Dave is a huge Leeds fan and ardent disciple of Bielsa ball. A career in print magazines that included editing PC Zone, launching PokerPlayer and redesigning The Big Issue has finally led Dave to writing about the love of his life, Leeds United. It’s been a tough 2020 but the single scariest moment was the first quarter of the game against Man City. Rodrigo will be the saviour this season.

Leeds United know they desperately need another striker and are increasingly putting their eggs in one basket, with Che Adams the player they want as back-up for Patrick Bamford.

Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has been vocal about wanting to keep the player on the south coast, but he is seemingly being undermined by his board.

Athletic journalist Phil Hay said the club would prefer to let Adams move to Leeds, for a £1m fee with an obligation to buy for £10m+ at the end of the season.

The overwhelming majority of Leeds fans are sold on the move and are desperate for it to happen, but are very worried about a repeat of last January, that saw Leeds go all-out to sign Swansea's Daniel James only for the deal to collapse dramatically on deadline day.

Many fans think that was the moment that Leeds' promotion charge ended.

Leeds are still in a strong position in the Championship – second and six points clear of Brentford in third.

However, Brentford are the form team in the top three, with 10 points from the last 15. Leeds have just five and West Brom four. A repeat in the next five games would see Brentford just one point behind Leeds and West Brom.

Adams has now become the player that Leeds fans see as the solution to the Championship problem and a lot are begging Andrea Radrizzani to get the deal done.

Here are the best reactions from Leeds fans...

@andrearadri get it done

If we can't get this done in the next couple of days, move on, but with a definitive signing. Going into a championship fixture with one fit striker is completely embarrassing, should have been dealt with as SOON as Eddie left.

Che Adams burys both chances Bamford had yesterday and we stay top with a 2 point gap simple as, pay the money

Sold out pretty much every home game this season and have made money from selling other players, get it done FFS

Just pay the money get it done will be worth it

Che Adams isn't suddenly the miracle cure for Leeds but he would make a big difference.

He's got a great record in the Championship and the stark fact is that Leeds have one striker at the moment. That's simply not enough to maintain a promotion charge.
