Following on from Ben post below.
Think Rodon needs to understand his spurs days are over. Not to say another prem team might attract him and that could include us.
I'm fully expecting Anthony to be called back and at present I'm not too unhappy with that. Done ok but not a buy for me, yet.
As others have said. We have a lot of young talent waiting in the wings. got to blood then at some point. 4-0 at half time possibly was a good time.
Really no point keeping ayling or coop. They have done their bit for Leeds and we are thankful. Shift in jan.
Amps and kamara need to step up as leaders of the future.
To be honest I wouldn't have anybody on the bench who we wouldn't keep next season.
Our starting 11 are good enough to push on if not meddled with. Add spense when back.
Coops bam ayling firpo. Also been disappointed with gnonto thus far. He strangely did better in prem than champ. Might be too tough and rough for him. He has Nowhere near the threat of Dj and Jimmy.

Wouldn’t disagree with any of that.

Gnonto imo playing well within himself . still wants a move imo
. growing problem for him without good performances not sure many if any teams will want to buy him at prices LUFC would accept as good enough to even consider.
He therefore needs to step it up on pitch!

Bamford contract ends in 2025/ 26 . no clubs will be looking to sign or loan him imo
Coops and Ayling will go at end of contract ( end of this season )
Firpo ugh . will he be fit enough for a Jan loan move . one of worst signings ever imo.

Gnonto needs to be knuckling down and producing his best if he wants to be in the Italian Euros team.
I think he has no time to flounce around. If he doesn't start put good performances in he will miss out.
It might be he's just finding his fitness after injury.
To be fair cree and james are not letting him in at the moment.

'Flounce around ' interesting description Ben
For me Gnonto needs to get out of stroll, saunter, amble mode
and actually start running at pace taking on defenders.
31 Oct 2023 20:21:27
Agree 100%.

My real worry, in all you have said, Aus is the futures of Amps, Rodon and possibly Spence come next summer if some of the bigboys come sniffing around.

Flouncing is what Italians do best baz.
It is in gnontos best interests to perform. It is why he wanted to move in the summer. To stay on the international map.

This was always likely to be the issue with Gnonto. He played well for a handful of games when first introduced but young players are inconsistent and those games flattered to deceive. He has talent but needs regular game time to build consistency and develop his best game. Problem is fans always want immediate success so when they see a handful of decent traits suddenly they expect a fully developed player when its just not realistic.

Consistency?
Or perhape more accurately deliberately playing within himself, a downturn somewhat in desire and effort first and foremost.
The guy has stopped running ( at pace ) .
