Leeds United
Fortunes have drastically turned around at Leeds United over the last few weeks. It was only some days ago that the fanbase complained about how the January window ended.
The Whites managed to sign one player, Facundo Buonanotte, on loan till the end of the season. But the failure to sign Jorgen Strand Larsen annoyed fans the most. Leeds had a bid rejected, before Crystal Palace swooped in to seal the deal before the transfer deadline.

The team then suffered a brutal loss at the hands of Arsenal days later, which raised concerns with other relegation rivals picking up points. But since then, Leeds United have gone on to beat Nottingham Forest, and this week completed a huge comeback to take a draw against Chelsea.

Business may have been quiet at Elland Road, but it was a very busy transfer window for a group of former Leeds players. Leo Hjelde, Joe Rothwell and Kalvin Phillips all managed to end up at Bramall Lane on deadline day. The trio joined former Leeds striker Patrick Bamford under Chris Wilder at the club. Bamford has been a successful signing for the Blades so far, scoring eight goals in 15 games.
Sheffield United have now officially submitted their 25-man squad list for the rest of the season. Unfortunately, Jamie Shackleton was left out after making just three appearances the whole of this season. He will not be able to play in the Championship till the end of the campaign.

Daniel Farke has squad issue of his own
Speaking of the January transfer window, Leeds United brought in Buonanotte as attacking depth after Jack Harrison left on loan. But since the midfielder arrived, he has made just two appearances and was left out of the team that won against Nottingham Forest. This has raised many eyebrows considering that this was a player the club had serious interest in from the summer.
Now that he has joined the team, he cannot even earn a starting spot. No one knows why, and even Daniel Farke has not disclosed why the midfielder has been limited to cameos off the bench. Buonanotte being an unused substitute in the draw against Chelsea will only confuse fans as to why the 49ers pushed for the signing in the first place.
