Graham Smyth explains the process behind Leeds' Guilavogui capture

Transcript

00:00It would be really interesting to know all the ins and outs of the situation and who

00:12else visited Thorparch.

00:14I don't believe there was a succession of trialists.

00:17I don't believe that there was the medicals going on that were being reported here, there

00:21and everywhere.

00:22And I certainly don't think it was like a conveyor belt of free agents coming in a couple

00:28of days at a time to trial.

00:31I imagine that they've been looking at him since the start.

00:36They definitely looked at Kouyaté and Coquelin was another name that was mentioned but he

00:40was never invited to Thorparch.

00:43But even right back at the start of October when this started to become a possibility

00:48or whenever it was, first week, second week of October, if someone had said at that point

00:56they could get him, then I think Leeds probably would have been very keen.

01:00I don't get the feeling that this was a second or third choice.

01:05You get the feeling that he was a very serious option and they do feel like they've done

01:11well to get him.
