    Gnonto back and hearing same for Sinisterra.

    Now if this is true, then the reality is that today we managed to sign 2 very good players who should cause some real damage in this league. However we still need a striker, an AM a LB.

    Sinisterra hasnt done what Gnonto did so if he’s back in the fold we have a £30m player. I hate what Gnonto has done but maybe he has been badly advised by an idiot agent. Love to find out what he’s been promised though

    After Max Aarons I won’t believe it until they’re holding the shirt above their head.

    I’d like to think he is a young lad who probably hasn’t had to think for himself once his agent realised the talent he had on his hands, so Gnonto probably followed the agent’s advice without question. So if he ends up staying we’d be cutting our noses off not to use him. Of course he might have just watched Everton and thought **** that <laugh>

    Young people make bad decisions i know i did. Him and the sinner were traing seperate i heard. They both did pre season and were avaliable first game?. Harrison was injured then suddenly sprang to life and ran off to liverpool docks.
    The thing is they have a contract which no club has been willing to buy out at Leeds valuations. So get them fit again and use them.who could we have signed as good as these two can be. For me the slowest was Harrison and he jumped the prickk. Now we need a striker and mid and left back. Not so bad now is it <cheers>

    No point judging Gnonto being back yet. If he comes back in and knuckles down giving his all on the pitch then eventually he will be forgiven.

    If he just looks like he is phoning in his performances then a. Farke will soon eff him off out the squad & b. The fans will soon let him know whether he is welcome.


    If he comes back Saturday or the next match and he is the Gnonto we saw when he first started playing I think most fans will have a short memory.


    We all remember being 19/20 yrs old. How many of us were really known for making the best decisions? And we weren't being advised by a greedy agent showing us million pounds promises

    Leeds Utd have announced the signings of Wilfred Gnonto and Luis Sinisterra on 4 year deals.

    More to follow...

    Reading that Summerville has stated he’s staying, is big mates with Gnonto I believe so maybe talked some sense into him. Also read that now the clause gang has gone the club are more in control. Apparently the board were influenced by what Southampton got for Lavia and wanted similar for Gnonto. Brentford according to talkSPORT wanted Sini on loan but told a permanent signing for money only, Club finally back in control.

    Haa a couple of people have stated, if Sini and Gnonto are staying then it is like two new signings.

    They deserve any boos they get at the start for my next point. Imagine the results against Birmingham or WBA if we had been able to play either or both? Get Summerville and poveda fit and suddenly the squad is looking a damn sight healthier

    Summerville and Sinisterra were teammates back in Holland. We now have a shy load of wingers again…

    They still might go but at least for decent money. Brentford were trying to take the piss. As for Gnonto, he now knows other clubs don’t value him as highly as he does <cheers>

    I hope he has seen the error of his ways and knuckles down. As others have said, he's young, naive, envied others who were able to jump ship, and more than likely had his agent giving him really **** advice.

    I hope, if/when he does play, he's not greeted by a chorus of boos. That said, if he doesn't knuckle down and still plays up then he's a **** and will deserve all the grief that comes his way.

    We all make errors of judgement in life as the better half keeps reminding me she said she wishes they had moved onto the other boozer 5 minutes earlier <whistle>.....gnonto had better wise up and get himself less of a knob of an agent to handle him and concentrate on the thing that is going to probably make him a rich man, namely the ****ing ball....him and cry are big mates and if they knuckle down to it they and sini should be making hay in this league and providing the fans with what they pay money for ENTERTAINMENT not petulant sulking and I'm orf everytime they feel hard done by.....you are fortunate young men so stop being dicks, plenty of time for the Saudi league ;)

    I heard it said that his agent doesn’t have many high profile players like Gnonto and he’s only high profile because of us and Mancini. His agent has just done the same thing with his other top player to force a move which gives him a pay rise. Hopefully Gnonto changes agents
