Leeds United already regret summer transfer decision

Leeds United have a weak squad to get through the long Championship season.

The Whites have one of the smallest squads in the division and their failure to sign more players in the summer transfer window could see them lose crucial points this season.

Joe Rodon, Joe Rothwell, Manor Solomon and Junior Firpo are all doubtful for the next match and are struggling with injuries.

Especially Solomon, who has been playing football regularly again this season after not playing for almost a year.

The player is not yet fully fit and needs match training to get into top shape.

The Whites were linked with Galatasaray’s Roland Sallai but failed to sign him in the transfer window.

Journalist Graham Smyth now claims that Daniel Farke’s team should have signed the player as he can play in multiple positions and would be a valuable asset to the club, who are currently struggling with multiple injuries.

Speaking on the Inside Elland Road Podcast he said:

“Manor Solomon, a lot of people were worried about his injury history. He’s had a back problem this week and the biggest question mark of all is about him. Back-wise and height-wise they should have gotten Sallai.

“Roland Sallai, big boy, can play anywhere, especially 10. They should have gotten him, they should have gotten him, there can be no discussion about that anymore, can there?”

Farke will regret not adding the Hungarian player to his squad.

He now has to find solutions to the injuries he sustained at the start of the season.

Leeds travel to Cardiff City tomorrow and will test the strength of their squad.
