Recruitment in offensive areas is nill! If they don&#8217;t spend big, I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll go down. One thing I can guarantee: the atmosphere for every match home and away will be electric and that is why the Premier League is a better place if we can stay up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><b class=\"ssrcss-1xjjfut-BoldText e5tfeyi3\">Graham<\/b>: Defensively, we&#8217;re ready, but up top we need a proven PL-level striker or we&#8217;ll end up like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/sport\/football\/teams\/burnley\" class=\"ssrcss-k8mrr8-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Burnley<\/a> &#8211; 0-0 draws every other week. On a slightly more serious note, I hope we give Farke a good run at it and our fans don&#8217;t scream for him to be sacked three games in.  We all realise it&#8217;s going to be a struggle, so have some patience!<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><b class=\"ssrcss-1xjjfut-BoldText e5tfeyi3\">Keith<\/b>: Impressed by the first signings. A set of &#8216;giants&#8217; that will make us hopefully stronger defensively, but the silence since the signing of Perri hasn&#8217;t been golden. We look weak up front, not convinced with either frontman we currently have. It&#8217;s amazing that we&#8217;ve had so much time since promotion was achieved but didn&#8217;t have a plan B, C or D just in case our first option fell through &#8211; which it did. I&#8217;ve confidence that in the next couple of weeks we will get a full-back, winger or number 10 and a striker, but they need to get a wriggle on and not wait till the last minute.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><b class=\"ssrcss-1xjjfut-BoldText e5tfeyi3\">Garry<\/b>: Pre-season has been steady, but with the new signings also looking promising. We still need cover for left-back, although Pascal can play there. I get the feeling we are going to see Harry Gray get game time too. Love how most odds have Farke to be among the first to get sacked. No chance!<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><b class=\"ssrcss-1xjjfut-BoldText e5tfeyi3\">Alex<\/b>: We&#8217;ve built good depth in the defence with the signings of Bornauw  Bijol and Gudmundsson. We&#8217;ve also improved the midfield with the signing of Anton Stach, who has looked good in pre-season and Sean Longstaff. They add to an already good midfield. Then, we&#8217;ve solved our goalkeeper problem with the signing of Lucas Perri and a new striker will improve our depth up top. Overall, I think we are ready for the Premier League and can hopefully stay up next season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><b class=\"ssrcss-1xjjfut-BoldText e5tfeyi3\">Robert<\/b>: No, we are NOT ready yet. Since Bielsa, we have failed to get in at least ONE proven Premier League-quality striker. Some good business has been done, BUT, until we have the proper goalscoring firepower, we will still be among the relegation favourites. Get a move on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We asked for your views on whether Leeds are ready for the new season after the Whites completed&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":335659,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[748,393,4884,1860,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-335658","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-leeds","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115010041655801038","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/335658","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=335658"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/335658\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/335659"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=335658"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=335658"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=335658"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
