A look at the player that traded places with Luis Sinisterra.

Transcript

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.
