Leeds United has already started laying aside money in anticipation of the January transfer window, just in case Daniel Farke feels his team needs a quality boost come January.
The Leeds promotion push is still early in the season and hasn’t even become a clear front-runner versus a number other front-runners.
That said, there are already arrangements in place in the Elland Road boardroom to guarantee Daniel Farke’s support long into 2024.
According to LeedsLive, Angus Kinnear’s meeting with the Supporters’ Advisory Board disclosed that the team is already making plans for the January window.
The team still has two loan spaces available in their roster after signing Joe Rodon, Djed Spence, and Jaidon Anthony on loan earlier this season. Kinnear has revealed that this was a purposeful choice.
This implies that in an effort to add players in the new year, Leeds will probably look to the loan market for new talent. Farke will also have access to general finances in case he needs them in light of any injury worries.
It’s wonderful to see that we already have a plan in place for when the new year arrives in two and a half months.
We have been stumbling towards January for far too long without much of a plan to add players, and it has finally caught up with us, leaving us short-handed for the second half of the season.
Regarding their strategy with these acquisitions, the team has evidently determined that the loan market offers the greatest opportunity to locate players of the proper calibre at the ideal price.
Given that payments are inflated or players are free to depart for a legitimate reason, it is pretty obvious that signing players permanently is not a viable option in January.
The onus now should be on the board’s redesigned hiring process to identify the players who can help Leeds advance further in the playoffs.
