He started playing for the u18 aged 14 and tipped to be excellent - another very good signing

"Tipped to be excellent"....by who, those who signed him, as if they would say otherwise.

All we have seen so far are moves to "bolster" and already bulging youth cohort and replace Alioski (and frankly Firpo doesn't inspire, despite him being a "real" L.

We're a few short weeks from a new season and I don't mind if we dint bring any new blood into the senior squad but I'd like to see signs that the clubs intends to provide opportunity to those we "invested in" nearly a year ago and who have done little but warm the bench since. (Either that or get rid and acknowledge that despite having one of the best academys in the PL were going to do the same as all the other clubs and plunder Serie A/Bundesliga etc).

Great piece of business.
Every investor is looking for the next smash hit that'll yield a return.

This 'soonicorn' signing will hopefully become our 'unicorn' signing.
Obviously a budding talent emerging and the beginning of a bright future.
Good luck to the kid & no need to question such a deal surely.

The club are addressing requirements for the now & future very carefully and are getting what is correct for Leeds Utd and by signing young players with the fundamental movement basics and helping them to develop good habits and decision making will give them the tools they need to go on and develop into greater players. Giving players the psychological mental skills to deal with their performance,to reflect and improve is another ability that is crucial to development. All great athletes are always striving to do better and need to have these basic skills and Leeds now is the ideal place to be a footballer.

Pleased with our recruitment strategy - get and develop the best youngsters we can whilst adding quality to the first team squad.

The young keeper has already played for England schoolboys I believe and was identified by scouts at lots of clubs his progress at Bradford confirms that.

Firpo was excellent at Real Betis so Barca signed him. Shows they rated him but he could force his way past Alba who happens to be one of the worlds best. Showed ambition in moving to get 1st team football.

He is young , fast, fit and athletic. He is supposed to have already impressed with his fitness levels so he could end up being a super athlete. He seems to have good skills too and fills one of the big holes in the squad.

CM or wide player look like the next ones we are trying to recruit so all good.

Look at Struijk and how he has progressed too. If three of Gelhardt, McGurk, Greenwood, Drameh, Summerville, Allen and Miller progress as well then happy days.
