Jean-Matteo Bahoya

[Cjay]

Bit of pr going on from the club's here

We said option, they say obligation

Presumably technically an option but really easily achievable so we can sell it as an option and they can sell it as a obligation

[1964white]

Surely no one could claim with a straight face Dan James and Aaronson are better players than Gnonto. . . . .

Maybe more effective in Farke's set-up.

James was brilliant in our championship season, Brenden was decent too.

[SG90]

Oh my, I'm actually impressed. Loan with an option to buy, not obligation. Have our negotiation skills improved or what?

Meanwhile over at Everton, Kinnear is getting pelters

Such an arrogant man.

That's new, all sources reporting a 30M obligation to buy

[SG90]

We'll see I guess

Mckennie was also listed as an "obligation to buy" and that obviously didn't happen

BBC are saying option for £19.7m, obviously miles off €30m

But we know how it'll play out. If he does well, they'll say there's no agreement

[SG90]

So glad we've ended up with Bahoya and not Mudryk 49ers masterclass

This guy has not come here to sit on the bench! He plays Central Attacking Midfielder. As a #10 if you will. He may not have the brain of a #10 yet but I bet he will frighten other teams. Could be the buy-of-the-season...

He looks more left sided, similar to Okafor

Likely something based on if he plays a certain amount of games. Similar to Harvey Elliot when he went to Villa. I think it was that if he started 10 matches then the deal became permanent. Villa then played him for 9 games but weren't impressed enough to want to buy him so stopped selecting him.

As such I think that is excellent. If we like him we play him and sign him. If we don't think he is good enough then we simply stop playing him.

If we'd signed JKA with this clause then we wouldn't have been obligated to buy him and all that entailed.

I think we have done similar with Ramizanni's loan move to Burnley.

[weasel]

I think the point Faaip is making is he (Gnonto) has a higher ceiling than them?

Which he does imo.

Considering his age Gnonto has all the time in the world to fulfil his obvious potential.

It only appears that way because Gnonto is considerably shorter.

Yeah I've no issue with it.

It's probably basically an obligation in all but name but with a few little clauses making it legally not

This lads pretty tall incidentally , 5ft11.

Hadn't realised that

[pjm2019]

You could have them

Do some gardening for you or something

More use than they'd be on the football pitch.

Rejoice that you will be seeing Both James & Aaronson in a Leeds shirt this season but not your Gnonto

[SG90]

I just watched a YouTube video and he looked like Rutter but with Usain Bolt pace. Dare I say it, but a bit Olise too. Obviously still a bit raw, but if we get him permanently, he could turn into a £100m player. I just hope Farke plays him and doesn't just favour James and Aaronson because they were here first.

[The Subhuman]

Inverted left winger who can play AMF centrally, exactly like Okafor..

[whiteinfrance]

Bit of a gamble I think

Could be really good or quite bad.

Will have to wait and see

He won't favour James.... Aaronson is possible, I still don't understand how he gets so much game time

I think with the addition of Bahoya, a healthy Okafor, and Wilson rounding into form James and Aaronson will be used more as subs.

Imagine being a defender who has been run around the pitch by Bahoya for 70 minutes and looking up to see a fresh Dan James or Brenden Aaronson coming on.
