Will Sinisterra still be a Leeds player after the transfer deadline?
Transcript
00:00 What is the YEP's understanding of the Sinisterra situation, potential loans, because we've
00:04 seen him linked with the likes of Brentford and Finord and all that sort of thing.
00:10 Even though Daniel Farker spoke with quite a lot of almost certainty, he couldn't guarantee
00:16 anything because nobody can guarantee anything in a transfer window, not when, you know,
00:21 sidees are chucking 50, 100 million around.
00:26 I'm not saying that that's the case here, but the things to remember in the Sinisterra
00:30 case is that he had a clause.
00:33 Leeds believed that the clause has expired, but it's never felt to me like Leeds have
00:36 been certain that he will still be here come Saturday.
00:41 I'm still not getting the sense from Leeds.
00:44 Nobody is saying Sinisterra will be here.
00:47 I'm getting a big sense of them doing all they can to keep Sinisterra and to convince
00:53 Sinisterra to be at Leeds.
00:55 For Sinisterra's career, he might see it as a wasted year.
00:59 I don't know.
01:00 We've not heard from the players' camp.
01:02 This is me surmising, but I think what Leeds will have to do, if Sinisterra is to go somewhere,
01:09 Leeds will have to explain the situation that led to him going.
01:13 At the moment, all we can work off is this sense that they're not altogether concrete
01:18 on him staying at Leeds.
01:20 If he was to go, I'm convinced that Leeds would bring another in.
01:25 So I don't think they'll leave themselves short there.
01:27 It would be a bitter blow because the prospect of him playing in the Championship is tantalising,
01:31 isn't it?
01:32 It's like on Football Manager when you get a player that you should never really get
01:35 for your club and you can't really believe it.
01:38 The other thing to remember in all of this is that Sinisterra, like the others, had a
01:46 big, big wage reduction.
01:48 So he'll be playing on, I don't know, half, 60% of the wages that he would have been getting
01:53 last year in the Prem and that he could get if he went to a Premier League club or somewhere
01:59 else.
02:01 So let's wait and see what happens on the Sinisterra one.
02:04 At the minute, there's not a great deal of clarity, so there's not a great deal we can
02:06 say on it.
02:08 But it just feels like something could still crop up there because we're not getting a
02:14 solid concrete.
02:16 definitely staying at Allen Road.
