Leeds United fans were left pleased at the end of the summer after the club finalised two more key signings on the final day of the transfer window.
The Whites left it late to complete their business, but the deadline-day arrivals of Melvin Bard and Jean-Matteo Bahoya provided more options to Daniel Farke.
Leeds still feel a little short up front, and it seems a big gamble that the club have banked on two strikers with chequered injury histories to stay fit for the rest of the season.
The Whites fans can not only enjoy a fruitful transfer window, but also get to see rival fans suffer a major meltdown due to the actions of a former Leeds chief executive.

Everton fans are furious with ex-Leeds chief Angus Kinnear
Angus Kinnear left Leeds to join Everton last year after the Merseyside club were taken over by their new owners, the Friedkin Group.
However, the former Leeds sporting director is facing the wrath of Everton fans after a shambolic end to the transfer window for the Premier League club.
At the end of the window, Everton are left with just 18 fit players in their squad and only have one recognised striker in the building.
Beto was allowed to join Fiorentina on loan, and Everton were left empty-handed in the final hours of the window after Folarin Balogun declined to join them despite completing a medical.
An Everton fan called into talkSPORT recently and absolutely eviscerated Everton and the way they conducted business in the summer window.
He called Kinnear a ‘disaster’ and said: “This Angus Kinnear, honest to God, if I can get my hands on him right now—oof!
“He is an absolute disaster.”
BBC journalist Phil McNulty said: “Everton’s shambolic end to the transfer window has resulted in open revolt from supporters that places fierce scrutiny on owners The Friedkin Group and chief executive Angus Kinnear.”
Henry Winter revealed that the Everton fans’ group have demanded that Kinnear explain the club’s actions this summer.
An Everton fan has called for his sacking on X and wrote: “Angus Kinnear needs to go. Poor planning, slow negotiations, missed targets and a lack of urgency. This transfer operation has been shocking.
“Resign or be sacked. Everton deserve better.”
Leeds fans do not remember him fondly
The Whites supporters didn’t admire the way Kinnear departed Elland Road and then poached staff from the Leeds backroom last year.
However, they also do not have fond memories of their former sporting director, as they had similar complaints about him as Everton supporters.
He was often accused of dragging his feet in negotiations, and Leeds supporters often felt that he was not matching the expectations of what the club should be.
They won’t be surprised by the problems Everton fans are having with him at the moment.
