Angus Kinnear addresses Leeds’ lack of transfer activity
Angus Kinnear has addressed Leeds United fans’ concern over a supposed lack of transfer activity this summer.
The Whites have mainly delivered under-23s signings, with Junior Firpo the main senior signing alongside Jack Harrison.
Links have come and gone, with a midfielder and attacker still supposedly wanted before the end of this month.
Adam Pope of the BBC shared his notes from the programme on his personal Twitter account, and it made for good reading.
“I understand that some supporters were disappointed by a perceived lack of transfer activity, but we have not deviated from the strategy that has already delivered a ninth-place finish in the Premier League,” he wrote.
Understand?
Kinnear came out and said the very same thing on the Squareball podcast a couple of weeks ago, and it isn’t good enough.
We have been linked with numerous players, but there appears to be a lack of urgency to pay up big money and bring names in.
Noa Lang and Lewis O’Brien have both been strongly linked in the past couple of weeks, but there has been no progress.
That is where this disappointment comes from, and just saying that we were successful with this method last season doesn’t make it good.
Kinnear is maybe forgetting that we spent nearly four times this amount last summer, and while we understand it isn’t sustainable to do that every year, just come out and say that.
Let’s hope this changes in the next fortnight.
