He did. His calfs were huge when he was with us. Low centre of gravity with extremely strong legs.

Yeah fair point, maybe slight isn't the best word, Modric was short but as discussed had the low centre of gravity and serious strength in the core / legs.
Many times it's been said about Gill that he needs to bulk up / hit the gym but I don't think it's ever that simple. It's not always possible to get jacked like Modric above whilst maintaining pace. As well as the hard work + work on nutrition, genetics have got to be a huge part of it. I'm sure I sure a interview with Adams Traore saying he actually doesn't lift weights, to some it's just naturally there I guess. Peter Crouch could spend a lifetime lifting weights and I bet he'd still have chicken legs and a skinny top half unless he ate 5000 calories a day whilst rinsing the steroids.
That's probably about as much discussion on the physique of blokes I don't know and will never meet I can take in the morning, it's all getting a bit men's health in here but I did start the conversation to be fair!

Reminds me of Reguilon. Technically capable but not calm under pressure, just goes a bit crazy under pressure or with possession. Not sure if it's an eagerness or something that will never be fixed. He had plenty of end product at Sevilla on loan

4 goalsand 5 assists in 45 games isn't really plenty.

Fair, thought it was more than that. But he did turn up in the Europa League final and during their run in that competition. Showed composure when it was required. He's a bit of an enigma I think.

Need to make sure we insert a massive sell-on clause, otherwise I think that could come back to haunt us.
If they'll have it. Otherwise just reinvest into someone that will be more useful to us.

We can probably get more than €6m from Spain for him. His stock is quite high there as he’s done well over there. He just didn’t suit this league.
I like the guy but his problem was that he tried to fight and hold off much bigger players and always lost. He should have just used his technique to draw little fouls consistently. Pretty soon people will back off him a bit.
Anyway we tried, he definitely tried, it didn’t work out. Good luck to him.

Feyenoord's director has said they are trying to sign Gil

I hope they've got someone good to p/x, as their record fee paid for a player is only £6.8m.

Andy Thompson
He’s not worth more than their record fee.

But we paid about £50m for him (£25m + Lamela)
It's only fair if we get 25 million plus the best player in the world in return.

That’s about £20m outlay then with the money saved on wages and hospital fees
We are going to lose our shirt on this one ..
This is exactly the kind of deal that shows the change in how the club is run (compared to the past)
- Aurier, Lloris, Sessegnon, Ndombele, even what we did with Perisic, and now Gil & probably Reguilon are going to be brick deals for us, but it's better for the player/club/manager just to draw a line under it and move on ..
Gil is an odd one, because his performances in his cameos for the team have been for the most part positive. He's lively, quick, nimble and has an eye for a pass. His size counts against him until he goes past someone like they are not there, so all I can assume is he's just crap in training. I know Ange has said some players who are good players will move on simply because New broom, but to me (as a former short tricky left footer) he's never had a proper chance to show his worth.
