So it appears that Suzuki has said no to Leeds, and we’ve apparently moved on from Shae Charles.

Keita looks like a big strong combative midfielder, does that mean we push Stach into the 8/ 10 role and have Keita and Amps as defensive midfielders?

Keeper wise, I think it’s always dangerous signing any player on the back of a WC, I wouldn’t deal with Man C for Trafford either as they will screw anyone in a deal.



There are loads of keepers out there and cheaper.

It’s a little concerning that despite the club stating this window will focus on the attack, we’ve barely been linked to any attackers except HW and Brandt (Brandt I’d swerve) .
We need players we can have big sell on value on.
We need
2 x CB
1 x LB
1 x Keeper
1 x midfielder
1 x ATM
1 x 9

Time to get busy as well as clearing the decks!

Hate to say, but I can't see that happening, Dave. I fully agree, btw, but this has the same feeling as last year. We will get players, but not who we expect, and it will again be very late on in the window, but I may be totally wrong, I hope.

Admire your optimism, Dave, but I see us getting 5 max. CB situation depends on whether Bornauw stays or goes; if he stays, we'll only get one to fill the Pascal slot. Keeper depends on what Darlow decides. Midfield: nothing likely except an AM (Brandt or another) .



Hopefully we'll at least get:
1x CB to replace PS
LWB backup for Gabby
AM/No 10
Striker to supplement DCL and Nmecha
Resolve GK situation.

And also hopefully lose:
Harrison, Schmidt, Wober, Gelhardt, Piroe.

Yep, 5 signings max imo.

And the positions to which JR lists.

Currently, Leeds Utd have signed no one (officially, at least) , and more than 3 weeks of the window have already elapsed.

Added to that, Leeds' current recruitment team tend to do at best one incoming signing a week.

And there's now less than 8 weeks remaining of the window.

Bri, we actually made a lot of early signings last year, so don't always leave it late.

As far as I am aware, we never put in any bids for Suzuki, so all the noise was likely made up - probably by the player's agent to get some interest.



As I said before, I get the feeling that if Darlow signs, we won't bring in another keeper unless it's a real bargain and £30m does not fit that criteria.

I'm pretty certain we will not be paying 30 Mil for a goalkeeper and like Alf said there's been no contract concerning Suzuki.
In my opinion, Darlow is not the best keeper we've had and does have his faults. I think the club should keep him if he wants to stay.

We have offered him a contract, OP, so the ball is in his court. Apparently, the club are a bit miffed he hasnt signed already.
