Englishman with 400+ Premier League apps joins Leeds in backroom role – report
‘I won’t lie’ – Daniel Farke shares Leeds transfer priority in new January admission
Leeds United January transfer window no concern amid positive verdict for Daniel Farke at Elland Road – BBC Sport pundit
We are thrilled to have Paul Robinson, a former England goalkeeper, join us as an exclusive writer. Paul will provide his thoughts on the main topics at Leeds United each week.
Paul Robinson sees Leeds United’s lack of movement during the transfer window as a benefit rather than a cause for concern.
“No, if you look at the window as a whole in general it’s a very, very quiet window and you find that through the Championship as well. You look at the Premier League, there’s only been one signing so far, [Radu] Dragusin at Tottenham, where money’s actually exchanged hands. It’s been loans, it’s been swap deals, it’s been recalling players from loan. It’s a really quiet window in general,” he exclusively told MOT Leeds News that he wasn’t concerned.
From a Leeds perspective, I don’t personally worry about it because I believe it to be a window-wide issue. Leeds is having the same difficulties conducting business in the window as everyone else.
This is somewhat advantageous for Leeds because, given the current state of the transfer window and the fact that the team is finding it difficult to conduct business like everyone else, major deals in January seem improbable for players like [Crysencio] Summerville, who have been linked to moves elsewhere.
Phil Hay has provided an update on the Elland Road reasoning for the search for a “absolutely terrific” acquisition this month, in other Leeds United news.

Leeds United midfielder Lewis Bate future update emerges amid development in last 24 hours
Lewis Bate, a midfielder for Leeds United, has officially sealed his Elland Road departure during the January transfer window in order to sign a loan with MK Dons.
On January 19, Dons announced the news officially on Twitter, where he will remain for the duration of the season.

Sending Bate to play football in a lower division helps him develop as a midfield player by giving him important first-team experience.
Since his contract is about to expire in the summer, keeping an eye on things is essential to avoiding the possibility of losing him to a free transfer.
Leeds can monitor his development and involvement at MK Dons to determine whether he is continuing to progress as predicted.
By taking this proactive stance, the team can make well-informed decisions regarding Bate’s future, whether it is through contract extension negotiations or preparations for his first-team integration.
