Wilfried Gnonto

Uh, but my bigger fancy, and this is part of the da- second park- part of the Daily Double, is without, uh, Lautaro Martinez, who's out for Inter here, uh, Marcus Thuram really should be the main man for Inter.

I think Pio Esposito's gonna be on the bench here, and, uh, Wilfried Gnonto's gonna be coming in, which really, I think, fortifies Thuram as the main scoring threat here.

And, uh, with the goal expectancy for Inter alone around 2.8 here, you kind of, the odds would suggest he'll get on the score sheet.

I think he'll be champing at the bit as well.

Yeah.

Like, when Willy Gnonto was on the bench last year, everyone was like, "Give Willy more time.

Willy need..." And I like Willy Gnonto, but it's always the player that's not there that's the solution to the issues they've got on the pitch.

Oh, yeah.

Same as McTominay when he wasn't there.

Um, they hire Grosso.

They didn't actually have the attacking wingers, so on deadline day they bought Gnonto and they bought Pedro Goncalves.

But again, it's the same thing we said for Woltemade at Juventus.

When you sign those types of players on deadline day, you don't sign them because of a project.

I

just wanted to ask about Galway.

He's obviously...

Obviously you struggled a bit with injuries at the start of the season, but what do you make of his performances so far?

Oh.

Um, [chuckles] 5'7" Willy Gnonto and 5'8" Dan James on the wings.

Um-

[laughs]

I'm not too sure if he's ready for this standard yet, but, you know, who's to say if he has a solid season that he can't build on that going forward.

So, yeah, there's players, but like you say, Nyonto is one of those that we're kind of secretly, you know, fans of in terms of we can see the potential there, but it just needs to be consistent, right? That's the key.

Yeah.

yeah i think he's a profile of player that italy don't really have and that's why i want to see him do really well because he seems like a nice guy and you know he's never upset me right i hope he does well but like i think italy could have such a unique profile of player there if if he gets that level if he gets his phone back i won't say he will i'm just hoping he does because it would be such a threat coming off the bench or whatever like and i do think the quality is there it's just his career hasn't really panned out or any of us thought it might by this point um but let's go super long term and I'm kind of throwing this at you which of these young players that have been brought into the squad do you think will be at the next Euros should Italy make it are there any that you think okay I think they're definitely going to be in that squad

[gentle music]

In today's Leeds news, Gnonto's starting hope, Gabriel's form bodes well for Leeds.

January could decide Sean Longstaff's future, and Joe Roland likely return dates.

[upbeat music] Welcome Wallace.

So you can check all that out over this weekend as well.

Before we get back into next week, and we're just about ready to get back into football at a little club level next week.

But we'll start off today's news around one of our loanees that are out, and it's Willy Gnonto.

So Willy Gnonto might be about to get his first league start for Fiorentina due to some international scheduling conflicts from teammate Franco Mastantuono.

Even if he's, like, 95% fit, I'd, I still think you bring him off the bench and just ease him back.

And I'm thinking Barcola right, Koumas nine, Wirtz from the left and Dom in the 10 with Gnonto and Mac Allister in the double pivot, and I think that gives us our best chance to really press and harass that City defense who have given up a number of turnovers in that defensive third so far this season and do look a little bit susceptible to kinda overplaying or getting sloppy in there.

I agree that we should...

Well, we'll probably try to, we'll have to try and be aggressive in that game, and especially in that area of the pitch.
