Why is this thread "silly"?
He's still a TFC player and you're free to not participate.
It's too exciting to see if we can formally call him a flop or not. I think it suitable to change the thread name to Gilberto, though. 7 goals does not a Goalberto make...

It's silly cause as Pete rightfully pointed out, he may not be a flop, but the name goalberto is thouroughlly laughable. But thank you Alonso for letting me know I don't have to comment. That was both clever and original.
Well thanks for the compliments Cal, much appreciated.
It's too bad we'll likely not see if Goalberto could have had a break out year for us this season though.
I'm just very glad he wasn't traded to Montreal as was being lined up by the league, watching him do a Plata for the L'Impact would have been unbearable.
Yeah it would have been crazy if he went nuts this year scored like, 8 goals.
Would have loved to see him in Montreal. Would have made it all the more sweet to give him shit.
Lol.
Well he scored 17 for Portuguesa before he perhaps flopped here. Let's see...
I, for one, am glad he left MLS. I don't need to see him perhaps improve against us.

Well to be fair I did say do a "Plata" for Montreal.
ie. 13 goals and 6 assists in 26 appearances last year for RSL.
Thanks for the equally clever and original comments though.
He started for Vasco Sunday.
No he did not score.
Yellow card at 43 mintues.
Subbed after 76 minutes.
You're the one who wanted to take an un-needed dig. All I suggested is that we remove a thread of a player who is no longer with us.
I'm reminded though about how much Gilberto was a team guy, so I'll leave this here. Watch how pumped he his that the team got a late equalizer.
He was always here for himself. 8 goals or 80 goals, good F*cking riddance.
Twist it any which way you like, you're welcome to it.
Meh, ignore him..he's a gilber-troll, he's always had a hate on for gilberto and his rager for defoe hasn't gone away.

Always good to hear from you Shwade. You see that video I posted of your boy sulking? It's great! Just scroll up a few posts. Can't miss it.
alright. behave.
this is the last warning
“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’

Andrea Lom-bardo! Andrea Lom-bardo!
Sorry to break it to the haters but Gilberto is still TFC property. So if he does well at Vasco it's good for us. Either him coming back or being sold on somewhere else.
This isn't a debate about Gilberto and Defoe.. Let's keep it on Gilberto talk about his play at Vasco please.
I still cant believe the hate Gilberto gets when we've had players like Mista and JDG who literally robbed money from TFC over the years. Sheesh.
Where were you when someone called this thread silly? Is that attacking the person or argument?
Where were you when someone was suggesting that a poster was not clever or original? Is that attacking the person or the argument?
I think that you might be a few posts too late and perhaps have the wrong person?

I can only moderate the exchanges I happen to see, Alonso. Surely you can understand that.

Understood absolutely.
That's why I was suggesting. You guys (moderators) have the worst job of all.
It is very much under appreciated, and for that I apologize.
^seems pretty team-matey to me.
Buuut that ONE video Califax posted...
All the above photos must be out of context
I think there is no question he couldn't stand Defoe. I think Vanney even mentioned it after the season.
You can't write off a guy and say he doesn't give a shit based on one video or even a couple.
Carlos Ruiz on the other hand....

for those interested, Gil is wearing the orangey-yellow boots, shows wells, three great looks at goal, the first was a brilliant header, second a decent shot from the top right of the box, and the third was a bit of acrobatics that saw the ball go just wide
goal off of a penalty, sent the keeper the wrong way and got hyped x100 when he scored
loved him when he was here and i still love him
