Junior Firpo signs for Leeds United

I've got a good feeling about this signing

Think something worth appreciating. There was other interest in Firpo (AC Milan the highest profile). Apparently part of the reason Firpo chose Leeds was that he was impressed that Victor Orta went in person, armed with presentations, and sacrificed himself to a five day quarantine period, as opposed to other clubs who tried to speak with him via Zoom.

Its all good mentioning his game time at Barca, but there are a few decent players that'll not be getting game time there due to their first team and the class off players they have!..

This just might be another Rodrigo/Raphael/Koch/Llorente sighning!..

Good luck to the lad and all the best for the Leeds united shirt!..

Yes, being second choice to Jordi Alba doesn't make you a bad player at all!!!

That's not a slight on the player.

The risk is just the last of game time means he could have gone backwards in his development. But he also might have learned a lot from being at Barcelona and Jordi Alba.

We will find out soon enough

Yeh, but he wont have lost out on development, he'll have still been playing in the younger teams, all he wont have is so much first team time but will still be leaning/training with the youngsters!..

Don't think once Bielsa and Co get working with him he'll be that much behind!..

Hopefully he sneaked Messi over in his suitcase!
BOGOF?

great appointment

every signing has its own risk

That's top notch by Victor.

As for the player, I'm excited he signed.
He was seen as one of the best LB's in
Spain while at Betis. I think I read he
played for Barca 41 times over his two
years there. Mainly cups. I've stopped
worrying about Orta's signings. Happy.

Excited by this.

Barca signed him to be Jordi Alba's long term replacement only two years ago, so he must have something about him. Maybe not at that level but could be great for us.

Disgusting and incompetent"
