Leeds have finally conducted some business in the transfer market with the arrival of goalkeeper Elia Caprile, but for some supporters it is not the signing they had hoped for.
It is a rather strange move. The Whites already have two goalkeepers on the books in Kiko Casilla and Illan Meslier, and given Caprile is 18 years of age it is doubtful that he will be able to get ahead of that pair in the pecking order.
If he doesn’t impact the team immediately fans will likely be left disappointed given their desire for additions who will improve the squad and increase the chance of promotion.

As a result, many supporters have reacted sarcastically to the news in an expression of their frustration, which means the youngster is not receiving a warm reception.
If that wasn’t bad enough, some have responded to the news by bringing up other targets that have been linked with a move to the club, such as Che Adams and Andre Gray.
Supporters are very keen on those two as they could provide the goals needed to secure a top-two finish, and with the squad short on strikers it makes fans’ eagerness to bring them in even greater.
It is easy to see why fans have been reacting in such a manner, as the lack of an additional striker is a big concern, and really quite unforgivable given the fact the Whites now lie just four points ahead of the promotion-chasing pack.
Not replacing Eddie Nketiah, who was brought in to replace Kemar Roofe, could backfire massively over the remainder of the season, and it would be devastating for the fanbase if the team missed out on another great chance to win promotion.
A true test for any Leeds fan: Can you match these iconic images with the right results?
Other supporters have reacted with a mixture of happiness and anger at Caprile’s arrival, and it is intriguing to see how the club responds to this in the coming days.
Elsewhere, fans have been embroiled in a discussion about another interesting development that has taken place over the last few weeks.
