We’re delighted to welcome former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson as our exclusive columnist as each week he’ll be giving his views on the biggest talking points at Leeds United.
Paul Robinson has insisted that Leeds United may be forced into the January transfer market if Wilfried Gnonto pushes to leave the club again.
It comes after Phil Hay reported on 21 December that the Italian international was considering a change of agents amid growing speculation about his future.
The Sky Sports pundit admitted that it is hard to read into news such as that with many different reasons behind a potential change, with his summer demand to leave still fresh in the memory.
“It’s hard to read into that,” he exclusively told MOT Leeds News.
“People change agents for different reasons, agents don’t just look after you on the playing side, they look after you on the financial side, they look after your personal situations and finances.
“There may be many different reasons why you want to leave an agent, whether you put two and two together and read into it, whether he is trying to get a move.
“It was well documented that he was trying to get a move in the summer, and with him not starting games, that will probably rear its head in January, Farke then has a decision to make whether the squad can cope without him.
“Is he going to use him as an impact player between now and the end of the season? If they lose Dan James, Summerville, and Piroe, who have they got other than Gnonto?
“I think the manager will want to keep him until the end of the season, but if he tries to force through a move that may then force Leeds into the transfer market.”
In other Leeds United news, Farke has axed one player from the squad altogether despite him being available.
