They’ll know exactly how well he has or hasn’t done. Of course they will but about how much weight they give to the performances. They had a player Connor Gallagher who is about same age as Gilmour. Played very well for WBA in centre mid last season however I doubt he will be anywhere near starting for Chelsea this season despite being one of WBAs best performers. However if he had played in the overperforming West Ham side that was towards the top of the table then there might be more calls for him to be given a run.

Squirrelhumper Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Great move for Gilmour, Norwich play decent football. Can't actually believe there are folk that wanted him to sign for Rangers. He left Rangers for a reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farke was u23 coach there and Dortmund are renowned for bringing through young players. Tuchel is no fool, he realises Gilmour is a huge talent. He's sending him to someone he trusts to help continue his development. From a Scotland point of view, this is an excellent development.

Well we know it is inevitable Gilmour will be a regular in the Scotland team for at least a decade. But this loan deal means we might start to get the best from him sooner, rather than later. It could be a huge boost for the World Cup qualifiers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to think this tournament was really just a learning experience for the squad and management. We did a lot right, but quite a lot wrong as well. By the next tournament, we'll be far more prepared. And our best players will (hopefully) be even better than they are now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Craig Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Lets see now.......play football every week in the EPL and continue to grow with experience and perfect your skills at Norwich. Or remain at Chelsea to warm the bench and make bit-part appearances to stall his career. No brainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 It could be that he and Kenny McLean form a great club partnership and become a drop in for the two holding midfield roles for us. Be interesting to see how that partnership develops. personally hoping that we go back to one striker and play four tight in the middle of the park.

Could be except that I think Calum McGregor is a better player than McLean, but if he keeps his place beside BG at Norwich then it's an interesting dilemma.

scotlad Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 A good move for him and a good signing for Norwich. He's at a stage in his career now where he really has to be playing regularly in order to progress. He might not be competing for trophies like he would at Chelsea but if he can help keep Norwich up that'd almost be as good as. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember Albania got a player sent off early on too. If you want a return to that formation then you force Tierney into a centre-back spot curtailing (somewhat) his greatest asset of the attacking thrust he gives us.

Or he could play central midfield or left midfield in a 4-5-1. Pundits keep saying he can play anywhere, and I think those two positions would be comfortable for him. He could still defend and he could still attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same 433 as the Israel game with Mctominay Gilmour and Tierney as the deeper midfielders any two of our attacking midfielders with Adams or the guy who shan't be named up front. At least pretend we are scared of no one. It's not like we can do any worse than bore ourselves to death with this back five stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killiefaetheferry Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 As long as the 2 wide players in our 'back' 5 can push on and become an attacking threat, it can work. Not with O'Donnell for me, but I can get optimistic about it being Patterson and Robertson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
