I’d rather have Alexandra Burke

I'd take Kathy Burke before him at this stage.

We're going to sign him on loan now, aren't we...

You are miles off it with this take. Gilmour shines in every game he plays. Have you actually watched him play football? He is the real deal. Already miles better than SJM.

Gilmour looks a great prospect but there’s absolutely no way anyone can say he’s miles better than McGinn. I’d find it hard to believe anyone could say he’s even better, never mind miles better after 8 appearances (some of which I’m assuming were off the bench).

Gilmour already looks like a player that the Chelsea team could be built around and they are a top four side. Not sure that you could say that about McGinn right now while he is at Villa.

We've done this before with young Scottish players. Why not wait till he's actually done something substantive before we start bumming him up?

It could also be build around Pulisic, Werner, Kovacic or even Loftus Cheek who have have shown much, much more. Seriously, this hype is nonsense. Let the kid play and grow. He is miles from this level already. He's the same age as Erling Haaland ffs, thats a real world class young player.

[The Modfather]

Watched a little bit of the Arsenal game, Tierney looks a class act IMO. I’ve never thought his quality was in doubt (although not yet at the level and consistency of Robertson), and at £25m, was a bit of a steal in the previous market. The big question mark is about whether he can stay fit or not.

Or how about promoting a player that’s already showing it? He’s a world class player. It’s not about bumming up when you are this good.

World class players earn the title with years of top performances at the highest level. The lads not even had a half season in the first team.

Looks quality right enough, bit early for the world class accolades though.

Tierney had a great game today. He’ll prove his worth at Arsenal no probs. Top talent.

Come on now. He might be a great prospect but way too early to be calling him a world class player.

Indeed. Chelsea have ****e, Jorginho, Kovacic and soon Ziyech who are actually top players. He currently isn't anywhere near their level. Hopefully he gets there but nothing close right now

Yet he starts before two of them today ? Lampard must rate him ...

Billy Gilmour starts today for Chelsea.

Today will be a good idea of where he's at. He is clearly a good player and has the qualities, potential, and even the situation at Chelsea to make himself into a great player. But that's all it is just now, potential. He's not better than SJM or even Fleck that are doing it week in and week out in the same league as he's getting the odd sub appearance in.

Let the laddie grow, watch with excitement, but don't rush too far ahead with shouts of World Class etc because as good as he is he's not ready to start for Scotland etc in the coming months.


On the topic of Tierney I'm glad to see he's starting to get a run of games to show what he's capable of, the guy isn't Andy Robertson but then he's arguably in the top 2/3 left backs in the World at the moment so is it that much of an insult to not be as good as he is? Not for me. What I'd like to see is him get fit and ready to perhaps play left centre back in either a back 3 or 4 ahead of some of the clowns we have at the moment occupying they slots.

Yes, obviously he rates him. Its also a cup tie, where Lampard has given him games all season. Its 1 game mate. Those 3 have dozens of games ahead of him this season.

Are you perhaps talking about Tierney? Because I was referring to Gilmour. Please don't tell me you think Gilmour's has earned the accolade of WC after a handful of games for Chelsea.

He started league games too before them before the league stopped . I reckon he will get regular first team game time going forward , as much as those others

[Andy74]

World Class Gilmour with a very shaky start. 😉

Will be a real test for Chelsea and Gilmour this game ..Leicester are a good side with good players ...

He’s having a bit of a mare.

3 gifted opportunities in first 20 mins. Almost a 4th there before he recovered it.

Wasn’t that long ago he was sent off at East Mains, for an off the ball kick at a Hibs youngster

Billy Gilmour is not world class. That’s quite a ridiculous take. He has potential and has played well for a couple of games. Shocking today by all accounts. Long way to go before he gets to anywhere near world class level. Andy Robertson is our only world class player, imo.

Had the type of day that if you react well was probably a decent education on the standard required. Fingers crossed he’s that type of laddie.

Still plenty to learn for oor Billy then

[Brummie_Hibs]

A few years ago there were scant few Scottish players playing in EPL. Now we have about a dozen who are Scottish international standard.

To me that is great progress. Good luck to all of them and for Scotland.
