Velkommen.

Leeds United have confirmed that a £2.5m deal for versatile full-back Isaac Schmidt has concluded their summer transfer window activity.
The 24-year-old flew into England on deadline day after saying farewell to Swiss Super League side St Gallen with a goal in their Europa Conference League draw with Trabzonspor on Thursday night.

Schmidt has signed a four-year contract at Elland Road and is expected to provide back-up and competition for both Junior Firpo and Jayden Bogle, alongside Sam Byram. But Schmidt's versatility has allowed him to play in almost every outfield position in a career that began with Lausaane-Sport in his native Switzerland.


A club statement confirmed the deal and that there will be no further incoming or outgoing business in the final half an hour of the window. Leeds entered the final eight days with a desire to add four players to Daniel Farke's ranks and Schmidt completes the quartet. A hope of adding a fifth, in an offensive position, dwindled away as the last day of the window progressed.

The statement read: "Leeds United are delighted to announce the signing of Isaac Schmidt from Swiss Super League side St. Gallen. The 24-year-old joins the club in a permanent deal, agreeing a four-year contract until the summer of 2028. Offering versatility to Daniel Farke's side with his ability to play in a number of positions, primarily a full-back, Schmidt can operate on either side of the pitch in defensive areas, as well as further forward.

"Our latest signing has received international recognition early in his career as well, having been capped twice for Switzerland Under 20s, with matches coming against Portugal and England. Everyone at Leeds United would like to welcome Isaac to Elland Road, where he will now wear the number 33 shirt. The club's second signing of transfer deadline day, and eighth overall throughout the summer, his arrival concludes the incomings and outgoings at Elland Road." Leeds will count it as a win that they managed to keep hold of Willy Gnonto, despite interest and a bid from Everton this summer. The club remained confident in the final week that they would not lose any further key players and the only question mark lingered over Joe Gelhardt, who might have been permitted to seek a loan exit had Leeds brought in another forward. A bid for Gustavo Hamer of Sheffield United fell short at the start of the week and Leeds say they did not return to the negotiating table despite reports of a cash plus Joel Piroe offer from the Sheffield Star. Interest in Roland Sallai of SC Frieburg did not translate to an agreement with the Bundesliga club for the Hungarian international. The Whites could hand debuts to new signings Largie Ramazani, Manor Solomon and Ao Tanaka on Saturday when Hull City visit Elland Road, but Schmidt's arrival was too late for him to be registered in time to play.

At dette er en spiller som kan benyttes 'over alt' viser denne grafen (sikkert fra Transfermarkt) - han har spilt mest venstreback og høyreving

Vår nye Stuey Dallas.

Han har jo spilt AM. Vår nye 10-er? 

Velkommen!

Så forfriskende å se et første intervju som ikke er copy & paste i svar. Svarer i stedet for de samme utgåtte flosklene, om sine verdier og hvorfor Leeds passer disse.

Virker som en fin type og bra med en anvendelig spiller. Noen fantastiske scoringer har han også i seg.

[Cannavaro]

Dette her syns jeg er en spennende signering. Veldig allsidig, har god fart og teknikk. Har en god skuddfot (høyra) og herlig offensivt driv. Kan sikkert brukes i forskjellige roller, men spennende som høyre back vil jeg anta. Tror absolutt Isaac kan tilføre laget noe. Godt jobbet med å identifisere ham og få han signert !

Virker som en spennende signering, dette her. Velkommen til Leeds, Isaac .

Dagens presser var også første sjanse å få spurt Farke om Isaac Schmidt:

Farke on Isaac Schmidt
Great guy, still a really good age, on his way up the hill in his career. Desperate to play for the shirt, great mentality. The lads love him already, but you have to keep a bit in mind, he has not played in one of the top five leagues in Europe. The Premier League for me is the best in the world, but the Ch'ship is the toughest with the load and physicality. We will give him time to adapt to this. We have some proper options in the full-back position. He's an important squad player, we will bring him to the door, work with him, lift his potential and it's up to him to grab it with both hands. He has lots of potential and also a great mentality, character, lots of competition for him.

Flott at Schmidt tålmodig venter på sin sjanse - ser for meg at Leeds-Live kan ha rett om det blir PL til høsten...

Isaac Schmidt breaks silence on Leeds United game time and what club have told him
The Swiss defender has barely featured at all this season for Daniel Farke's side

Isaac Schmidt says he is waiting for his chance to show everyone at Leeds United what he is capable of, after suggesting he is happy to bide his time and wait for a chance. The Leeds defender has been something of a bit-part player this season in Daniel Farke's team and often a forgotten man in the squad.

Signed from St Gallen for £2.5m last summer on a four-year contract, there was hope Schmidt would be a useful addition to the Leeds squad in an area which needed strengthening, but instead he has played less than 30 minutes across the whole season.

While that may be the case, it hasn't stopped the defender earning a first call up to the Swiss national team this week, with the Whites man pushing for a place in he team to take on Northern Ireland and Luxembourg. Speaking to the Swiss media from the team's training base, Schmidt has spoken about his lack of game time at Leeds, with no suggestion he is worrying too much at this stage about a lack of minutes.


"The club showed me clear prospects and made it clear to me that they see my potential as a regular starter," he said. "It takes time to establish yourself at a club like (Leeds). I'm waiting for my chance."


While that may be the case, should Leeds get promoted to the Premier League this year, Schmidt may find game time even harder to come by with Farke so far not trusting the player to feature in the Championship, and with a big recruitment drive expected if Leeds do win promotion.

På tur til Werder Bremen. Lån hele sesongen med opsjon på kjøp. Pris 3,5 mill pund. Ferdig hos oss, ble et bomkjøp.

Eller så kan man si at han var en nødvendig og bra back-up i jakten på PL, og da er jo oppdraget fullført til godkjent.

I den grad 70 minutter i løpet av 46 kamper anses å være et bidrag, så har du vel rett.

Kjøpet var fornuftig da det ble gjort, det gav oss en grei back up i flere posisjoner. Han har ikke blitt benyttet så mye fordi vi har unngått de store skadene. I tillegg har han nok ikke holdt nivået, og kanskje har han ikke vist godt nok igjen i treningshverdagen. Har aldri vært noen favoritt hos Farke, og det spekuleres i om dette var en signering som ikke nødvendigvis ble godkjent av manageren.

Hvis vi ca. får det samme igjen som vi gav er det helt i orden. Dog er det jo lån med opsjon, og jeg tviler på at Werder Bremen kjøper ham etter sesongen.

Sportslig var han aldri noen suksess, det er vel alle enige om.

[GeirO]

Var jo litt fint for han å score fem minutter inn i debuten.

[HåvardK]

Schmidt grep absolutt ikke sjansen når han fikk den. Allikevel syns jeg vi så spor av en brukbar spiller i glimt. Håper han slår til i Tyskland.
