Leeds United told where to focus after summer transfer window verdict given after £142m boost — Leeds Live 7/9/24
Whites supporters have had their say on the summer transfer window and where Leeds should look to strengthen
It was a busy summer transfer window for Leeds United with
eight incoming transfers and 21 players leaving the club this summer.
The Whites were able to bring in a whopping reported
£140million from players sales, lining their coffers for the upcoming campaign.
After four games, Daniel Farke's side sit in the play-offs with two wins and
two draws from those games.
An unbeaten start to the season has quashed any immediate
concerns about the departures of key players, but what do Leeds fans think of
the recent window? Leeds Live asked supporters for their views in our recent
survey and it makes for interesting reading.
We asked if supporters felt the club should have invested
more of the money they earned from player sales, with 54 per cent of
participants saying yes, 28 per cent of supporters believe it should be kept
for January, while 12 per cent of supporters replied no. A further six per cent
believe the money should be saved for the summer.
The vast majority of supporters were content with the recent
window, with 55 per cent of votes selecting that option when asked how happy
they were with the transfer window. 27 per cent of those who voted said they
weren't happy, with 18 per cent of voters happy.
Manor Solomon was the signing that supporters were most
excited by, with a huge majority of the votes - 52 per cent in his favour when
asked who fans were looking forward to seeing the most.
Ao Tanaka was in second place with 25 per cent of votes,
with Largie Ramazani in third with 19 per cent. Isaac Schmidt took two per cent
of the votes, with Joe Rothwell and Jayden Bogle both on one per cent.
With attention now shifting onto the January transfer
market, supporters have sent a clear message to the board regarding the area of
the squad they should improve. The departure of Georginio Rutter frees up the
number ten spot, with Brenden Aaronson the player currently in that role.
