Fra Graham Smyht:
Leeds say that in the event of relegation they will try their damndest to keep the likes of Tyler Adams, Willy Gnonto and Max Wober. With Adams I suppose it’s a case of reassuring him that a decent enough team will be built around him to ensure this is a one-year Championship detour. As for Gnonto, if his agent is not sounding out Serie A clubs I would be astounded. He’s Premier League ready, so he’s more than good enough for one of the other European top flights. The conversation there might need to guarantee game time and a high degree of importance at the club, as a player who could tear the second tier apart. Let’s see, on that one. His best mate Crysencio Summerville would be a very good option in the Championship and yet I’d also expect his agent to be casting around to see if there’s a better deal to be had at a higher level. If Summerville was to go, would Gnonto want to also? They are joint at the hip after all.
Wober is one I could see staying on and bringing leadership and quality to the back line. Beyond those three, there would have to be cast-iron arguments for keeping players, both in the financial and footballing sense.
