Wilfried Gnonto - Fiorentina Loan

[hector]

Ah... when he said sinking ships I was picturing a camel up to its knees in sand.

Can I have some of what you are smoking??

Leeds slap on £25m asking price for Gnonto: https://www.teamtalk.com/news/sources-l ... ied-gnonto

Stick him in with the u23's and if he refused to play fine him , he will be worth a lot more in the January window . I would rather he was forced to stay i believe he will go on to become an outstanding footballer.
Cannot believe the power and money these players have nowadays.

Yes. I'm done with this little fucker. As exciting as he can be to watch, we don't need to be wasting precious time and energy on a petulant teenager.

If nothing else, the club should fine him for acting in bad faith.

Would be a decent profit. Should add 5million in nuisance fee.

What gets me is:

Why the hell do Everton look so attractive to him, that he has to cause this much trouble?

[Carrick Dave]

Apparently the sell-on fee to Zurich is exceptionally high.

Allegedly, we had a 50% sell on when we sold Caprile.

See where I’m going here?

This would be a real shame for us. He should stay for at least another season unless mega money is offered. Play for the shirt ffs and .......Everton? Hahaha
Can anyone else not see how him partnering up with Summerville would tear this league apart...maybe become a Leeds legend someday perhaps.
We would need a very decent replacement otherwise.

Thats what I said a few days ago (along with Sini).
They are crucial to our season. Maybe we could lose one and be ok, but defensively we aren't going to be good enough, so we need all 3 of them (preferably) to fire our season.

Just read the club statement about him.
He is not for sale and wont be part of Farke's set-up for the weekend. No more will be said. QED.

That's more like it. I am willing to bet Farke had a good bit of say in making this decision - as he intimated in his press conference yesterday - the club must be in the driving seat in all player negotiations.

Now, Willie - enjoy cleaning Luke Ayling's boots for the next 4 months.
Little dickhead.

Leeds say Gnonto is not for sale

Gnonto says he won't play this weekend

[malcolmw]

I hope Willie and his agent have noted that Everton have just signed Youssef Chermiti, 19 year old from Sporting for 15M.
Still think you're the only teenager who can kick a football?
Still think the grass is greener at Goodison park?

Exactly that. Those three are currently our best at our club for attacking the opposition.. It looks like we've upped our asking price. Let's hope they all stay.

"Feels he is not able to play"

How many of us would ever have an issue with getting on the pitch and kicking a football around. Sorry ass little twat.

[WhiteRose]

Leeds united statement: “Despite training for the last two days, Willy has informed Daniel Farke that he still does not feel able to play this weekend and has not travelled to Birmingham for the game tomorrow. This is now an internal disciplinary matter and the club will make no further comment, other than to reiterate that Willy is not for sale.”

Careful, the “oh he’s just looking out for his family in case a life changing injury is round the corner” crew will be reprimanding you in a minute.
Yeah the wife always says the same “all they do is kick a football around”. Tbh I’ve no idea if Gnonto is really doing or saying what is being reported but if he is it just sums up modern sportsmen for me and he supposedly has a history of being a spoilt child according to Zurich White (think that’s his name).

[WhiteRose]

He has 4 years left with us, cost what 5 million, we would be well within our rights to leave him in the under 21’s for the next 4 years

The dirty little rat! He is done here even if we don't sell him: the fans (me included) will not forgive this!!!

Agreed.
