00:00 So, Lee, in the late hours of deadline day, Luis Sinisterra joined Bournemouth and Jay
00:05 Nantzley came the other way. Looking at Anthony, what does he bring to Leeds and what sort
00:10 of have they got there?
00:11 Do you know what, Charles? I think they'll end up with a very, very good player there.
00:14 I think, obviously, there was a lot of disappointment in the way the transfer window ended for Leeds
00:19 with Luis Sinisterra leaving. I mean, you could say Leeds' star player in terms of what
00:23 they had left, the best player potentially. We all know what he's capable of on his day.
00:27 Yes, he has been a bit injury prone and whatnot. But the bottom line is, if players don't want
00:32 to be at the club, then obviously, best off without them, really. I know, obviously, the
00:36 Willy Lonto thing sort of flies in the face of that a little bit. But there was sort of
00:40 legal implications and all sorts with Sinisterra in terms of his contracts and whatever. So,
00:45 Leeds obviously wants to avoid anything with that. And so, that's the way it is. And obviously,
00:50 best off moving on.
00:51 And quite rightly, as part of him going, they wanted to make sure that somebody came in
00:54 to replace him. I think a lot of people feared that Sinisterra might go very, very late on
00:58 and Leeds might end up with nothing in return. But they have got something in return in terms
01:02 of Jadon Antony coming on a season-long loan the other way. And I think he'll be very good
01:06 indeed. I mean, you only have to look through his stats, really. I mean, he played a huge
01:08 part, really, in them going up as Championship runners-up. You look through the stats, he's
01:13 38 of 46 games he started, featured in 45 of them, eight goals and six assists. And that
01:19 was obviously a couple of years ago. And since then, obviously, he's been a Premier League
01:22 player. And it's not like he was on the fringes in the Premier League or anything like that.
01:26 30 games in their first season back, 11 starts, three goals and an assist. So, he's been right
01:32 in the mix. And he started two of their first three games this season. And put simply, he
01:37 should be a very, very good acquisition for Leeds. I mean, probably play on left wing,
01:40 probably either wing. I mean, forward players, you can usually play them anywhere. I mean,
01:44 probably end up playing on one of the flanks, I should think.
01:46 But I think he'll bring a lot to the party. And it's interesting that he was sort of,
01:49 when he finally got up here and he sort of spoke in his first interview, he said himself,
01:52 you know, I'm a much better player now. I'm improved, you know, from the one that went
01:56 up in the Championship. Obviously, I've got the Premier League experience under my belt.
01:59 So obviously, it'd be natural for fans to be disappointed with Sinisterra going. And
02:04 you can't, I don't think you can sort of like say, well, you know, they've got rid of Sinisterra
02:06 and like, you've just got somebody in like for like. But I think Gajaydn Antony a chance.
02:10 I think he's a player coming down from the Premier League that's still young at 23, still
02:13 going to be improving. And I think actually Leeds will find they've probably got themselves
02:16 a very, very good player there. And Daniel Farker said in his post-match presser after
02:20 the game actually against Sheff Wensley that he thought Gajaydn Antony would play a big
02:24 part for Leeds coming up and stuff. But I suspect he'll be a very, very good acquisition.
