Wilfried Gnonto was the gem Leeds found in their own transfer rubble. Man Utd landed on a phenomenal Plan B and even snatched a priority target from Arsenal. Sometimes the back-ups are better.
Leeds set the bar for hilarious ineptitude awfully high during summer 2014’s transfer deadline day. ‘Don’t go to bed just yet,’ came the teasing tweet from their official account at 9.49pm. With confirmation of Matt Smith and Dominic Poleon’s departures subsequently trickling through, supporters were given the green light to hit the hay by 11pm.Andrea Radrizzani seemed to make a similar mistake
It s all good Ollie 🙂 . Part of the madness of deadline day. We have been screwed up , it happens even to the best ones. We have done a great market, planned and executed our targets at very early stage. Keep going 💪The £10m move Leeds had put in place for Dieng soon collapsed, while Cody Gakpo remained at PSV. The former failed a medical at Nice, stayed at Marseille to score one Ligue Un goal in 10 appearances and then joined FC Lorient on loan in January.
Zinchenko and Lisandro Martinez might not sound particularly interchangeable but circumstances alone have made that a curious comparison. While Man Utd have extracted the absolute best out of the Argentina international at centre-half, Arsenal had a different plan in mind. They viewed versatility as his primary asset as a sort of hybrid left-back and central midfielder.
The Marko Arnautovic links were bad enough, yet the midfield situation arguably trumped it for apparent incompetence. Man Utd fluttered their eyelashes at an uninterested Frenkie De Jong for months, then even flicked through their discarded transfer playbooks and landed on the name of Sergej Milinkovic-Savic for a time. But their Adrien Rabiot mid-market crisis was a damning indictment on a club without direction.
