The January transfer window is underway and almost every Leeds fans are pointing it out on social media that goalkeeping position remains the one glaring hole in the squad ahead of the second half of the season.
Marcelo Bielsa has remained tight lipped on transfer plans, but surely the Argentine must be thinking of signing a solid goalkeeper after Chelsea loanee Jamal Blackman returned to his parent club in November following a broken leg.
With Bailey Peacock-Farrell failing to maintain the standards he set so high in the early part of the campaign in recent months, signing a goalkeeper has become a priority.
The reliable Yorkshire Evening Post journalist Phil Hay has said on social networking site Twitter that Newcastle’s Karl Darlow remains the club’s first choice target.
However, he adds that the deal is dependant on the price being right. Many Leeds fans want the 28-year-old to be signed in January, even if he doesn’t come cheap.
#lufc may not get a better chance for EPL. Top of the table 26 games in – w/ world class manager & injury / suspension list growing weekly.
Owners should see a low risk investment opportunity w/ huge potential upside. Be reckless not to push on.
Time and tide waits for…#lufc

Will be for number 1. No doubt in my mind.

Absolutely. Need a proven no.1 now to take charge of defence and to help BPF develop. BPF will be a good keeper in time but right now he’s just out of his depth

strange, alot of my mates who support Newcastle say he is a good shot stopper but cannot play out from the back and his kicking is rubbish

Well it does? Not gonna pay £10m for a GK if he’s not worth it are we! Lol so if Newcastle but a ridiculous price tag on him then obv it “depends on the price”

Why do Leeds mess about if we need a keeper,just pay the going price for that player , it would all be worth it if we get promotion
