He's not best suited to LB. His best games for the 21s and Norway have been at CB. Hopefully we sign a LB soon. Byram is good, but he won't make it through a 46 game season without getting injured.

Gaybi was also poor, but it's clear we need to keep Ampadu in midfield as often as possible

Sounds like Gnonto refused to play

Gyabi was absolutely awful as was Heljde. Every time i see Gyabi he looks bang average. Walks around too much, looks a bit lazy, barely put a tackle in. Gray is levels above him.

We hold all the cards here. £40m or he goes nowhere. Need to copy what Southampton are doing with Lavia. Not a good day for Leeds off the field. Gnonto agent obviously been in the lads ear. He’s only young, difficult situation for him to handle

Salford City away in the next round, good luck with that (if you can get a ticket). As a Hartlepool United fan, it's definitely the worst ground I have visited for away fans. Last season they still had just 2 cargo containers as portaloo's, and each one could fit in about 6 blokes. Come on Neville, Beckham & Co, at least spend some of your millions on the 5hit ground (unless you're still hoping to move to the AJ Bell stadium...)

ayling was bloody awful again. bin him and get dramah in

I think they will Tad when he's fully fit (unless he has said he wants to go, but he did come on as sub last night so looking unlikely).

Very interesting to see what has happened with Gnonto, the club could have received a good offer so it may not have been the player.. either way will come out in the wash and we hold all the cards. Big 7 days ahead imo, they will have to start again on the full back hunt too which is a big blow and could have to play Geldhart up front on Saturday which is not ideal, he can't hold the ball up.

Drameh came on at LB I think..

I think Gnonto is trying to force Leeds to lower their asking price. There's plenty of clubs interested all over Europe, but the price is probably putting them off.

He's easily worth £30m plus imo. Played well in the premier league and a full Italy international who has an eye for goal and is only 19! If we were still in the prem, add another £15/20m to that price.

Definitely. If Gordon is worth 45m, Gnonto is worth ar least 30m. Apparently, Leeds aren't entertaining a transfer. Although, a loan to the PL isn't out of the question, Apparently.

Adams will have his Chelsea medical today

That's a strange one... what benefit do we get by sending him on loan to a premier league team... he's not on big bucks.. if he wants to go, he's unlikely to want to come back... hope that is nonsense.

Hope we use Adams money on Hamer... dread to think if we need to rely on Gyabi

Yea. I would definitely play had ball. But if Gnonto 'goes on strike' then they may have no option but to loan him.

Should have swopped him for simms plus cash

Honestly make him rot in the reserves if he goes on strike. a loan gives us no benefit at all. He's 4 years left on his deal. It's very out of character for him though... always seemed a nice kid, he must have taken some bad advice from his agent.. it comes back to a point made earlier though i think, we need to bring in some quality and quickly to send a message to the likes of Gnonto that we could get back up quickly.

Gnonto leaving isn’t the end of the world if we can keep hold of Summerville and Sinistera.

Adam’s will be a miss but should be replaceable

Agree bud, we need the right fee though for Gnonto.

I totally agree. I think summerville is 50/50. no idea why nobodys been in for sinisterra yet. he is quality

Summerville injury could benefit Leeds in a way.... i think Sinesterra injury record may play a part too. Can you imagine though if we lost Gnonto, Sinesterra and Summerville...... say hello to 2 years at least in the championship... i'd be interested to know if Summerville has a release clause... i'm guessing probably not given he's been in the system a few years..

I thought Adam’s injury may have helped us but never mind.

Agree we need to get a decent fee for Gnonto and also can’t believe no one is in for Sinistera, he’s the best of the lot for me, shows glimpses of Raphinia quality. Just needs to stay fit!

Summerville came through the ranks, so they will be happy with a decent profit.

Romano reporting Gnonto keen on Everton.. (sounds like agent talk to me). That’s madness imo, they’ll be in a relegation fight

not very ambitious. he could do far better. Chelsea interested too. how big a squad do they want???

Anyone who chooses to play Dyche ball automatically goes down in my estimation. If we have any sense, we should try to get James Garner as part of the deal.

At least Rodon has been confirmed.

Also can’t understand why you’d want to sign for Chelsea.

It`s like Ive said they go for the money not to improve their chances of playing International football.
Gnonto if he did ask to be left out last night can feck off along with Adams who will warm the bench at Chelsea just like Kalvin is doing.
Shame about Hjelde as I had high hopes of him and Cresswell forming the centre back slots for years to come.
But not many good centre halves make good left backs that I`m aware of.
Gyabi too I thought would do well but he doesn`t do anything when he gets the chance same with Greenwood.
Personally I would play Perkins up front on Saturday
Ayling needs binning along with biscuit bones.
Davis from Everton might be a decent signing.
