Re: Wilfried Gnonto
Will likely get plenty of game time in the two friendlies.
There’s a lot to like and hope he continues to make an impact.
Still seems more a second half replacement than a starter

Re: Wilfried Gnonto
Willy Gnonto, Liverpool and Bouremouth, so much joy for so few minutes. Just hope he isn't treated like Joffey expected to produce with really limited play time.
He has really tight control and a really good one touch pass in his game that should suit Jesse's tight, narrow system. Trust him, play him I say.

Re: Wilfried Gnonto
Deserves a bump.
Hold my hands up, I wasn't convinced, not going to go overboard now either.
But he was a 1 man attack yesterday (until Joffy came on) whilst Aaronson flopped about and Rodrigo moved with all the speed of an asthmatic ant with some heavy shopping.
Really positive in his play and tried to make things happen.
Bet Marsch drops him though

Re: Wilfried Gnonto
I watched him for FC Zurich when he came on as a sub against Hearts. 15 minutes where he only got passed to 3 or 4 times but his quality and footballing intelligence shone through. Was delighted when I found out we had actually signed him on deadline day. Signing him as a result of Bamba Dieng (or whatever his name is) deciding not to come to us could well be the equivalent of Cuisance failing the medical and us getting Raphinha instead.Cjay wrote: ↑Thu Dec 29, 2022 12:49 pm Deserves a bump.

Re: Wilfried Gnonto
Probably will because instead of playing at 100mph and trying to force a pass Gnonto uses his brain. That isn't needed in a JM team hence Klich is a peripheral figure.

Re: Wilfried Gnonto
One of Gnonto/Summerville is going to the bench when Sinisterra returns... I don't see Gnonto as a 9 for some reason, could be wrong

If we sign someone like Gyorkares (my obsession this window) then I'm OK with Aaronson, Sinisterra, Summerville and Gnonto as support cast
But he did well yesterday and for a little bloke he got stuck in well.

He is a second striker according to himself.

Was basing it on his comments post match about Harrison and Summerville.
It should be Summerville and Gnonto but I bet it won't be.

Re: Wilfried Gnonto
I don't see Gnonto as a 9 either. More of a forward player in a forward 3 like how Liverpool do it with the 3 forwards all chipping in with a healthy amount of goals. Would expect Gnonto to be more of an impact player from the bench for the near future but as he showed against City he can be lively from the start.

Seriously though different people see different things which is why some scouts are no doubt better than others. I also saw him in an Italy game and he was poor, albeit his team mates failed to pass to him a few times when he was in good positions. In the Zurich game he did very little but you could see that he knew what he wanted to do and my feeling was that in a better team he would shine.
Re: Wilfried Gnonto
Club will apparently ask fans to change the words to the Wilfried Gnonto chant
Kick it out have also criticised it.
Bloody snowflakes (according to some on here)

Re: Wilfried Gnonto
Didn’t they put something out before suggesting the words “he plays for United” replace the ‘offending line’.

Re: Wilfried Gnonto
Anything like that chant is going to attract criticism and deservedly so in my opinion - those who think it’s ok will consider it a complement much like David Brent explaining his bread bin joke on the office. Worst thing is the usual types will continue to sing it much like the Saville songs they still find so hilarious.

Re: Wilfried Gnonto
Maybe in t' future, when the club buy a player, they give us fans a list of songs which we are allowed to sing, ones that will fit in more with boardroom acceptances !!
Or ask the player what tune /song they would prefer the fans to sing .

Re: Wilfried Gnonto
Gnonto, I'd prefer we praise his skills than his appendage, he clearly doesn't like it and it's embarrassing him.
Probably would be funny to a bunch of teenagers.
So here's mine, I might be showing my age here.

He drinks Moretti he eats spaghetti, ahhh Shaddap You Face.
