Fiery Zac 1,066 Posted October 17, 2021 Stopped reading that tripe when they mentioned if we deserve to be in the PL. We won the championship comfortably, we sell to buy, we nurture young talent, we look for raw hungry players and we play an attractive style of football. Yes we f***king deserve to be in the PL. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 7,609 Posted October 17, 2021 That article is unreadable on my phone with the amount of page breaks and adverts. However it wouldn't shock me if he was recalled in January if he can't break back into the first team, Chelsea wont want him sitting on the bench and we may want to use the Premier League loan spot elsewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
East Rider 551 Posted October 17, 2021 Needs must I suppose. Is there another PL first team he would get into? I'm not so sure and possibly he may have benefitted from a season in the Champs. On a side not PLM had his best game in the centre yesterday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,822 Posted October 17, 2021 January is three months away and so, so much can change in that time. Look how our starting lineup and formation has changed since the start of the season, which was only two months ago. Having said that, Gilmour is effectively our fifth choice central midfielder at the moment so it would probably be in the best interests of Chelsea, Gilmour and ourselves to cut the loan short in January if that's still the case. He's clearly a talented player but not quite what we need right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chelm Canary 404 Posted October 17, 2021 If things continue in this vain and Gilmour continues to get little to no game time then yeah I reckon there is a very good chance he will be recalled. They will want to send him somewhere else. I reckon a championship club if it does happen. I do hope he comes good here though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,661 Posted October 17, 2021 It’s surely a complete no brainier that if he isn’t playing for us he’ll go back to Chelsea - it’ll suit him, his club and us, so it doesn’t even need a story.  But I also think he’ll be playing regularly for us by then so it probably won’t happen.

Mike w 46 Posted October 17, 2021 unfortunately can see his return unless he gets more game time. certainly not as useful as Skipp   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graham Paddons Beard 2,434 Posted October 17, 2021 Gilmour doesn’t play. Chelsea consider taking him back. Top journalism. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken Hairy 3,773 Posted October 17, 2021 Not being funny I wouldn't care if it was true. It's all well and good playing well in a couple of games for a side with world class players around you, but he's been beyond tripe for us. He's too weak for a relegation battle. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the Germans 1,078 Posted October 17, 2021 Hopefully it does. He appears like the Emperors new clothes to me. Everyone rates him because everyone rates him. I've not seen anything to justify the hype. Not terrible but certainly not good enough to demand a start. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rupp and McLean haven’t been very good either, but we are ok to go ahead with them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,250 Posted October 17, 2021 Wouldn't surprise me at all tbh and it will be a smack on the wrists for Farke and won't help our cause it getting quality loans in the future. Clearly down the pecking order to Rupp and McLean so me may as well use the opportunity to free up a loan spot get a striker in, if allowed to.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pete 319 Posted October 17, 2021 Just the latest to get the Farke cold shoulder after Drmic, Leitner, Todd and Sorensen Stubborn attitude needs to be better man management.  1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
