Gnonto was their brightest player every time I watched them play. Believe he would be an excellent signing. Could be used as a spark off the bench or as a starter in the Bailey role. To add, I would very much welcome Gnonto at Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philosopher Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 3 hours ago, Indigo said: Young won three quarters of his duals that night while Gnonto only managed a third of his. You'd imagine a large portion of those were against one another so it's fair to say Young got the better of things. Well Gnonto was the only real threat from Leeds that night. He did indeed beat Young to set up a goal. Had that goal been the winner we'd be saying Gnonto done Ash! It's all a matter of perspective really. I was very impressed with Gnonto's dribbling abilty, with his low centre of gravity. He had Ash twisting left, right and all over the place. Lucky the rest of their front line with rubbish that day, because they had us under a lot of pressure for long periods, and Gnonto was the only real threat. Young had a tough day at the office, but stuck in there and used all his experience to fend Gnonto off. For me Young got a close majority decision in that one. But only just. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrhaneen Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 I’m surrounded by Leeds fans at work and they all think Gnonto is clearly a class apart from the rest of their squad. He hardly started a game though towards the end of the season when they really needed something so they figure it must have been either the new manager didn’t trust him, or he’s maybe got a bad attitude. Whatever it was they couldn’t believe he couldn’t get a game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Legit question. If it’s between us and Everton. (Although it probably isn’t). Why on earth would he choose Everton? The clubs a mess and will most likely be in another relegation battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My post was just off the back of the debate of who got the better of things on balance, wasn't a comment on Gnonto's ability or agreeing with the notion that he got "schooled" by Young as it may have been lumped in with I think both things can be the case that Gnonto showed he's a great prospect and was extremely dangerous that night, and also that despite this Young largely dealt with him fantastically. At least that's how it came across to me at VP that night, was a performance of Young's that stuck with me in terms of showing he still had it despite his age. Saying that I think he was poor for the goal more so than Gnonto skinning him or anything, he kind of lazily tried to win a foul rather than properly challenge the ball and the ref wasn't having it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMitch Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Gnonto? Great... Someone who makes Tommy Elphick look like Paul Bunyan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Am I being sceptical? or are we being linked with players, we are not interested in, so the naysayers can claim, we have been turned down. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
