Well, that’s it.
No last-minute drama from Leeds United today, no dramatic departures or record-setting arrivals. Most of the business done by Leeds was done well in advance of the deadline day, with only a couple deals that were made official today. Pierre-Michel Lasogga joined on loan from Hamburger SV and Paweł Cibicki signed from Malmö FF.
We've done well I think. Dissapointed we didn't get more for Wood & Lasogga a risk - but very happy all in all. #lufc

Now that the window has shut and the roster is pretty much set until January, we can step back and take a look at the transformation the club has gone through since May. A lot of new faces are in the starting lineup and while there are still serious questions about how the club is planning on replacing Chris Wood at striker, the club seems to have invested wisely instead of panic buying and overpaying for a mediocre striker or two. We’ll have more in the coming days on what the roster looks like now that the window has closed, but for now everything seems wonderful. The club is undefeated through seven matches and has kept four straight clean sheets in the league. Life is pretty good right now for Leeds fans.
