excited about the deal but it only matters if we play him. worried about that as we have a tendency to lock someone in a position regardless of how bad they get beat over and over. Hope that Farke is different.

Looks like Greenwood and Drameh may go.
Suggested somewhere Drameh won’t extent his contract with us so we may want to cash in now as he is a free agent at the end of the season.
Greenwood is a bit of an enigma - can play very well but the game can also pass him by.
Joffy seems to be at sixes and sevens so not sure what will happen there but the impish spark he had two years ago seems to missing at the moment.
Hjelde I feel sorry for as he is a CB and not a LB and seems to be getting criticised in some media reports for playing out of position - seems a bit deja vu with what happened with Struijk too.
Can't say I have heard or seen m8ch of this guy;

But we were (supposedly) very interested, to the extent there was some medical passed after he injured himself training (where have we heard THAT one before?!).
And now we have "withdrawn";

Who the f00k is the "squad planner" and just how does he have the ability to overrule Farke (if that's indeed what has happened)?
Never heard of the squad planner, where the hell has he come from, overruling farke, jesus christ, could only be Leeds.
The article has squad planner in “” whatever that is supposed to infer!? It’s also from some German media outlet we’ve never heard of - only two days left till the window closes so might as well just see how it all pans out and ignore the media nonsense in the meantime.
Still linked with Kamara and the lad from Newcastle seems to getting more noises but who knows.
Suspect we will get another 2 to 3 in and maybe a few out - Greenwood, Drameh and possibly Joffy.
Greenwood loaned out to Boro
Two midfielders having medicals
Still no left back
Kamara from Rangers and a fella called Gruev from Werder Bremen. Both for about £5m each or thereabouts.
Think Joffy and Hjelde might leave us. Suspect Firpo is still in Farke’s mind so maybe no LB coming in.
Building nicely into a decent Championship squad for me. January window to come, though I know most don’t like doing the business then but Farke will have had a good period to assess and strengthen then perhaps?
Jamie Shackleton impressed recently so I think he might flourish under Farke.
Looking good for this happy clapper 😁
Gruev confirmed - looks like Kamara will follow soon.
Seven players in and likely to be eight by the end of the day.
No idea how good some of these lads might be, but reckon Farke knows what he's doing, not bothered about losing Greenwood or Drameh TBH - looking like we will exceed the "How many new players in" predictions by a few of our shall we say .....more "pessemistic" posters lol
