Transfer Rumour Wilifred Gnonto

[BlueStevie35]

According to Twitter or whatever it’s called now….

Gnonto has withdrawn his transfer request and will train with the Leeds squad tomorrow.

He hasn’t, that was a so called gag from a ‘funny’ football account

20mil up front with another 7mil at the end of the season if we stay up plus 6mil add ons an sell on dunno if that's a good deal ...yes we need bodies in but still

Why would anyone let 7m ride on Everton not getting relegated?

This will be utter BS in my opinion.
Their fans and him have a poisonous relationship now.
File under very unlikely .
However anything could be possible with this train wreck of a club.

According to the Daily Fail, the deal has collapsed

Was there ever a deal?

God only knows. Think they are reporting any potential deal is apparently dead.

Why are hardly any clubs in for this raw and exciting talent? Hundreds of clubs knew everything about him when he played in Switzerland. Still he ended being sold for a low fee.

He was good in moments last season, but he was often really bad. If Leeds fans were to rate their players from last season, where would he end up? For sure not top 5.

Compare with Johan Bakayoko that we were linked with this week. Same age as Gnonto and I probably similarly priced. He is linked everywhere. Firm interest from Napoli. The player Liverpool supposedly have chosen to one day replace Salah. Links to PSG. Different levels. When it comes to interest, ability and potential.

If Gnonto was 26 we'd all be moaning if Everton paid 10 million for him. Yes, there is a potential upside with buying and develop young players, but Everton has a manager that has shown no will to play and develop young players for the better part of a decade. Typical Sean Dyche would be to pay silly money for Gnonto and bench him for Ashley Young.

Think 12 months back. The excitement we had for Nathan Patterson. Because how much he had improved. Being coached by Baines and Ashley Cole and being the best right back Everton have had for years. In comes Dyche, preferring Coleman and Patterson has regressed massively. Such a shame. But this is what Dyche does.

Haven’t got a clue what Dyche is trying to do full stop in all honesty. On Gnonto I’m not sure about him as there is no end product. We should use funds elsewhere.

Sooner have a decent centre forward.
Make them.an offer , give them a couple of days to accept or not
If not move on.
How he gets on with leeds and its fans after that is no concern of are club.
May as well go back for kudus at ajax at the prices quoted.
Who I think would do us a better job.

Leeds don't want to sell this lad. We've spent all window hanging our hat on signing him. Move on and bring in someone else, preferably an actual centre forward!

This has all the signs of the "we tried really hard" transfer for the summer

At no point has it actually looked like we were going to sign him but its dragged for weeks

 

[Mrbluenose]

We need to walk away from a few deals to shed our image of rubbish/desperate negotiators who pay what people ask.

We have a habit of doing that for some reason. Did the same with Broja, Gallagher, and Giroud. We waited all window for things to maybe drop into place or for their clubs to make a decision and then when they don’t pan out we’re left in the last few days scrambling around for scraps

 

[PhilEFC]

If it’s fell through at all, it’s what we all come to expect.

‘We tried hard, there was a willingness to get to get it over the line, a number of factors that have to come together etc.’ will all be rolled out out when Che Adams and the Southampton goalie are the only two new signings.

Certainly sounds like it might be dead. Perhaps our fourth bid (the very recent one) was rejected and everton have said, no more.
