Leeds United 2010 transfer window round-up

Deal of the summer?

With the English transfer window due to close tomorrow (31st August), you can expect a day of non-stop rumours and speculation as the clubs make their final permanent additions to the squads until January.

So far, Leeds United have brought in a total of eight new faces (which includes Watt on a season-long loan) with an estimated total spend in the region of £700,000.

Transfer deadline day can often bring huge surprises and panic buys from managers desperate to add the finishing touches to their sides. This year, the Championship could be a little quieter though as many teams are expected to wait until September the 1st when the Premier League clubs have to submit their final 25 man squads for the season.

Other than the possible signing of Ramon Nunez, I expect a quiet day for Leeds United tomorrow. Simon Grayson has already said that he hopes to benefit from the Premier League’s new 25 man squad rule, and I suspect a lot of Championship managers will feel the same.

With little activity expected, here’s a summary of what’s happened so far starting with players in;

With eight players added to the Leeds United team, Grayson and Bates were undoubtedly hoping for more interest in the likes of Andy Robinson and Alan Sheehan who continue to add a touch of over-paid quality to our reserve team.

With a lot of attention on the players we’ve struggled to get rid of, it may surprise some Leeds fans to learn that more players have moved out than in over the summer. A full list of these is below;
