Leeds United have not shown urgency bringing players in.
Leeds United have not signed any players since the start of July and there do not look to be any immediate deals on the horizon.
Manager Marcelo Bielsa believes strongly in the set of players he has, with his feelings outlined by club chief executive Angus Kinnear at a Q&A event.
Reported by the Yorkshire Evening Post, Kinnear said that Bielsa believes he can get much more out of the players his disposal.
Kinnear said: “Marcelo is absolutely adamant that the players he’s got are all going to be better than they were last season.
“He’s expecting breakthrough seasons from some of our younger players, I think you’ll see the likes of Jamie Shackleton and Jack Clarke really step up. We’ve seen Jack Harrison already in pre-season emerging as a real talent.”
Nobody is doubting Bielsa’s ability to improve players.
He proved this last season, taking a team which finished outside the top 10 to secure third place.
The problem was that they finished narrowly short, and other sides in the Championship are showing more sign of ambition in the market.
There is concern that Leeds might not have got the balance quite right.
Kinnear added regarding transfers: “There still may be some twists and turns before the window is over but we’re very happy with the squad as it is at the moment.”
