Leeds United cleared house in the summer, offloading a lot of players in the first team.
After years of being criticized for not being able to move on from players, the 49ers went hard in the transfer window.
Leeds were able to get rid of Max Wober, Jack Harrison and Isaac Schmidt among others.
They got permanent deals but only got loan deals for some first team players. Leeds will have to wait the next six months to see if clubs take the permanent option on some first team players.

Wilfried Gnonto, Lucas Perri, Joel Piroe and Largie Ramazani are all on loan with buy options.
Gnonto had to leave in the summer with Farke admitting he could not promise him. The winger has been speaking to Fiorentina media about his start to life in Italy.
The winger admitted that he needed to leave Elland Road this summer.
“I settled in quickly in Florence, that’s usually how it goes for me. I needed to return to Italy,” he said.
“Here, I feel at home and much more at ease. I enjoy riding my bike in the evening, when there are fewer people around, and I’ve already had a few instances where someone recognised me.
“It seems like everyone here supports Fiorentina. You run into Viola fans everywhere, and you really feel like you’re part of something big.”

What does the future hold for Wilfried Gnonto?
Gnonto has yet to score in nine Serie A games and at the moment, it is unlikely that Fiorentina are thinking of making the deal a permanent one.
The new coach seems to have found his formula in attack and Gnonto will have to work really hard to break in.
If he does want to make his return to Italy permanent, it will be down to him to make an impact when he does play. As for a return to Leeds, it looks very likely but as to whether he remains at the club beyond next summer is a different story.
