Reported Newcastle loan target Billy Gilmour would put Jonjo Shelvey under serious pressure

According to the Northern Echo, Newcastle are interested in signing Billy Gilmour on loan from Chelsea.

The Magpies have reportedly enquired about the Scottish midfielder, as well as Tammy Abraham.

Of course, they will only be able to sign one of the two on loan.

A move for Abraham will surely be too difficult. The striker is out of favour at Stamford Bridge, and seems set to leave this summer.

According to the Daily Mail, he is resigned to leaving Chelsea.

However, his £40million price tag will put him out of our reach. And a permanent move rather than another loan seems better suited to both parties.

But a loan move for Gilmour seems much more achievable. And he could be the Jonjo Shelvey replacement some fans are craving.

Gilmour could be perfect loan addition for Newcastle

The 19-year-old has impressed during his limited first-team appearances at Chelsea. He would have played even more had it not been for injury.

Gilmour certainly impressed his former manager Frank Lampard, who tipped him to be a ‘huge player’ for Chelsea.

The youngster operates in a deep midfield role, and is capable of transitioning the play from defence to attack.

That is exactly what Shelvey’s role is at Newcastle. However, his influence has somewhat waned in recent years.

As time has gone by, Shelvey has become far less influential possession. Meanwhile, he is often criticised for his work off the ball.

But despite fan concerns, Shelvey is a constant figure under Steve Bruce.

He has no competition in the role he plays, but that would change if Gilmour arrived.

The midfielder could play alongside Shelvey. However, in the system we ended the season with, Gilmour seems perfectly suited to the number eight’s role.

There would be a disadvantage though, as Gilmour is so highly rated at Chelsea that we would likely have no chance of ever signing him permanently.

But with money set to be tight this summer, we just have to take what we can get.

Newcastle fans should be able to get a closer look at Gilmour this summer, especially when Scotland face England on June 18th.

Despite boasting zero caps, he is part of the Scotland squad for the delayed Euros.

Whether he performs at the Euros or not, Gilmour would be a fantastic addition on loan for Newcastle.

Played 10 mins or so, did alright not enough time in the game to really make an impression. 

Free kick given for their equaliser in like the 87th minute was piss poor. Depay was on the ground more than on his feet. 

[DH1988 1,348]

May be an unpopular opinion, but its quite sad to see how he has regressed over the last 6 months or so, maybe a touch longer. Result of not getting regular game time or feeling not valued perhaps. Still got bags of talent, but seriously needs a good loan spell to a footballing side, not a relegation dog fight.

I'd like to see him at Leeds.

Don't think he will get played ahead of Kalvin Phillips in that number 6 position or even the boy Klich for them but maybe would get in ahead of Stuart Dallas. Depends though. Bound to be other good teams he could go, wouldnt even need to be PL. Could easily go Bundesliga and handle himself excellently I think.

I find it odd you say regressed.

I mean unless you watched the youth team/reserves or Scotland u21s, your effectively basing him off the two games v Liverpool and Everton last season, which aye were great games but obviously, he is a young player, they have these highs and lows in performance level.

Injury maybe put a speed bump in his path but he’s hardly dropped off enough to say he’s regressed and I think it’s probably fairer to say he’s just not had two games like his first 2 starts. Actually thought he played decently enough v Arsenal and City, as well as second half v Fulham when he was playing 1 v 2 the whole time as Mason was basically playing as a auxiliary left winger

Bit unsure how you’ve come to this conclusion. Unless you are of course comparing his standard based on 2 great games, which if a senior player had played like that it would be the same, which he received great amount of.

[!Hazard! 3,394]

Maybe Norwich would be a good choice for him. They play some decent football but they just really need players of higher calibre in order to execute their game plan in the Premier League as well (or else it's gonna end up in a disaster like their last time in the PL).

Subbed on at HT v Luxembourg then taken off after maybe 25 minutes, did really well though.

Think he got some sort of wee knock, maybe nothing serious but one of those with the Euros starting up next week just precautionary taking him off hopefully. 

Would say his cameos in both games maybe puts him in a decent position to start if Steve Clarke is bold enough, although even as a option off the bench he’s good to have. The same for Nathan Patterson who was excellent and looked miles ahead of Stephen O’Donnell as out RB. 

Lots of optimism for the Euros!

If he has a good Euros he should get a decent loan. Personally, I would be tempted to send him to Spain.

Maybe.

Ultimately it depends on how the Euros goes, we all hate to say it but these big tournaments are good and bad for clubs: injuries, discovery of new players, players having great tournaments etc.

I think he will contribute for Scotland, he looked much better than Callum McGregor did which I was surprised with but he also was poor v Holland. Will see if he starts but I think he still has to compete with David Turnbull also for a role in the MF 3 and DT is much more of a creative player than we have in the other options I would say, who didn’t start today or play at all, so it will be interesting. 

I think in all likelihood he will probably get a loan of some sort but who’s to say he doesn’t have an amazing euros and come back and start for us? I think after the Euros it will be clearer. The teams got to be right, no point sending him to Burnley or Newcastle for instance without being too disrespectful but they dont play through their midfield as often, normally going more direct to the frontmen.

Give him a 2 year loan to a Bundesliga team?
