Dont see why we would sell anybody to City,  yet alone a 18 year old with who huge potential who could be a key part of the side for 10 years+ once he gets consistent gametime. Not as if they would sell to us either.

I agree it won't, and wouldn't, happen in either direction. I'm only offering a glimpse of an option I would consider.

This lad has the potential to be the best of the youth he isn’t going anywhere.

Btw are you related to Mount? 

Hopefully soon if he says yes to my proposal

I believe that Lewis Bate is more talented. That is NOT the same as saying he will be a better player. It takes more than just talent so, even if I'm right about the comparison, it's no guarantee that Lewis will even be as good as Billy. I'm very interested to see how Lewis develops however. Were I in a position to do so, I would take him into account when making squad decisions. A manager might veto it on grounds of size, because they are both small, but it is certainly possible that the two could play together. Everything has to go into the melting pot when squad building.

Perhaps but again (and this is not a dig direfted at your post either), when we have a young player breaking through we apparently have a better or more talented one in our youth set up/out on loan when things go south or talk of interest from other teams.

Mount breaks into the team half a year later, Conor Gallagher is all of a sudden much better/talented. 

Gilmour breaks into the first team set up, moving into the first team training ground, has a great game v Liverpool, linked with City, then we have someone more talented in the youth set up.

I have seen Lewis Bates and he does look like he could be a good player but I do think if these guys (him and Conor) were truely more talented theyd be in the first team squad 100%, thats my genuine view on it. Frank has shown he isnt afraid to give minutes or squad places to academy boys so there has to be a reason why if they are more talented that they arent in the squad. I do think its due to the fact they arent quite as talented or ready to the same degree the others are. Even Conte took Hudson-Odoi and gave him his debut because it was obvious he was more talented than many others and closer to being ready than many others in the set up. 

It will be interesting to see next season what Franks view on some of the younger guys out on loan ie Ampadu, Gallagher as well as Castillo, Sterling and Chalobah too maybe but I dont think any bar Ampadu will have a huge chanve of being in there next season. More so now he can sign players, I dont think hes going to throw these guys aside in the longrun but he knows ae need more proven quality in some areas to be more competitive.

Fantastic performance. He has all Jorginho's attributes but with more speed and strength to boot. He has to be a starter from now on. There must be a reason why we are so comfortable anytime he's controlling the midfield.

Everton were awful tbh. So much space in midfield. 

However I'm inclined to agree. I want him to start the next few games. Next to Kovacic especially.

Nah he played better than Jorginho.

I am glad I can see Gilmour playing higher in the 2nd half. I am interested to see what happen when he has less space to operate.

I even think he's a better passer than Jorginho, but I don't want to push it since he's young and it's only two games. 

Jorginho has this annoying knack for giving difficult to receive passes which makes the attacker need to take an extra touch before he can control the ball, Gilmour passes it on the grass, neat and tidy. And he also gets his head up before he receives a pass, so he knows if he's manmarked and who to pass to before the ball gets to him. He also covers so much ground its ridiculous. 

Gilmour reminds me of a young Verrati really

And he created a clear chance for Anjorin but unfortunately Tino shited in his pants

Gilmour is the better passer imo not only that he has a good ball control ability which allow him to handle pressure which is important.

It feels to me like Gilmour has more aggression about him - he may be small in size (similar to Jorginho) but is not afraid to get into challenges - and is a lot more mobile and agile than Jorginho.

Tino looked nervous. Maybe a loan will be good for him next year

2 starts in a week, 2 MOTM awards. This kid is just ridiculous

For sure. Next two seasons if you ask me. 

But he is just a kid, he is not an alien like Gilmour
