Leeds United fans have made their feelings clear on social media after deadline day came and went, without any new faces arriving at the club.
It was clear that Leeds United needed some more players bringing in before the summer transfer slammed shut at 7pm on Monday evening.
And the manager made that clear, too, with Daniel Farke saying after Leeds’ game against Newcastle United that he wanted more attacking signings on deadline day.
But despite links to a number of players, and a late Leeds United push to sign Harry Wilson from Fulham, no new faces arrived at Elland Road.

Attackers were the main focus for the Whites. Leeds United had a loan bid rejected for Wilson before then trying to put together a permanent deal in the final hours, and Leeds United had a loan bid for Buendia rejected by Aston Villa as well.
Sheffield United’s Gustavo Hamer was also strongly linked with Leeds on deadline day, but the midfield maestro remains at Bramall Lane for the time being.

Whilst Farke will get some flak from fans after a poor finish to the summer transfer window, many accept that the buck ultimately stops with the owners, and with chairman Paraag Marathe who so often speaks about ambitions, but who maybe let Farke down in the final weeks of the summer window.
One angry Leeds United fan posted online: “I’m not the biggest fan of Farke, I think he has flaws in management. But he’s not been dealt a fair hand again! He asked for attacking additions for weeks! 49ers failed.”

A similar post read: “Don’t rate Daniel Farke as a manager at all. But it’s hard to believe we’ve given him the best chance of keeping us in the division. It’s going to take a serious amount of luck and things to go our way to get close.”
Honestly, I have no words. Yet another struggle to get to the prem, then trying to do it on the cheap. Again. Thing is, even by some miracle if we do stay up, the owners have shown no ambition at all. What’s the point? #lufc

Meanwhile, this supporter weighed in with: “Not only have we not signed anyone on deadline day, our ‘star signing’ in [Noah] Okafor now has a whole load of weight on his shoulders to perform. This isn’t Farke’s doing, this is the owners, every penny they said, every penny.”
Other comments read: “It appears our American owners can talk the talk, but can’t walk the walk!” as well as this Leeds United fan joking: “Hats off to the owners though. We’ve ended the window with more goalies than strikers”
Leeds United now have a break from Premier League action before returning away at Fulham on September 13th.
