Leeds United’s record-breaking transfer window was not without setbacks and disappointments.
The Whites signed nine new players during a busy summer that saw 17 players leave Elland Road.
Daniel Farke’s Leeds were involved in a number of amusing transfer sagas during a window in which they worked to the very last minute.
Nadiem Amiri of Bayer Leverkusen changed his mind about a transfer at least three times, while Joseph Paintsil would have been a Leeds player but for a snafu at the Genk end.
The most heartbreaking saga, particularly for Farke, will have been how close they were to signing Max Aarons from Norwich City, only to be outbid by Bournemouth at the last minute.
