'I just wonder where the goals are going to come from' - Newsome

Former Leeds United defender and 1992 title winner Jon Newsome told BBC Radio Leeds' Don't Go To Bed Just Yet podcast that he is concerned with where goals will come from after a slow end to the transfer window.
"I thought they did a lot of the business early which I think is all very understandable. I've never understood why clubs leave it until the very last minute to get things through when you know what you need," he said.
"But I do think they might be a couple, one or two, players short especially at the top of the pitch. I look at the side and I thought the game was a good performance against Newcastle and they put a real fighting display in but I just wonder where the goals are going to come from. That's my concern.
"You bring in Dominic Calvert-Lewin who I think we all know is a very good footballer but we've got to keep him fit. If we can and he starts getting minutes and starts excelling that's great, but I do think we need a little bit more back-up. So, I'm disappointed ultimately that they haven't brought anyone in."
Despite his frustration, Newsome clarified that getting transfers over the line isn't so simple.
He added: "It's very difficult [to get who you want], there are a lot of moving parts to a transfer and until you've got the player signed and it's all sealed, it can always fall down at any stage. It's not as easy as people think."
