When you compare all the ins and outs of Leeds United since the end of last season, there’s been a lot more activity than you remember.
With Raphinha’s arrival still as new to reminiscences and an encouraging start in Premier League life to his credit, this looks like an incredibly successful window.
Eleven names were removed from Thorp Arch’s list, which ended last quarter with thirteen new faces added to the same era for a variety of ages and prizes.
This is the maximum window in the history of the club and the best, so let’s compare the orchestrated corporate through Victor Orta.
Charlie Allen
At 16, Allen is the youngest of white whites’ new high-profile faces in this window, and took Linfield’s prodigy for a six-figure sum in August.
Ironically, Allen made the national headlines with the Guardian as one of his own to see among the next generation of football superstars at Premier League clubs.
Allen has largely limited himself to the appearances of under-18s so far, but broke into the under-23s last week.
As with any young recruit, time will tell us how smart this resolution is. However, everyone in Belfast is extremely happy with someone who is part of Linfield’s first team in 15. 8
Helder Costa
The resolution was agreed in the summer of 2019 when the Portuguese agreed to an initial one-season loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
There were serious reservations about what Costa might have presented on the most sensible flight after a first year inconsistent with Marcelo Bielsa and a complicated era with the Wolves at the level.
However, he took over and made the same kind of jump that many make at the time of the season with the Argentine.
If you can keep your current point or even improve the season more, then those 15 million pound rates seem increasingly valuable. 7
Cody Drameh
One of the many young internationals to complete the under-23s in this window. Like Allen, it’s hard to judge the quality of the agreement. Highly sought after in the Fulham books.
He made a promising start to life with the Under-23, betting as a central defender or as a right-back.
Joe Gelhardt
Considered the Wayne Rooney of his generation, whites had to rush towards the teenager when Wigan Athletic struggled money.
Gelhardt, one of the few young players to have won a team number on the first pre-season list, is highly rated and when watching Premier League 2 matches you can already watch.
Convened this week in England’s under-19, it could be one of the future. Ten
Sam Greenwood
Arsenal enthusiasts were baffled to see the news of the striker’s move to Thorp Arch this summer, because of their confidence in him.
Greenwood did nothing to ease his pain in the first few weeks of the season, scoring goals in three PL2 games.
With Gelhardt in the under-19 this week to highlight his in his age group.
Jack Harrison
While we all expected a permanent agreement to be reached despite everything, it was a three-season transfer in a row from Manchester City.
It is understood that it will make an intelligence signal next summer for a fraction more than United would have paid this time.
The only problem with the loan is the fact that he misses games with City, however, it is worth paying to see him back for a year in a new apartment before getting rid of the money.
Unscrupulous about Harrison. Liverpool’s purpose highlighted the innovations we saw last season. Significant acquisition. It would have been a higher score if they had done it permanently this time.
Robin Koch
Not bringing Ben White is disappointing, but getting a German foreigner from courage is not an easy task for Orta.
The first symptoms are also very promising. Koch’s composure, passes, course, bravery and positioning are smart so far.
At about thirteen million pounds, it can turn out to be the cash price of the summer at United. 9
Diego Llorente
However, to kick a forged white ball, other foreigners walk through the door for less than 20 million pounds and a festival for Koch and Liam Cooper.
We are told that he has all the obligatory attributes to be Bielsa’s defense and that at 27 he is the most sensitive technique of his powers.
It does not conform to Koch’s bill due to the higher value paid.
Illan Meslier
Another agreement almost in force since last summer, but executed in this window. Orta may be with the meager five million pounds of a rookie goalkeeper.
After waiting much of his last loan term, Meslier tried his luck with either hand and those saved at Sheffield United last month bode well for his long-term development.
Still very young and green during a prolonged stage in the level, however, its value corresponds to this profile.
Raphinha
Last of the agreements and new face that we have not yet noticed in the colors of United. The 23-year-old is younger than some of his new first-team teammates, although he’s not a foreigner like them either.
A look at the intensity chart of the club staff would make you wonder if you want a wide option, but what Bielsa needs, Bielsa gets.
Raphinha called in the mouth of Leeds United fans on the day of the play deadline, the whites closed a contract expired by the Brazilian winger.

At 15. 4 million pounds in advance, it’s one more price for the cash Orta has discovered in a talented Brazilian who can be more than double in two or three years. 8
rodrigo
We are only to scratch the surface of the Spanish international, which illuminated the moment part of the weekend in front of man city.
He is a user connected to European clubs 12 months ago for more than double the 26 million pounds paid through United to Valencia.
This is the figure in Spain that we are talking about, for less than 30 million pounds in a market where Chelsea spend more than 75 million pounds on a German game maker.
At the age of 29, Rodrigo is also the finished article. Ready to hit the ground while you run.
Crysencio Summerville
Another for children under 23 for a seven-figure fee. You don’t play for the Netherlands national team in grades under-16, 17, 18 and 19 with nothing on you.
He had contact with the first department in his local country last season, so he has a higher value and more delight than some at his age.
So far, just an ephemeral outlet for children under the age of 23, but it’s not a bad deal to bring a young foreign Dutchman as a future prospect. 8
Dani van den Heuvel
Another Dutch teenager walked through the door this summer and cited Meslier as an inspiration to come to Thorp Arch by chance.
Ajax produced one or two decent footballers in their day. Van den Heuvel is 17 years old and will want time, but Dutch groups are turning their heads in their direction.
Gaetano Berardi
United has yet to acknowledge that Switzerland’s contract expired this summer and is expected to be given terms once he recovers from his serious knee injury in Derby County.
As things are, he is a lazy agent and technically an outing of the club as he is registered. A very fluid situation, so you get the score of a goalkeeper 6
Mateusz Bogusz
Another young player has been loaned to Spain. At first glance, one wonders why they sent a promising game creator to a fourth-department club there.
Take a closer look and you will see that UD Logrones recently ascends to the position at the moment in Spain and will face players such as Espanyol, Rayo Vallecano, Mallorca and Zaragoza this quarter.
Expect it to be a point for League One here and with them newly promoted, expect Bogusz to play regularly.
I was under the impression that the Pole was stagnant with the under-23s when he was never going to enter a first Premier League team. I need a move, I have one. I would have scored higher for the national loan and more delight from the English game.
Laurens De Bock
Bock’s as a ring road on Elland Road stands out for the fact that its loan to Zulte Waregem has never been announced on the club’s website.
Obviously not in Bielsa’s plans, a move is a smart thing, but still, a loan. Zulte has a purchase option next summer, but a quick and permanent release would have been preferable.
Ryan Edmondson
I didn’t see Bielsa last season, no more transparent than the opening for him at least on the bench.
Too smart for the under-23 opponent in the last legislature and wants absolute competition. Despite his early debut with the whites a few years ago, his inventory has dropped and Aberdeen will have to be fine for him.
High-level Scottish football, with a bit of Europa League, however, is a concert.
Bryce Hosannah
Twenty-one now and Hosannah has not made the first-team raids he would have sought now. Bradford City had to be transferred and a loan deal gave him the chance to dive into League Two before taking the plunge. off too. 9
Suffer
Released and suffering a chronic injury to the arm.
Alfie McCalmont
Everyone expected McCalmont to be one of the few promising under-23s for a major party for seniors. League One would possibly have been better suited to his quality, but hopefully he will play almost every week in the League. Two and be comfortable too.
Kamil Miazek
Released and at 24, all parties know that he will have to play somewhere very soon to start his career.
Rafa Mujica
An arrival in Barcelona that makes less and less sense, now in this 3rd consecutive transfer outside Thorp Arch and back in Spain where no enjoyment of the English game will win.
Like Bogusz, right now it’s the Spanish point with Real Oviedo, so the point is right: if Orta sees a long career for him with Leeds, would he use a home loan?
Jordan Stevens
Going to Ligue 1 with Swindon Town was the kind of loan we expected to see for McCalmont.
He is a popular stevens-age player and even brings him closer to his circle of relatives in Gloucestershire.
Already playing, scoring and helping Richie Wellens.
Kun Temenuzhkov
A striker who will be very promising and prospective with the under-23 before disappearing and returning on loan to Spain the last session.
Playing in the 3rd Spanish point with Real Unión this time and at a point that no one will be very informed.
Maybe the house of his time with United now. 6
