Good Morning. It's Monday 12th September, and these are the latest headline from Elland Road AC Milan plot Sinisterra capture Various media outlets are reporting that Luis Sinisterra has already caught the eye of Italian giants AC Milan. The £21.4m Summer signing has already proved that stepping up from the Eredivisie League to be no problem, having already netted twice in 180 minutes of game time. Milan are looking for a possible replacement for Rafael Leao, who was strongly linked with a move to Stamford Bridge in the Summer. Although no deal could be reached, it is expected that the Blues will try again in January. With goals hard to come by in recent times, Leeds will (hopefully) be desperate to keep hold of the Columbian International. Leeds missed out on Charles de Ketelaere, opting to secure a move to the San Siro; it would be a slap in the face if Milan pinched Sinisterra. please log in to view this image Gnonto could end up being the bargain of the Summer Former Striker, now Ambassador for the Leeds Utd Foundation (LUFC's Community Charity) Noel Whelan has spoken of his excitement following the signing of 18yo Italian International forward Wilfried Gnonto. The former Inter Milan Academy player penned a five-year deal at Elland Road, in the dying minutes of the transfer window, becoming their ninth and final Summer signing. While Jesse Marsch has been careful not to heap too much pressure on Gnonto, labelling him a long term project, Whelan believes he could end up being the bargain of the season. “The fact that he’s a full Italy international just shows how highly he’s rated. “Leeds United went in for him, he’s 18 years old – it seems like he could be a real bargain, perhaps even the bargain of the season. From what people are saying on the training ground, he’s very bright, lively, strong, quick. He could be good value for a few goals in the first team this season.” please log in to view this image Leeds make top 20 most valuable clubs in the World Forbes, the American business magazine, famed for their rich and famous lists, have placed Leeds in the top 20 most valuable football clubs in the world.

Will Gnonto get in the first team squad for the next game, or will he be another youngster that has their development delayed by our sluggish approach to getting our first team frontline firing.
On the Sinister thing, his situation needsto be carefully managed. Just give him about same amount of game time as Joffy and hell be unlikely to impress anyone so well be able to hold onto him
Fk VAR hello all SINISTERRA Milan don't have the money to buy him in January ... if they do decide to make a run at him, expect Leeds to go "give us £20m plus de Ketelaere" ... that's the only way I can see a deal being done ... CDK has a lot of competition at Milan, so they may decide it's worth slinging him into a package deal if they want Sinisterra that badly GNONTO What a superb piece of business by Leeds ... it's not just the fact that he's already been capped 4 times by Italy, but that Mancini felt he was good enough to be thrown in against England and Germany ... this kid is a smaller version of Yeboah, he's got pace and power and isn't afraid to run at defenders ... I expect to see him in the senior squad sooner rather than later MONEY MONEY MONEY Leeds making top 20 most valuable clubs isn't a surprise with its global fanbase ... would be higher, but 16 years behind in terms of Prem and Euro money so still catching up ... fantastic to see that the club is debt free which makes a change ... Citeh and Chelsea are only debt free because their owners were happy to write off the billions they loaned to the clubs ... same will happen at Toon where Saudis will write off any cash pumped into the club Football is becoming a bit ridiculous now, specially at Prem level ... Forest have signed something like 24 players, and if they go down they will have a big problem ... thing is, their owner also owns Olympiakos in Greece, so he will simply sell and loan players to them to offset any losses just like Watford do with Udinese thanks for a decent debate Elland, appreciated
Talksport are now saying us against scum is far from guaranteed to go ahead on Sunday citing big police presence would be needed for bitter rivals ...... whatever do they mean ............
How many cops do they need in London on Sunday when the fooking Funeral is on Monday. Can they not police the game and then send to cop down the M6 on Sunday night. Fecking Joke.
when bin dippers are in the Capital , they morph into fingers of superglue, if its not screwed down it sticks to their fingers.
Any game outside London looks like it's going to get Postponed. Seriously where are they going to fit in last weekend's game and the ones this weekend when FIFA slammed the WC n the Run Up to Christmas?
Think of the fixture congestion for the clubs in europe and still in the cups. We could really benefit from that. Let's face it the league is our priority. More time to get players fit what's not to like.
