Leeds United boss Daniel Farke made his plans known very early in the summer. With the team going into the Premier League, he had a fair idea of the players who would make it into his plans.
So from the start of the transfer window some players knew their future. Others who were in limbo also knew their place when the squad for the pre-season camp in Germany was announced. Farke made very big calls, as he left Patrick Bamford out of his plans for the upcoming season. And when Mateo Joseph refused to show up in camp after asking for a transfer, he was also quickly sidelined.
