The six-week World Cup break could hand the people upstairs at Leeds United the time to address the current contract situation. The Whites have been known to announce new deals for players in batches, none more so that in the summer when Joe Gelhardt, Crysencio Summerville and Sam Greenwood all pen-to-paper on long term contracts on the same day.
