    Good afternoon from swaledale. A few days away as and plenty of vino to forget. Wakey afc contunued their march up the table with a four nil away thumping of doncaster side Armthorpe. There was even a punch up with wakeys key defender sent off. Never mind we have another ready to slot in and guess what he is left sided. Derby day next saturday v horbury.

    Lots of media types saying Gnonto walked straight down the tunnel at full time instead of greeting the fans. Maybe it’s time the little fooker did do one. The fans have put up with a lot from him this summer and it looks like he’s too good for Leeds (in his head) make some big money on in January please, we still have Dan James, wee Jimmy, Poveda and Anthony, not forgetting DJed Spence can rip up the wings

    It's a double edged sword with the loaned out, no way back for any of them
    Want them all to struggle but then their value decreases and we lose out financially.
    Roma fans want to send Kristensen back already it seems

    Supposing no one wants to buy them anyway? We'll have a massive squad costing a fortune. Guess we will be giving them away to any takers apart from 3 players

    It depends on their wages, if we get promoted without them then they really should forfeit a promotion bonus or increase

    Good to see that we have stopped Archie from joining England U19s and betting that his dad and his agent who are both Leeds fans were involved in the discussion

    Hayden Evans is a season ticket holder as well as an agent for Archie, Charlie Cresswell and Shackelton as well as a few more kids in the academy

    I keep asking myself, what's going on with Bournemouth and Leeds. We went for Iraola, didn't get him, and he ends up at Bournemouth. We're about to sign Max Aarons, Bournemouth sabotage the deal and take him. Adams tells the 49ers he'll stay and try get us promoted, 24 hours later Bournemouth turn his head and off he goes. And Friday night they seem to be the only club that knows about a legal issue with Sini and they get him for free, basically. Do they have an inside man at Leeds? How on earth are a tiny club like that managing to scupper Leeds so many times in such a short timeframe?

    Dude don’t forget they also tried to sign Bielsa oh and so did Everton <laugh> The main problem with Bournemouth in reality is that they have a new yank owner who is determined to keep them in the prem and it looks like they have a scouting team that read NewsNow Leeds site for tips

    There was a moment in an earlier game this season. A cross to Ayling who headed it on to Gnonto, who met it first time and just missed the top corner.

    Almost a great shot but what I noticed most - he did not acknowledge Ayling setting him up in any way.

    That told me - either he’s a **** or there’s bad blood around. Or both.

    Deffo something not right with him and in my view we should sell. He was great when we rescued him from the Swiss pub team league. He was a breath of fresh air, but he was hardly used by our last 3 coaches. He is a nasty little fk when things don’t go his way, and he likes to leave a boot in and cause arguments and moan at refs. He has an attitude problem and obviously now thinks he’s too good for this league

    But he is only 19 and this is where good coaches step in. He is probably still smarting from a failed move, he has time with the International break to get it out of his system, let's see if Farke can turn him around and if he can he is going to be very valuable to us even if it is until January.

    I personally feel we have a better player in Anthony so let's get the most out of him for a few weeks and allow Farke to review in the new year

    The only problem with the international break is that he mixes with his countrymen who are star players on stars wages…… easy getting his head turned and maybe his form died after the last break?

    I don’t like his attitude, don’t like that he wanted to jump ship and then downed tools when he couldn’t. I can cut him a tiny bit of slack due to his age, and likely influence of his agent.

    But a couple of positives for me, which I don’t think any of our other forwards possess is the ability to kill the long ball-in his stride, however it’s played to him. The other is he hits the byline time and again, something none of our other wingers do. If used correctly, provided he applies himself he’s still an asset.

    **** Gnonto.

    Sell him for an inflated panic price to Everton when they are bottom in January.
