Firpo to Galatasaray

Let him go, not sure why he should have too much loyalty to the club or fans. He's been criticised pretty much throughout his stay.

He could be viewed as our secret payback maybe .... ?

Can someone make sure he gets to the airport on time, please - it's a bit of a long way for me to come! Good news if correct - don't care where he goes, so long as he goes. Terrible, terrible signing.

Agree. Firpo's going to go down as one of our all-time biggest flops. And I hope he knows that.

What is it with us and LBs? We cannot seem to find a decent one at any price. Firpo is the latest in a long line of failures in that position.

Funny thing is we seem to be having the same trouble finding a playmaker to replace Pablo, a striker to replace Bamford, a decent CB..........

I think it's taken a few years but we've perfected the ability to not find someone suitable for a position.

Now we've proven that ability for left back, we're extending that to other positions in the team.

Its been a total poisoned chalice position indeed. The only decent ones ones we missed out on were Rico Henry and Robinson for Wigan imo.

Leeds should never do business with them. Firpo should go play in the Arab league.

We could have paid Alioski what he wanted to keep him on our books, but we paid a king’s ransom to get this lump of lard instead. Have we broken the world record for the number of duds signed up by Orta? And how much was he getting paid to take them off the hands of their clubs? I find it hard to believe Orta could find so many useless players unless he was deliberately targeting them, and taking backhanders so clubs could offload them onto us.

Best way to shove it to them is to hope Firpo joins them.

He fcked us. Why not them.

Batty we’ll probably never know the truth behind Orta’s dodgy dealings, but I agree - why would anyone with an ounce of football nous have splurged countless millions on players from relatively minor leagues to compete in the most competitive league in the world, without having an ulterior motive? Makes my blood boil that he never accepted any responsibility for our on-field demise.
