So we were left caught short on that one! Not only was our second signing under 30 but we paid a million pounds for him and the man we expected to see wandering thorough the door today should be here by Thursday.
Brian McDermott has told Yorkshire Radio he expects to add a third signing by Thursday at the latest and it is expected to be Noel Hunt this time, Leeds earlier agreeing a three-year-deal with Crewe captain Luke Murphy.
Recently married Hunt, 30, arrived back in England today from honeymoon and with his Reading contract now expired, he is expected to link up with his old boss McDermott midweek.
You could always ask the clubs' new betting partners Skybet on what short odds they will give you on Hunt being our next recruit as today Leeds unveiled them as our new partners and sponsors of the West Stand.
