It’s been a topsy-turvy few weeks for Daniel Farke at Leeds United, but at least the German can start welcoming new signings to the club rather than seeing more and more first-team staff decide to leave the Elland Road outfit.
The all whites have been through a real transitional period since the start of pre-season due in part to having both a new manager and new ownership, 49ers Enterprises.
Whatever their modus operandi is, it’s likely that cost savings being made would’ve been high on the agenda given a drop down into the English Championship.
This time next week, the transfer window soap opera will all be over for another few months at least, and only then will Farke know exactly which staff members he can call upon to help his side build up a head of steam and drive them towards the top of the table.
There’s still a few days for the make up of his squad to change, and to that end, The Athletic (subscription required) are reporting that Genk’s Joseph Paintsil has told his club his preference is a move to Elland Road, after previously turning down a swap deal to Southampton.
It isn’t clear if Farke is in for the player or if this is a ‘come and get me’ plea. Either way, a deal has to be concluded by Friday night.
Still lacking quantity and quality, how can players who were guilty of getting us relegated, dictate to Leeds they want out and refuse to play, must be a legal thing no play no pay? 🤔
Glad it is settled over tiraMisu thing. If he is so tippy turvy in what he does we can’t trust him to be fully committed.
Good to see Prior will be playing today. Could not get my head round why he should need international paperwork to hallowed to play! Is Wales not a part of the British Isles anymore?
Of by having Piroe as part of the team is a new start is it not time that Bamford was moved on! Yes I know he has been excellent for us but now he spends more time on sick bay than on the pitch surely he is earning a wage that could be paid to someone who can do a good job for us AND stay fit!
still need couple more and then goodbye peg leg when did he really last play … getting easy money for 2 yrs bamford england call up then doesnt ever play again … and good bye to last years waste of space … earn good money to much give back nothing
lets hope we get at least 2 of the players talked about then we can look forward to a great season
