Dirty Leeds

As expected Firpo leaves at end of his contract. Best of luck to him. Proper redemption arc.

Just watched his first interview. We've been in contact with him since January. He watched our promotion unfold.

Any good? Got some big units at back, hope they have a bit of speed also.

Don't know much about them other than YouTube comps. But this guy looks pretty quick. The other CB not as quick but supposedly very good. Both very dominant in the air.

Might actually score from corners this season.

We certainly need something at back as imo we don’t have anyone of prem quality.

What strikes me most about these new CBs is they seem to be proper defenders. They rank very high in stats across the top leagues when it comes to things like tackles, areal duels, interceptions etc.

Whereas signings like Koch and Llorente seemed like Orta vanity projects to me. Trying to find the modern jack of all trades CB.

Time will tell if these new boys are up to scratch in the Prem, but I trust our current recruitment team more than that whiskey-soaked Spanish fraud.

10/1 to finish top half, I fancy a ton on it
