Calm yer pants hen, I did skip through just didnt expect it to be so late on in a long video On 12/20/2022 at 10:41 AM, Tartan blood said: Yeah, it wasn't meant to be a dig at Gauld. He was a victim of his own early success. Because he was hyped up to be the Scottish Messi, he'll appear to have underachieved in some people's eyes. But it's rare for any Scot to go abroad and thrive. He should have been in multiple squads by now. I worry his time has come and gone, especially with this new batch of young attacking talent emerging. Doak seems inevitable at this point, but throw Hepburn and Lowry into the mix, who both have tons of potential as well. Aye fair doos get ye now, its a shame he hasn't had a chance as hes a very talented footballer. Doak does look good but I try not to get too excited as we have been burned before.

A few glimpses of Billy Gilmour in this highlights video (up to about 01:30 after which I think he's already subbed off). Looks like he's been asked to play the 'deep lying midfielder' role that he plays for us. Hard to take anything from this. Looks assured on the ball in those few moments. Maybe he got subbed off because he was lacking match fitness (knackered?). Hope he gets a couple more opportunities for Brighton while Mac Allister is away.

Either way its not looking promising for him right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did nothing of note against a League One team. A few decent passes here and there (which you’d expect from any midfielder) and also a few misplaced ones. He had one shot at goal with the keeper threw his bunnet over and was played in at one point with a lovely ball but he miscontrolled it and it went out for a goal kick. It’s obviously only one game but he was very much nothing to write home about and that’s why he was hooked. Definitely not for being tired. If he’s not taking his few opportunities when they come along (especially against lower league opposition) then it’s not looking good for him I’m afraid.

No disrespect to Lewis Ferguson, but Gilmour is obviously the superior player. I'd have absolutely no problem with Gilmour going to a mid-table Serie A team, where he'll be out of the spotlight, and just allowed to develop. 2 years at a team like Bologna would do him no harm at all. Then he'll still only be 23ish and be a better player for it. Gilmour will go onto surpass Callum McGregor if he finds the right team to thrive in.

I think we would all love for gilmour to be picked up by a mid table serie a team but would they want gilmour. Hes not shown much in his career to suggest hes good enough for a top league.

Its stagnating pretty fast. He will be 22 in the summer and needs to playing if he wants to stand a chance of making it in a top league.

Like I said mate, it was only one game and everyone is entitled to an off day, but the problem for Billy is that when starts are few and far between you’ve got to make the most of them. He doesn’t seem to be doing that unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JECK Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Gilmours move to Norwich could be the biggest mistake of his career. He should have stayed and fought for a place at Chelsea. Although let’s not have short memories - past performance is a predictor of future performance. He played stand out games v Liverpool, Man City and numerous other games whilst at Chelsea not to mention his performances for Scotland against England, Denmark and Austria. He can’t now all of a sudden be a poor player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syecosse Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Man City's bench, Alex Robertson born Dundee, has played for Ross County on loan, Guardiola said he has most available, eligble for Australia, England and Peru also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still massively impressive that Doak is even on the bench after just turning 17. It looked like he made quite the impression at their training camp.
