Transfer Rumour Wilfried Gnonto

[blueblue]

Could of course work the other way now though as well where they refuse to lower their price/sell altogether.

True, we don't of course know what money they have to generate this summer and what was agreed with Gnonto last year to get him back playing then.

Either way - we still need a quality right-winger at the club. Been desperate for one for years now IMO.

That's sorted out by getting a quaity right back in who allows any winger to do their job to best effect.

Normally would agree with you Dave - but I don't think that's the way Dyche operates. He prefers his wide forwards to do the attacking and his fullbacks to just defend.. puts a lot of onus on those wide to provide most of the attacking output.

Dyche tucks the FBs in a lot when we're without the ball, but when we do have the ball you have to have competent FBs on both sides to get up and support the attacking midfielders out wide.

Harrison was handed a terrible workload last season and he still, for me, put in a 6/10 shift on average. We cant allow that exposure to happen again.

Somerville or Gnonto replacement ?

Probs replacing the one out of the two they no longer have.

The impact of Summerville's departure: Gnonto staying, Rutter future and Rowe interest

Sale of last season's Championship player of the year is a blow, but Leeds have a strong squad and can keep their remaining stars

Another player tipped with a move away from Elland Road this summer when Leeds failed to win promotion was Wilfried Gnonto, whose contract does not have a release clause. Despite pushing for a move last summer and the sale of close friend Summerville, the 20-year-old has been more settled.

Everton were the Italian’s biggest suitors but a deal is not close. Their recent addition of Jesper Lindstrom on loan from Napoli satisfies their need for a winger. Even so, Leeds say they have rejected a £23million offer for Gnonto from Everton, although the Premier League club’s position differs.

Deal seems dead. Move on.

You think that they would do that first in an ideal situation, so as not to be held to ransom, but are probably SKYNT for PSR like a lot of others I guess.

I think Summerville had a release clause.

Glad we seemed to have moved on quickly from this. At c.£23m that's definitely the upper limit of his worth currently, so no point in offering more.

positive news as we have 23mil to spend

Getting new full backs is of more pressing concern.

This might not be over yet

We don't. It's talking about the old bid from before O'Brien.

Why obsess with this little fella when we play shiteball, hit & hope?
We have Harrison and Maupay already FFS.
