A lot of Leeds United fans have reacted to Marcelo Bielsa’s comments in his press conference as he confirmed that after the signing of Jean-Kevin Augustin, the Whites were now done in the transfer window.
Bielsa asked Victor Orta to bring in a winger to replace Jack Clarke and a striker to replace Eddie Nketiah.
Who will be the better signing for Leeds?
Augustin
Poveda
Orta delivered him Ian Poveda and Augustin while Elia Caprile also joined the club.
This has received a mixed reaction from many Leeds fans, with some thinking the club should make more signings.
On the striker search: "We analysed all the options Victor Orta gave us and all of them were good. Finally it was Augustin who we got."
Says Leeds won't make any more additions in this transfer window. Business done.

What do we think?
Clarke only made one appearance in the league, and Poveda comes to Elland Road with high praise from Pep Guardiola, so he should prove to be a good acquisition.
Augustin scored 20 goals in 67 appearances for RB Leipzig before he was farmed out on loan to AS Monaco, where he had struggled.
However, at just 22, the Frenchman has plenty of time to get his career back on track, and if he can rediscover that goalscoring form from the Bundesliga, then he might prove to be a good signing.
Bielsa got exactly what he wanted off the board, and it is now up to him to deliver promotion.
