Daniel Farke admits his disappointment out of the Leeds transfer window and says “no one dances on the table”

Daniel Farke admits that no one in Leeds is “dancing on the table” with a delight of how the transfer window ended.

Leeds had hoped to sign another attacking player, but a movement for Harry Wilson de Fulham fell in the last minute, leaving West Yorkshire on the side of the options in the final third.

Has not prevented the recently promoted club Catching four points of their first three games And Farke insists, although disappointed, he will not put himself in his hand that he has been given.

Speaking before the weekend trip to Wilson and Fulham to Craven Cottage, the German said: “I am focused on the next game, but it is fair to say that we are not dancing on the table.

“I have principles with the way we work. One is, I like openness and transparency and nomo as I see it and I speak in general what it is necessary to do as a club. We have such a big fan base: I do not want to navigate some rock –

“The second principle is that, once the window is closed, you will not feel a bad comment from me. I am lucky to work in this business and my job is to adapt -to reality. I don’t need to feel sorry for myself.”

We wanted another forward, says Farke

Farke admitted, however, that it was always the plan to sign another forward player before closing the window on September 1.

He added, “I don’t mean different things to what I said before. I will not go out and I will say that it was never the plan to sign offensive players. I would never do it because I don’t like to talk about nonsense. Once the situation is over, I adapt to reality. You will not hear a bad word from me. I am there for my players.

“It doesn’t make sense to feel and sorry. Maybe we wanted a different day or a different transfer window, but right now we are focusing on trying to get the most points of the Premier League.

“I am completely focused on Fulham. We have to win the right to keep us up to date.”

Leeds affected by injuries

As is often the case, after losing to Wilson, Leeds has suffered injuries to two players in the striker with Joel Piroe and Lukas Nmecha struggling to be suitable for the game west of London.

“There are some small question marks around Lukas Nmecha: he was successful in his foot and lost his training; also Joel Piroe, he was hit in his calf and has great bruises,” said Farke. “We have to wait how their bodies react in the next 24 hours, so there is little doubt around them.”

Any other place was mixed news for Leeds.

“Lucas Perri is definitely out of the game,” said Farke, of the goalkeeper who is likely to be replaced by Karl Darlow. “He reported after the last game some problems with his quad. He had a scan and there is a muscle tension. He will definitely miss the following two games and then we will be more clearly.

“And there are some good news. Ethan Ampadu and Ao Tanaka are integrated into the main parts of team training. Ethan slightly more. But we also have 48 hours and we will make a late decision with them. But both are possible, it depends on how they react in the next 48 hours.”
