Transfer Rumour Wilifred Gnonto

So... I'm definitely not vouching for this info, just passing along.

As some of you know, I work in the Liver Building. My boss is 100% convinced he saw Gnonto getting out of a big dark blue merc outside the building this morning, as he was arriving for work. My first thought was why would he be here rather than FF, but I suppose there could potentially be some logic as there'll be a lot of press around for the final training before the season starts...

I'm skeptical, but thought I'd pass it on.

All the press are at the Reds' press conference

We will rename you Birkenut if true

…I like him, he’d offer genuine threat but I recall Leeds having him on the bench in some of their crucial games during the run-in.

Probably among the most overrated players in the league last season.

Brilliant in moments, looks amazing on highlight videos on youtube or on MOTD, but does not really offer much over 90 minutes.

Kind of telling how Sam Allardyce (the podcaster) talked him up a lot last season while Sam Allardyce (the Leeds manager) started him in only two of the four matches he was in charge and subbed him before 60 minutes both matches.

Probably half a dozen Leeds players that did better than him last season. He did not do much for Italy U21 this summer in a championship Anthony Gordon was player of the tournament playing as a 9.

If he was 25 I would not have him near Everton. But he is 19 with bags of potential. And probably no worse than Gray.

Not sure where he will play though. As wide midfielders Iwobi and McNeil have been tasked with defending as full backs 60 minutes every game. Can Gnonto do that? And does he have the legs needed?

For now he probably is best suited to compete with Danjuma and Doucoure for minutes centrally just behind a striker. And I can't see him being a first choice there. Not yet.

That said, getting 8-10 league starts and minutes from the bench is pretty good for a 19 years old. No one should expect him to be a regular his first season.

This will go up there with Donkor at Nandos if true. Fair play mate.

I mean to be fair I'm not taking either variety of Sam Allardyce's opinion on an attacking player terribly seriously.
And given that he also had the worst record of any of the Leeds managers last season, I'm not sure his selections in those 4 games should carry much weight

Yes the same Sam Allardyce who got 1 point from 12 and conceded 9 in his last 3 games while trying to park the bus

I am not totally sure if the lad would be a good signing for us, but the fact Allardyce didn't play him that much means very little. Sam did a really bad job there and they went down without any fight.
