Meanwhile over on Spurs Community - bombshell itk just dropped
Daffodils are yellow

Bryan to Brighton?
Fuck do i know
I really think there’s an excellent player lurking in Bryan Gil, it’s just that his lack of physicality will deny him the platform to do so, and I don’t think it’s a Premier League thing either.
“Earn the right to play”, is used in reference to matching the opponent physically before letting your superior talent take over, and he sadly just can’t.
It’s a shame because I believe his touch and spin out of the Man City pressure to release Kulusevski for Son’s goal at the Etihad was one of the best individual bits of play by any Spurs players this season; he then spent the rest of his game getting devoured by Kyle Walker.

Bro's just happy to be at Hotspur way enjoying the good vibes with Porro and Bentancur, no point rushing until the Summer I guess but I guess he's going to get limited mins.
I can't knock him.... Having had a really unsettled first few years in terms of managers and being in and out on loan; he's backing himself and giving himself the best chance he can to finally stake a claim.... It very well may not pan out, but at least the lad can feel he finally got to give it a proper shake this season.
If Bernado Silva can why can't he?
Silva always had a balance and sturdiness to him that Gil has yet to show.
I've seen and heard comments against Gil into today's match and I think they're overly harsh. He was making clearances and aiming to be a nuisance. He didn't choose himself as the sub. I agree that a taller player would have been the wiser choice given everything that was going on, but I put that on Ange.
He seems to have contracted Eric Dier Syndrome. The patient is typically unable to realistically assess his first team prospects and persists in a delusion to stay and fight for a first team place when no such opportunity is available to him.
Brighton would have been a great move for him. He needs an extended run of Premier League football and with Brighton's track record for developing players it would have been a perfect match. It's infuriating the way he keeps getting farmed out to the Spanish league and this was an opportunity to really show us what he can do.
I really thought we had a great player in Gil and thought that he was sidelined by some horrible, conservative managers, but he has had a good chance to show his skills and has not done so. Is there still a great player there that just needs a few good games to come good or were we sold a pup? I am prepared to give him some slack as we all remember the ‘Bale curse‘ , but…
No, he has the skills set, it's his physicality that need the work I reckon!
That was one of the concerns about Modric but all he needed was a run in central midfield.
Fabrizio Romano reveals club held 'secret talks' about signing Tottenham star in January - Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News
Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Real Sociedad held ‘secret talks’ with Tottenham Hotspur over a potential deal for Bryan Gil during last month’s transfer window....
He’s not a PL player and only ever played this season when more robust players weren’t available.
He doesn’t have a future here, good lad and good talent but will never be able to ride a challenge in this league. Ange has made his mind up on him.
Yeah yeah and he selected Scarlett over him today.
Ange is a very polite person and has said similar things about all the players that we’ve tried to flog. If he believed in Gil, he would select him.
We need Scarlett on the bench with no Richy fit.
