He did nothing to deserve to be dropped..... but they obviously do not rate him as highly as the fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KHV Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Gil is the player I would leave on the bench at the moment to be fair. I would play Veretout, Gana and Sanchez in the middle and Grealish and Traore out wide 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Gil should be getting a lot more game time this season considering how the manager was banging on last season about how we are going to be comfortable and safe and never in this position againBut no yet again were in a relegation battle so i don't expect to see much of him and he will pick the players he "trusts" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was to play it would be as one of the two wide players which I dont think is his best position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
