Must admit to having similar thoughts - Mancini clearly rates him quite highly.
Be very interesting to see his next move and at what price, but it wont be us if he wants to protect his international career.
I would be shocked if he didnt have some kinda of relegation release clause.
seems to be conflicting reports as to whether or not he has one , but as I said I highly doubt a player like him join leeds without having one inserted
I think it depends on which premise you start from.
If you start out thinking he;'s a world beater then it all seems very confusing, doesnt add up.
If you start from the premise that he's not that good, then there are some questions (why playing for Italy), but it makes more sense.
I've always thought he's too small to really make it at top level but admitted that some early performances for us were great.
neville raved about him but then wasnt everyone raving about Aarsonson?
Sometimes the commentators just get a glimpse of someone and it's a false impression.
I'm really not that bothered if he leaves but he is a conundrum as I dont think either premise is correct, I think he's an ok player who for whatever reason sticks outa a bit, if that makes sense.
Were people raving about Aaronson?
I myself was fooled by willy. Maybe in the right team he could show the flashes we saw more often but we were the worst team in the league coached by the worst manager.
This year isn't starting out any better.
Hope we don't do the double relegation.
You must be blind if you dont see a good player. Bes still only 19 is what people seem to forget. Still plenty to learn. The size thing is ridiculous. He's pretty strong. Messi isnt six foot. Dont get that size issue thing

We was worse than saints 🤷🏻♂️
We had a good but very imbalanced squad, with a not very good manager. Disgrace how we went down.
Double relegation !!!
Come on, in a great position to go straight back up, next two will be vital, but there will be movement now.
LiW, Don't see how were in a great position to go straight back up. we don't know whose on the team.

Its always like that at this stage, players are always going in after 1st of july.
Yes, this season, there going to be alot more movement than normal, and that is a disadvantage.
But the finances of the championship, is really poor at the minute.
Three teams going down have got that much financial advantage, this time, I think its really unfair.
We’ll be fine and will get promotion.
Lots of players came to us not caring whether we went down or not and that is the travesty of bringing in foreign players who could be playing anywhere and don't give a damn about the club because they can just walk if we do go down.
Koch, Adams, Roca, Aaronson, Rodrigo, Kristiensen not one of them has the integrity to say, you know what, I love it at Leeds, I was, in part, responsible for why they went down and I want to stay to try and turn things around.
I hope Gnonto is different but if he wants to go, he can p!ss off with the rest of them.
We deserve better than this.
and yes I know, the club will want some of these guys off the books for financial reasons, but still.

Blame the club, not the players.

so you willing to accept that its too early to predict you going back up but not too early to predict your downfall ?!?!
He's getting caps for Italy because he is a high potential player. It's never been about the ability that he is currently showing. I doubt being in the championship would effect things, as he was capped whilst playing in Switzerland.
The guys clearly got something about him, but he needs to show it more regularly. Think championship could be the making of him, so would be disappointed if he left.
The size comment was laughable. Football isn't tennis. You don't need to be 6'2+ to be able to compete.
farke needs to talk to him about being a major star at er for the next few seasons, hope he stays

Yes he's strong, but there is no comparison with Messi.
He's short, its a fact, and most players who are successful are taller, these are just facts.
Brighton would want 60 for Gnonto. They want 85 for Caiceido yet we'll entertain 30 for both.

Can you remember when you last thought we've done well there on a transfer (in or out)? Even Gnonto at £4m at the time seemed liked a waste of money.

We're waiting for a better run club now, so no reasons to think we'll go down!..
Mind, we play your football manager with your rules than we might have to try a little harder!..
He doesn't play as a number 9 so his height isnt really a disadvantage. Hernandez, Strachan, Bremner, Wallace. Weve had loads of decent short assed players 😀
Pele 5’ 8”
Messi 5’ 4”
Maradona 5’ 5”
Three of the best that ever lived.
Billy Bremner 5’ 5”
Brian Flynn, 5'3", along with a few off our smaller players one off my favorites!..
