Daniel Farke has admitted that Leeds United will only sign players who fit his strict criteria in the January transfer window.<\/strong><\/p>\n Leeds are in a fight for survival<\/a> in the Premier League<\/a>, and are almost certainly going to need several additions in January.<\/p>\n Farke has been on the verge of losing his job<\/a> this season, and a lot of the pressure has come from his own unhelpful comments.<\/p>\n Leeds are braced for a battle with PSR<\/a> in the upcoming transfer market, and may need to sell before buying.<\/p>\n However, with the German\u2019s latest remark, he is once again failing to inspire anyone from a Leeds<\/a> perspective.<\/p>\n The amount of money that the Whites will be able to spend in January will be restricted, which means that Farke<\/a> may have to depend on the loan market.<\/p>\n While there is usually a massive opportunity to sign high-quality players on loan in the winter market, the Leeds boss insists that he will remain \u201cpicky\u201d over who to bring to LS11.<\/p>\n January is not the time to move slowly on targets, and we\u2019ve seen it before; Farke has missed out on key players from his shortlists in the past.<\/p>\n While speaking to the press on Thursday, Sky Sports captured the moment that Farke expressed his overly critical view in response to a question about the loan market.<\/p>\n Farke said: \u201cI think the January market is difficult. I\u2019m very picky in January, and for that you need many things to come together.<\/p>\n \u201cWe always have to stay awake, and if we find an addition that we think will make our group available, then we will be open to it.\u201d<\/p>\n “I’m very picky” \ud83c\udf99\ufe0f<\/p>\n Leeds’ Daniel Farke stated his belief that the January transfer window is a ‘difficult market’ to sign players. pic.twitter.com\/ayRuz0FsUG<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Sky Sports News (@SkySportsNews) December 18, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n View Tweet<\/p>\n There\u2019s no doubt that Leeds\u2019 relegation rivals will be active in the market, and every minute matters next month.<\/p>\n Why the 49ers are partly to blame for poor January preparation<\/p>\n Up until December, it felt like Farke\u2019s Leeds sacking was inevitable, until the 49-year-old pulled off results over Liverpool and Chelsea.<\/p>\n Due to this, the lack of preparation ahead of the January window from the 49ers<\/a> has been visible for all to see, and supporters should be braced for frustration.<\/p>\n Farke has already admitted that Leeds don\u2019t have concrete plans<\/a> for the transfer window, which is exactly the opposite of what the Leeds fanbase wants to hear.<\/p>\n It\u2019s all because of the uncertainty surrounding Farke\u2019s future in LS11, and the club as a whole will now suffer from too much hesitation with decisions.<\/p>\n It seems like Farke may only be relaying the feeling he\u2019s getting from the board surrounding their backing and what has or hasn\u2019t been promised.<\/p>\n Enjoyed this article?<\/strong> Stay connected with all the latest Leeds United news, updates, and behind-the-scenes content by following us on our new Instagram account \u2013@motleedsnews<\/a><\/p>\n ![\"Daniel](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/daniel-farke-leeds-millwall-1024x575.jpg\")
