Transfer Rumour Wilifred Gnonto

[Goodisongang]

He seems very hot and cold to me. The sort of player I’d be happy signing if we were a safe mid table team, but I’m not sure he’d be trusted in a relegation threatened team (hence was on the bench a lot at Leeds)

Also with his style of play and stature doesn’t seem a Dyche player at all tbh. Thought Harrison would be the more likely sigsigningt

To to be fair wasn't he starting most games until fat sam took over? He's the most negative manager I've ever known so wouldn't look to much into that.

Rather have gnonto over Harrison all day

Gordon's final pass was awful, every time. This guy seems to be able to put the ball in the right place and capable of finishing.

Plus his face. I couldn't stand Gordon's horrible little egotistical red sh*te face.

Looking at the few clips on YouTube.

Very impressed with his strength and hold up play. He had a lot of pace and he has provided some good assists also.

He reminds me of Shaqui (spit) with that low centre of gravity.

I see him as a Iwobi/Gray replacement tho so we would still be lacking squad depth

 

[Furey1878]

Collective loss of marbles over this player.

Believe me, he hasn't got it.

A head down non-team player who's reputation way outweighs his ability.

Would encourage you to look at some clips, Dave. He seems to play with his head up from some of the through balls, reverse passes and balls into the box I've seen in the clips anyways.

….lets not forget that despite 11 full international caps for Italy, he’s still only 19. We shouldn’t be buying for a relegation fight, we should be buying to avoid a relegation fight & I feel that can be the case with the right attacking options.

Also, not sure what a ‘Dyche’ type player is. It’s easy to stereotype a Manager but he had the likes of Cornet and Vydra at Burnley who were small in stature. I think he just wants decent players.

Is Gnoto the tiny one?

 

[Neiler]

5.5" i think.

 

[LocalNative]

Is he a bit Pienaar?

Not really. Direct, raw, skilful and uses his physicality to great effect. He always reminds me of Shaqiri/Sanchez - real stocky but rapid winger.

Wee willy

Be very happy with both him and Harrison - Rodrigo to for that matter.

My only hesitation is, we are often poor at developing players his age, though its been better under Kev so far to be very fair.

Have a feeling he'll end up at Inter Milan and the last press leak was to encourage/force some negotiations there.

You could be on to something here...his agent was recently in Italy talking to inter...

He also had Arron Lennon at Burnley, very similar stature, both with electric pace.

Euros are next summer arent they, he might want to play games - we can offer that to him.

Think is a fair price for him not sure why leeds fans think they can get 40 for him.
