Transfer success of the next five days could significantly shape Leeds’ season
After successive draws in the Championship to begin their promotion push and being dumped out the Carabao Cup by Middlesbrough, you’d be hard pushed to find anyone of a Leeds United persuasion who was arguing it had been anything like a good start to the new campaign.
The results were not terrible, especially a point away at West Bromwich Albion, but coming on the back of a summer that saw the likes of Archie Gray, Crysencio Summerville and Georginio Rutter all depart, confidence in the team and the club was dented and in some circumstances, significantly on the wane.
However, the good thing about football is that with one goal, one performance or one signing, the mood can change, an outlook takes a different complexion and targets which once seemed distant now feel within reach. Potentially, there goes Leeds United in the next week.
