Junior Firpo

[Kennyb41]

I'm curious to know how people jump high without using their arms, it was a natural position to take as he seemed to be trying for that extra inch plus falling backwards doesn't help ...Watching high jumpers, they always keep their arms high. The ball took a small deflection off a hand, really difficult to see at full speed...

Certainly not deliberate so never a yellow.... I don't blame him for the pen. I don't blame him for the first either, he just lost his footing, how was not clear. The two yellows were deserved and the fan base can cheer his suspension... We need our scapegoats, irrespective of worthiness

I recall Berardi getting this kind of abuse too from this forum...

Please tell me you write this stuff to generate reaction ?

He's a crying talking sleeping walking living accident waiting to happen.

All your loose cannons rolled into one.

According to Fabrizio Romano, several European clubs are lining up to sign Junior

Might work as a LWB in a back 5, but in a flat back four, he's a liability. Won't be sorry to see him go.

Can only push the price up

[JoeDenver]

There are actually true Leeds fans on Twitter speaking about great he is and how big of a loss he will be…all in hopes of trying to escalate the price…hilarious!

Hope that strategy works, though. Pawn him off as somebody else’s problem.

At last.... something positive resulting from our relegation.

up there with roque junior the famous brazilian centre back we bought years ago , who was about has much use as a chocolate teapot , another of ortas disastrous forays in to the transfer market . barcelona obvously saw orta coming with his dark glasses on and skanked us for ten million quid .

At last.... something positive resulting from our relegation.

I'll refrain from too much optimism until certain deals are completed. How different our history might have been if Dacourt had gone to Lazio for £15m instead of turning the move down and eventaully leaving for I think £1m to Roma, if Bowyer had gone to Liverpool for £9m instead of I think leaving for a free to go to West Ham. An extra £25m we looked like getting for those 2 could well have put us in a far stronger position to negotiate better selling prices for our other players or even been enough to keep the debts from spiralling long enough for us to get through it or re-structure it so we got through it.

[Cjay]

Utterly bonkers as it sounds is it looking likely that Farke has taken a liking to Firpo?

Hence the lack of a left back.

[GreennWhite]

Is Firpo still injured ? Is he even training in any way ? there has been very little info on him lately.
If he isn't even training or taking part in non contact games i would doubt Farke has him down as our LB for the season.

[The Subhuman]

AFAIK Firpo still injured, still massively under rated here and can still do a job... but I suspect reason one is why he's still here

Agreed. An easier (defensive) season in the Championship is just what he needs while marauding forwards. Him on the left and Spence on the right coupled with our front four is going terrify most defences at Premiership level, let alone here.

HMS Piss The League reporting for duty.

Firpo will do well this season.

I’ll admit I described him last season as one of the worst player ever to wear a Leeds shirt & haven’t changed my mind. Maybe offers a bit more going forward but an absolute liability as a defender, Max Wober spent most of the games covering for him so got pulled out of position, all I could see was someone standing with his arms at his sides & sticking his leg out. Never made a tackle & any he did try ended up as fouls, if we have to rely on him at left back we’re f##**ed. Just saying……………..

This injury update is for Kenny

Junior Firpo speaking with Mundo Deportivo RD:

"Right now I feel very good.“I have almost recovered from my last injury and I really want to play with the team again.”

Turning attentions to international matters, Firpo said: “I always follow a little what the Dominican Republic does in terms of sports. In the end, I was born there, my entire family is Dominican and for me it is a source of pride every time the Dominican Republic achieves something at the sporting level, which is what I dedicate myself to."

“We had a very good talk here in England, very productive in which I could see that the direction of Dominican soccer is in good hands right now and that it has a promising future. And yes, obviously they presented me with the whole project and all the ideas for the future of football in the Dominican Republic, as I said, it was a very healthy and good conversation."

"It is a pride and an honour that the Dominican fans await my arrival to the national team. But in the end I am always cautious with my words, I don't like to get anyone's hopes up or make promises and then not keep them.

"The only thing I can tell the Dominican fans is to trust in what is being done, the federation is in good hands and the future is very good.”

You can fecking say that again fella, getting my false hopes up since tha came.

[BlackHillsPaul]

I for one am curious to see how Junior Firpo might fare in the Championship in a Daniel Farke system.

[GreennWhite]

He didn't do himself any favours in the Premiership, but maybe, just maybe he is better suited to the Championship.
Lets see what Farke can do with him when he gets fit. You just never know, stranger things have happened.
