The recruitment of Leeds United shows the strategy they have chosen to stand this time
After winning the championship with 100 points, Leeds is back in the Premier League. And unlike the new arrivals of last year, they will do anything so as not to bounce back.
Daniel Farke is in a way a specialist in the championship. The German manager won the competition for the third time last season, guiding Leeds to the title he claimed twice before with Norwich.
But there is part of the story of Farke who had to haunt him even during the trophy parade, and that is why his future in Leeds was uncertain even after winning the championship.
So far, whenever the Farke team was promoted to the Premier League, they returned directly.
The German hopes that the third time is really the charm and he can guide Leeds at survival. To calm the waters of the intermediate table, even.
They had a lot of experience in the Premier League which brought Sean Longstaff and a creative striker (on a free transfer, nothing less) in Lukas Nmecha. Their three other key signatures have one thing in common.
The defensive midfielder Anton Stach (bought in Hoffenheim) and the new central pairing of Sebastian Bornauw and Jaka Bijol (brought from Wolfsburg and Udinese respectively) are throughout 190 cm (6ft3 inch). Even the club itself joked during Stach’s announcement.
They will all help Leeds make the most of the parts.
They are not already foreign to success in this area. Leeds scored 11 goals just when turns last season, the most important in the championship. In the Premier League, only Arsenal has reached this number.
Although they will probably not be able to reproduce this at a higher level, Leeds hopes that their new signatures will help them maintain the contributions of the set objectives.
The data from the previous season show that it is crucial for the Premier League survival. The three relegated teams were among the worst in this category – Ipswich scored eight sets of set, Southampton Seven (spouse with Fulham), while Leicester scored new.
Everton, for example, went from uncertainty to security after scoring 14 fixed goals, which represented 33% of their total.
The Leeds recruitment team is clearly aware that some good cross near the local flag could make the difference in their season. And I hope to break the Farke’s lamentable Premier League record.
