Very real chance Leeds are done after Zetterer, Farke turning down every striker suggestion recruitment give him.

Yay. not.

But Farke is heavily involved in transfers and, no doubt, targets. Surely he has suggested to Underwood @ co who he would like?

Lille aren't going to overpay for Fleming, and there are suggestions that the fee will be £17m plus add ons. Surprised it's that low if it's correct. If we don't get a striker then the good early work on Wilson, Trafford and the two defenders becomes a bit of a let down. Teams who don't score enough goals go down.

Teams who can't defend go down. We have a better keeper, defence, and forward line than last season. Yes, we need backups, but we have a far better starting lineup than last year, so I don't understand the talk of relegation. The reality is that, whatever we did in this window, there would always be moaning fans, as there are every window.
We've bought 4-5 players who significantly improve the squad, got rid of some dead wood, and held onto our best players. That's a pretty decent window, in my eyes, and there are still a few days left.

Yep, defence and mf need to be solid and good. Signing Rutter instead of a marquee mf for that record 40m got us relegated, good as he was. We needed to back up Philips with a quality 6/8 first season back in the Prem. Sliding doors. Does Philips even get injured? An Okafor clone, and a real high quality 6/8 beside Ampadu to facilitate a stronger, consistent 5,3,2, establishes this team with a very high ceiling, imo.
Play a false 9 if it comes to it, to the next window. Still think a 9 is coming. Keepers out, keepers in, defenders out, defenders in, Piroe out, someone in.

We may well not get the additional striker we all think we need, but, with respect, LeedsITK, I do not believe you know whether or not Farke is turning down every striker suggestion recruitment gives him.

LeedsITK usually spot on, to be honest. However, I called it, have a feeling we are done now. Money spent.

On Jun 17 TheLeedsITK said "We will be signing Shea Charles, #YouHeardItHereFirst."
Then, on Jun 19 the two of you agreed that "Harry Wilson and Julian Brandt are close to signing" and "Wilson announced next 48 hours."
Two of those things never happened, and the third took 3 weeks rather than 48 hours, so you have to accept that I'm somewhat sceptical of the accuracy of both your claims.
We'll all know the truth by 11pm Tuesday.
