It’s sure to be another busy transfer window for Leeds, with defender, Max Wober, expected to be one of a number of players to depart the club in January.
Daniel Farke‘s time at Leeds United has been peppered with both incoming and outgoing transfers, as the all whites attempt to earn promotion from the Championship back to the Premier League.
Incredibly, the Elland Road outfit still remain on course for another title tilt, though just how close they manage to get this season is likely to depend on the strength of their business in January.
Max Wober set to leave Leeds in the new year
According to a report in Salzburger Nachtrichten, centre-back, Max Wober, is the subject of strong interest from his former side, RB Salzburg.
If a deal can be concluded, it would mean a return home to Austria for the 26-year-old, though it isn’t clear at this stage if it’s a move that Farke will accede to.
Daniel Farke will have final say on Max Wober
Whilst the Yorkshire-based club will have one eye on Financial Fair Play and also the club’s financial state more generally, the decision to let Wober leave or not is likely to be left to Farke.
The German will understand what he needs to help keep the team at a level which gives them the strongest chance of promotion come the business end of the season.
Leeds missed out by the closest of margins last season, both in terms of automatic promotion and then again in the Play-Off final.
Their conquerors on that day, Southampton, are already nine points adrift of safety this season, and are likely to drop straight back down into the Championship.
If Leeds do go up, that is what Farke will want to guard against, and arguably they’ll be better prepared to do with players like Max Wober in the squad.
Everyone knows we need a centre forward a left back and a creative midfield player . The trouble with the fullback bombing forw.ard is when we lose the ball we are open to the counter attack.we have conceded numerous goals this way
It doesn’t help any club to hang onto players who are not 100% committed to the club. No player is irreplaceable. So Wober, Firpo, Aaronson, Meslier, Bamford & a few others can & should leave. We just have to replace/upgrade them & ensure promotion this winter. And make further upgrades in the summer. The key players we cannot let go are Rodon, Struijk, Tanaka, Ampad, Gnonto, James, Ramazani, Josuha, Darlow, Cairns, several young players/prospects & even secure Rothwell & Sol9omon if possible.
BUT FIRST, we have to get thru this X’Mas period & secure maximum points with sensible utilisation of the players we have. Till then, everybody stays put. MOT.
Totally agree with the players who need to be shipped out.The problem is we are being run by an accountant who is trying to bring players in on the cheap.We received over 150 million in transfaer fees pre season and spent what 30 million of it.We made derisory offers for the players we needed and rightly got turned down.These so called transfer shower are trying to make names for themselves by using bargain basement tactics to make them look good.One thing is for sure unless we get a creative midfielder a goalscoring centre forward and a class fullback we will not get promoted.So much for the 49 ers who seem to be more interested in keeping cash than spending it.
LUFC may have accumulated £150m in outbound transfer fees, but, you seem to forget that the club owed close to that figure in previous inbound transfer instalments, many of which were due for payment, thus necessitating prudence in the transfer market … P&SR.
In addition, their prudence brought in several players at reasonable prices in today’s market who have positively added to the capabilities and quality of the squad … Joe Rodon £10m, Jayden Bogle £5m, Largie Ramazani £10m and the bargain of the year, Ao Tanaka £4m. In addition, the club brought in Manor Solomon and Joe Rothwell on unknown loan fees, and it’s difficult to deny the quality that JR brings to the squad, and the team.
I acknowledge the need for a quality AM, Striker and LB so, with the January window being close to opening “These so called transfer shower” have an ideal opportunity to source the players you’re asking for. MOT
