Jan transfer thread started, as a few have requested it, as normal the first post will be updated ongoing.
HDM on Gelhardt… Leeds United do have the option to recall him during a window early in the month, but as it stands, they have no plans to recall Gelhardt in January and believe the forward is best-suited to staying at the MKM Stadium through until the summer, when there will undoubtedly be a big decision to be made if he keeps up his impressive scoring run.
As we will still be on a one out and one in. Who goes to make room for any incoming signings? Palmer for a starter.
I could see the likes of Ipswich, Southampton sticking a bid in for Geldhart but other than that I see no reason why Leeds would recall him.
Palmer will be off, which will free up space for Zambrano to come in on loan. Though, all that being said, if he’s destined to turn up here in Summer anyway, do we leave him at Maribor until the Summer as nobody else is gonna come in for him anyway? We do have Matazo to come back as well. I am actually worried we will lose Gelhardt to a parachute payment club because if one of them puts an offer in, he’ll probably wanna go regardless of where we are in the table. It would be nice to think he would turn it all down to stay with us and then sign in Summer, fair play if he did but I just don’t think it’s realistic to assume he would and not plan for it as an outcome. I think if somebody wanted Famewo he’d also be allowed to go.
Zambrano will want to be playing in England in the run up to the World Cup you'd think, will give him a better chance of getting in Ecuador's squad.
