Just looked at all the championship deals done so far and apart from Kiko none really stand out. Norwood a good buy for SU but rest nothing special. Why would you bring Cole in yes lot of experience but doubt if he has any passion left and probably be on good money. Naive management there i think.

Guys, am I in the minority? I don't actually want us to buy anyone in the January transfer window

Looking back at preseason, it seemed to take Biesla 6-8 weeks to get Heckingbottom's team of misfirers into the slick outfit that played Stoke on the first day of the season
In my naïve thinking then, won't that be the same for any new recruit? So End of March before then can contribute. if they are able to work at Bieslas levels/ standards


wouldn't it be more prudent to "loan to buy" anyone at this stage. Not risking funds that will be needed in the summer, whether its for Premiership recruitment or a further Championship season.

So you don't think Bowen and Mactomeney on loan would help us then.

I would love either/ both of them. However I doubt Hull will do us a loan-to-buy on Jarrod Bowen, and although Scott McTominay could be a good shout for a 6 month loan, I doubt the scum would let us buy one of their best young talents. No doubt they will sell him to Leicester/ Palace/ Southampton or some one of that ilk, but never Leeds. They are still smarting over wee Gordon.

Axe, surely it would be easier to integrate one or two.

Axa, it would seem that we are somewhat struggling having lost four, I know that we have some due to return but feel we need to bring in two or three to make sure we cover any more injuries or bands, they will need to be able to play in PL which may save us money buying now rather then waiting then buying when we are there. My opinion ONLY.

AL, Whiteman.

I have no doubt that Biesla can integrate talented and committed player in to his structures. I am just unsure of the timescales. Had he bought on 1st January then he could have had an extra 4 weeks to mould them. I think we have waited too long.

Pragmatically. I would not be adverse to selling Clarke, as long as we got a couple of premier quality players in return, and enough money to buy Bowen

After all. Some other mug can pay his wages for 3 years and we can buy back a 20yo baller on the cheap. I would prefer Delph and Milner for next season, to guide Leeds to a mid table finish.
