While Leeds United manager Jesse Marsch brought in some great additions into his squad during the summer transfer window, there were players that he would've preferred to stay.
Fans and pundits alike were worried when two of the Whites' biggest names were sold for big money during the summer and they've spent it well.
Here's a list of how each player that exited Elland Road during the summer has fared so far this season...

Raphinha - FC Barcelona
The biggest sale of the summer for Leeds, talisman Raphinha looked like he was going to move to Chelsea before a bid from Barcelona stopped that move dead in its tracks and pulled the Brazilian to the Nou Camp.
While it took Raphinha a few games to adjust to the Spanish style of football, he quickly picked up and found his first goal involvement in their third game of the season - an assist to Robert Lewandowski in their 4-0 win over Real Valladolid.
He found his first La Liga goal against Sevilla in a 3-0 win and will hope to continue his good start in a Barcelona shirt further into the season after the international break.
Kalvin Phillips - Manchester City
Kalvin Phillips was sold at the start of the summer to Manchester City for a reported fee of £44 million but fans at the Etihad haven't seen much of that price tag go anywhere.
Phillips has seen just a single Premier League minute since joining the Citizens and has only featured in the squad one other time. He's also only played 13 minutes of Champions League football from City's two group stage games so far and now he could be out of England's World Cup squad with a shoulder injury.
Dan James - Fulham
Dan James' involvement in Marsch's plans have whittled down to him being sent on loan to fellow Premier League team Fulham at the end of the transfer window.
He saw less and less minutes being given to him before playing his first game in Fulham colours away to Tottenham Hotspur - a match which saw the Cottagers lose 2-1. He also played 20 minutes in their 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest but will look to regain his form before the World Cup starts in November.
Charlie Cresswell - Millwall
Millwall manager Gary Rowett has done nothing but sing Charlie Cresswell's praises so far this season as the 20-year-old centre-back has become something of a goalscoring phenomenon.
Three goals and an assist in his first eight games - including a brace against Cardiff City on his debut - for the club have earnt him a spot in the Championship Team of the Week during the start of his year-long loan spell.
Jamie Shackleton - Millwall
Alongside Cresswell, Jamie Shackleton has also been sent on loan to Millwall and the central midfielder has performed well in most matches.
Shackleton has admitted his aim for this Millwall side is to make the playoffs - something they missed out on by just six points last season.
"I know that Millwall finished just outside the play-offs last year so hopefully we can build off that," said Shackleton earlier this season. There’s no reason why we can’t go and maybe get a spot in there this year."
Tyler Roberts - Queens Park Rangers
Tyler Roberts has struggled to find the net for over a year now and unfortunately his loan spell at QPR hasn't changed much. He's not scored in the seven Championship games he's played in so far but did find the net in an EFL Cup match against Charlton where he was a second-half substitute.
Ian Poveda - Blackpool
Leaving at the end of the transfer window, Ian Poveda will be drawing on his experiences on loan at Blackburn Rovers last season as he takes on his next challenge at Blackpool.
He's only played more than 60 minutes once in the four games he's played for Blackpool but hasn't managed to find any goal involvements so far this season nonetheless.
Mateusz Bogusz - UD Ibiza
After struggling with injuries over the past two years, Mateusz Bogusz could finally be returning to the good form he was on before he tore his ACL playing for UD Ibiza.
Bogusz came back to Leeds for rehabilitation and went back to Ibiza to continue his loan move earlier this month, returning for full training with the team.
Leif Davis - Ipswich Town
Sold to Ipswich midway through the summer transfer window, Leif Davis has adjusted well to League One football as Ipswich currently top the table level on points with fellow title contenders Portsmouth.
Davis found his first goal involvement of the season against Shrewsbury Town five games into the campaign and has looked a sort at on the left for the Tractor Boys.
Helder Costa - Al-Ittihad Club
Sent on loan to Al-Ittihad Club, Helder Costa has played over 300 minutes but hasn't managed to find the net in the Saudi Professional League yet.
Kiko Casilla - Getafe CF
Signing to Getafe on a free transfer in the summer, Kiko Casilla has sat on the bench for all but one of their games - where he wasn't in the squad.
Laurens De Bock - Atromitos
Signing for Atromitos in the Greek Super League, De Bock has played every minute of every game so far this season, helping his cub sit comfortably in mid-table, level on points with defending champions Olympiacos.
Liam McCarron - Stoke City
McCarron hasn't played a minute for Stoke since joining them - instead becoming the first player since 1978 to be loaned from the Potters to their rivals Port Vale.
