BB_Bino Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Getting very good reviews tonight. Encouraging even if it was against a League 2 team.It’s enough for one Ex-England International (was it Jamie Rednapp I seen maybe) tip him to be the Midfield player that Chelsea build their team around “for years to come”.Not like the English to jump the gun about young players........but then we are equally as guilty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnie_man Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 From the little of the game I saw, he seems to be playing a deeper role just in front of the backline. Good to hear he is being praised, he's still very young but certainly encouraging. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite frankly it's disgusting he doesn't already have 50 caps. I'm seething, me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure were he Welsh, he’d be called up pretty soon if not already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll get picked as soon as he's good enough which is as it should be. We've got relative strength in the centre of the park just now. Hopefully he gets a handfull of games this season and kicks on next. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has played two games for them, one of which was against a League 2 team in the League Cup. If he was actually a first team regular for Chelsea there is no question that he would be in the squad. If he was a striker, a centre-back or a right-back then he'd be in the squad. Breaking into the squad in his position is not quite as easy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have him ahead of McGregor, who has been a total ghost for Scotland. Not suggesting he should start, but I'd give him a call up; it's two absolutely nothing games.

They’re not nothing games though, they’re Clarke’s opportunity to settle on an 11 and a system that will hopefully get us through the playoffs. Alongside the opportunity to try and get a 3rd place finish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnie_man Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 The kid is 17. Let him continue to develop and get involved with the Chelsea first team, whilst getting International experience with the U21's. This campaign is a busted flush anyway, and we're strong in midfield. Let's not heap pressure on him to be some wonderkid who will turn our fortunes around. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 And just on the note of there being no harm in getting him involved, there absolutely is. So imagine he starts against San Marino, but we end up spending 45 minutes dry-humping f**k all and go in at 0-0. The 12 people that will be in Hampden for that game will be, quite rightly, booing them at this stage. Maybe at that point Gilmour's relative inexperience sees him make a few mistakes, and we end up struggling to a result that still sees us booed at full time. Where is GIlmour's confidence when it comes to Scotland then? It's a hypothetical scenario of course, but we do not have the sort of atmosphere around the club to be bringing players in who aren't quite ready yet. And I trust the coaching team to know when that point is, but I really, really doubt it's now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodhull Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Saw some mentalist on twitter saying that the only reason he hasn't already been called up is the link to Rangers. Said something like 'If he came from any other academy and was starting for Chelsea he'd have multiple caps by now.' Obviously I've missed the 18 year olds from the Celtic, Hibs, Aberdeen etc academies who have got starts for Chelsea that he based that opinion on. Wouldn't be against him getting a callup at all but like has been said he would have to be used carefully to avoid being made a scapegoat if/when things don't go well for Scotland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
