Why odd?
Better than the Turkish alternative.... good luck Ali
Not sure Galatasaray are anywhere near Saudi Arabia's level on the "done terrible things in the world" list...
Not to mention that he's in the prime of his career and he's moved to a league that's probably the equivalent standard of the Scottish second division - pretty odd to me!
Rumours were he got a seven figure signing on fee and over 2m a year wages. Probably nearly tax free too. I wish him all the best. Last chance to set himself up for life. Been nothing but good for Leeds, on and off the field and is forever a part of our glorious history now
Early days for Firpo but far from convinced he is an improvement on Ali.
More importantly Ali as a player offered so much we lack atm.
Creativity, energy, tenacity, and a goal threat (Ali doesnt miss the Firpo chance ).
He also seemed a good lad to have around, i imagine training at LUFC is a slog and Ali was great for spirit levels.
We should have offered him more and kept him.
It would be great to have both with Ali coming off the bench. Firpo is starting to fit in and looks a very good buy.
Ali however is the epitome of a Bielsa player and formed a great combination with Harrison. The combo between Firpo and Harrison will take take to gel,
Un Marcelo Bielsa, solo hay un Marcelo Bielsa. Gracias Marcello. Marsching on together.

Come on Cjay,
Alioski was just as likely to find row z from there,
Hell, he did it often enough.
' "Football is about the people and the players,” he said. “Then there are those who will mingle in the middle: the coaches, executives and journalists. That last group represents the worst part about football" Marcelo Bielsa
