Are Willy Gnonto and Crysencio Summerville irreplaceable at Leeds United?

Transcript

00:00Somerville signed for what one, one and a half million, you know, you could probably

00:04sell him for 25 this summer and Nianto again signed for what was it three-ish, three, four-ish

00:11rising to potentially 10.

00:15Again I think it's probably unlikely that you at least have paid all of that 10 because

00:19usually those incremental payments come over the length of a contract and he's only been

00:24here two summers, two years.

00:27You make a quite considerable profit on your balance sheet from those two players alone

00:35which again really helps from a P&S standpoint.

00:40So yeah I think you could see that and again it's not like they're Rafinha.

00:46You know Rafinha was genuinely an irreplaceable talent.

00:51It's not as though Somerville and Nianto are irreplaceable, now don't get me wrong they're

00:56incredibly talented footballers and they've made a huge difference this past season but

01:02as you say when you have someone like Dan James who did get 13 goals and I mean demonstrated

01:10in that playoff final that he does have at this level against the best teams the ability

01:15to change a game on his own or at least influence a game.

01:19I've got enough faith in the recruitment department at Leeds that they would be able to identify

01:25some players that could certainly pick up the slack if the likes of Somerville and Nianto were sold.
