Transfer Rumour Wilifred Gnonto

[barneygumble]

Didn't realise Leeds spent 3 seasons in League One.

The past 20 years they've spent as long in League One as the Prem.

When we're cry arsing it in, we should think of Leeds. Rough, that.

I think in the last 60 years they’ve spent more time out of the top flight than they have in it.

Had a couple of good patches but by large always been a bit meh really.

I always take those stories with a pinch of salt. I remember when Gary Speed was with us, there was a story that he refused to play for us because he wanted to go to Newcastle. The truth came out years later that Everton needed to sell him, but leaked that story to the media so it looked like Gary forced the move. Gary never said anything at the time because he was an everton fan and didnt want to drag the club down.

With Gnonto it could well be that Leeds are trying to get his move done so they can bring in their own replacements.

Is the EFL transfer window different to the PL?

its weird that someone actually wants to join us

or .. i want to play in the prem?

 

[matty1878]

Yeah but you couldn't though.

[marsh]

Hurry up and get it done before he realises we're crap and goes somewhere else

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

i could

Then you should probably go and do it. You'll be very rich.

….reading @alan ball brilliant compilations, so many of his teammates said his presence transformed the club. I saw him but wasn’t old enough to judge. He must be in the top category of great Everton players.

Not sure if it’s on YouTube but there’s a tackle he made in the first minute of the 1965 FA Cup Final (I think on Gerry Byrne) that borders on GBH.

He was another of the players we sold too soon.

The Leeds reporter in the Athletic (Phil Hay?) saying that Willy is in the squad for Dirty Leeds’ next game and trained today - feels a bit like Chelsea’s pursuit of Gordon this one…will drag on.

I’m half expecting Villa to come in with a late bid

So is mine. Eggs chips and peas. Can’t beat it

…cannibal.

He's the one I'm most excited by tbh, looked like he had loads of quality most of the time I watched him last season.

When your used to Alex iwobi on the wing as well

 

[Exeter_Gently]

It’s done.

What is?

….mmm, they were our main rivals in the late 60s early 70s, to be fair we were the top sides in the country at that stage. Games against them were often more like wars than football matches. Not sure I mentioned, but I did score 2 screamers at Elland Rd in 1971 so I have mixed feelings for the place .

Weirdly, in January I was in a Canary Island bar and got talking to a Leeds fan. I said how much I liked Gnonto and he said he was convinced Everton would get relegated. I thought about that bloke on the last day of the season & I imagine he thought of me. He’ll think of me again if we sign Gnonto.

They’ve always been a bit of a bogey team for us, in my mind anyway, and results wise going back a bit iirc.
