I’m assuming we will try and get the Solomon deal done early?

This Leeds fan reckons we need to strengthen our squad in every position, on Talksport last night.
He may not be far wrong.

time to see if Brighton will let us have Georgie back, and Jimmy for that matter.

GK - A class goalie who commands his box.
Bogle
LWB - A solid experienced LB who can defend as well as get forward
Rodon
CBR - Premier/European class
Ampadu
CMF - A goal scoring midfielder, someone who can score from a free-kick.
James
#9 - A No.9 who is good in the air as well as with the ball at his feet & score all types of goals, (same applies to the AMF too)
AMF
Soloman (if Spurs allow him to join Leeds)
Bench
Darlow
GK
RWB
Struijk or Wober
CB
LWB
Tanaka
CMF
Ramazani

AMF
Aaronson

Meslier, Gnonto, Grue, Wober or Struijk to be sold.
Maybe Bamford if any club are prepared to take a punt on him.
Haven't seen enough of Schmidt to make a clear judgement.
Joseph sent out on loan to a championship club

Rutter, Summerville and Sinisterra not even on the benches for their respective clubs today. I blame Bielsa's excessive training.

Geo is injured, up til then he's been influential. Good rate of goals and assists. Sinisterra was a Marsch buy I think.

The problem is there needs to be a level of realism and we really need astute signings.

Gnonto is one player I would not be looking to sell.

Squad player at best, which to be fair applies to the majority of our current set-up.
Willy irritates me at times, I'm disappointed with him when he has started in our first XI of late.

Can't argue with that, shrewd bargain signings who can cope in the PL.
If we do an Ipswich, we are doomed.

I think we should keep ampadu and Rodon as first choice centre back pairing - they complement each other really well. Struijk and maybe a new experienced player as back up. Need a left back, number 9, a number 10 and a CM plus sign Solomon permanently. Ramizanni and Aaronson to leave and hopefully we find someone willing to take Harrison who I’m sure was quietly hoping we wouldn’t be promoted.

We would 100% need a new spine.( GK, CB, CM, ST) and that's bare minimum
Possibilities, we maybe interested in
Cooper
Dewsbury-Hall
Walker-Peters
Davies
Buendia
