Leeds United’s transfer window activity ensures that Daniel Farke has two or more players for most positions in his 4-2-3-1 system, but it also prevents any U21 gems from being promoted. Eight summer arrivals, including Joe Rodon, Largie Ramazani, and Ao Tanaka, have given Farke a Leeds squad that not only has Premier League talent, but also plenty of depth in most positions. Another centre-back, possibly a no.10, could have neatly topped off a solid window in which Farke and the Leeds transfer team were compelled to rebuild the squad. However, in some situations, more than two players compete for…
Leeds United endured a tough summer transfer window following numerous high-profile exits at Elland Road. Daniel Farke lost key players Crysencio Summerville, Georginio Rutter, Archie Gray, and Glen Kamara, and while more than £100 million in fees were raised, the quantity of new signings left the manager wanting more. The Whites finally signed Largie Ramazani, Manor Solomon, Ao Tanaka, and Isaac Schmidt in the final week of the transfer window, but some of the missed opportunities frustrated fans. Jonathan Rowe was clearly one of those players, having raised some eyebrows at Norwich City before joining Ligue 1 club Marseille. It…
