Graham Smyth took to Twitter to alert Leeds United fans of how manager Daniel Farke answered when asked about the impending signing of Karl Darlow – and the German gaffer provided a simple seven-word response.
Darlow, 32, is believed to be our second signing of the summer, and social media speculates that he could be unveiled on Friday. It comes after he returned this week from Newcastle’s pre-season tour of the United States.
Eddie Howe’s team has agreed to a cost of £400,000. He is believed to be the first choice, which means Illan Meslier will be out. If a cost can be agreed upon, he may return to his home nation this season.
Darlow is therefore likely to be a Leeds player by the time we face Hearts this weekend. Farke was queried about the incoming goalkeeper by Smyth, and his reaction was brief: “And, Karl Darlow is a good goalkeeper.”
When asked about the Leeds signing, Daniel Farke responds. Darlow, Karl
Darlow is a bargain at £400,000. Without a doubt. A goalkeeper with Premier League quality, in his gloves. He is a smart signing from Leeds and easily value for money – especially, judging by his impressive loan at Hull last season.
Now, the focus most switch quickly. Farke outlined the need for central defenders and full-backs ahead of the new season. Leeds could also do with another midfielder, and a no.10. Joe Gelhardt played in the role, at least to start.
Darlow joining at least gives Leeds a solution between the sticks, and makes it clear the club are looking to sell Illan Meslier. He needs to go, and many believe it is his time. Darlow is a solid replacement for a cheap price, hopefully.
