All the skills and no final ball apparently, from what I have read. Should slot in well...

Fingers crossed this isn't the case.


I read somewhere that the holocaust didn't happen but I don't believe that.

A slightly OTT way of saying, don't believe everything you read. I wasn't reading the works of Jean-Marie Le Pen.

As I said let's hope he proves to be a good find.
He is a right winger though!

Very good...:-)

With respect Albrighton's hardly played for Leicester this season.

It's not unknown for players to bust their gut against a former club, see Vassell's frequent goals against us.

Any chance he can bring Jesus Gil  with him?

Alive ? That would be some miracle.

Sorry CAitken.
In my state of deep claret and blue depression, completely missed your sharp, incisive wit.

I really hope this puts paid to any ludicrous notion of signing Tom Cleverley permanently.  Also must mean Lambert is going nowhere in a hurry.

He's been injured for a good while...and If that's why Pearson chose him and it worked, that's exactly my point.
A manager/coach employing specific players to do specific jobs to create specific effect.
Lambert's "tactic" seems to be: put the same players out every game, playing the same way and it will all work out fine in the end/eventually/at some point/with the wind in the right direction/rub of the green/law of averages etc etc.
His new mantra seems to be "we just have to keep working hard"...he repeats it about three times in his post-match interview. ie doing the same thing until it starts to show successful product. It won't.
Hitting head against wall approach, almost perfectly captured.

Glad on the one hand, sad on the other.

I'm not really sure how the signing of one player equates to not signing another player that plays in a different position, though. We probably won't sign him, but that won't have anything to do with us signing gil.

I was probably wrongly assuming they were using the cleverley money for this signing.

Sadly the ghost of Jesus Gil would be more hands on than Randy

I used to work with a Brazilian guy in the Canary Islands called Gil (pronounced Hill). Typical Brazilian he just used his last name Gil, not any of his twenty Christian names. Looked like Andi Peters. The comparison doesn't end there. Like Andi Peters he never married for some reason.

Exciting signing and obviously one Lambert has been tracking for a while. Played with Sanchez at Elche which could be very important in helping him settle. The obligatory YouTube clip reminds me of Wes Hoolahan. Seems to have a nice low centre of gravity, touch and pace. Attributes someone like Andi Weimann painfully lack. His stats aren't hectic but at 22 his best football is surely ahead of him.

The only worry would be how light he seems. Our recent successful(ish) signings have all been physically ready for EPL football (Okore, Sanchez, Benteke, Cissokho), others like Tonev, Lowton, Bennett, Kea struggled physically and was part of the reason they didn't work out. Might be next season before we see the best of Gil.
