But he's far far better than what we already have, more experience as well which counts, or ought to.
Nothing firpo does inspires me to think he'll be ok next season, nothing.

Junior pushing Rodon for the MOTM at Norwich, imo!

Arguably, our best forward. :lol:

Unlucky not to have gotten the winner

Our best forward denied a goal.

Also, Junior kept Rowe very quiet.

That pass for Summerville's goal.

Any other player would selfishly attempt a shot from an impossible angle, Junior calmly laid the ball back to Cree.

What I particularly liked about this was he had a look as he ran onto the keepers palm out. That was very intelligent play. He was impressive last night / very solid - as was Kamara.

Why I’ve always rated and love Junior, always there to back up his team mates if it gets tasty, and he’s Leeds through and through, the best and most cultured left foot at the club too…really hope we keep him. True team player that are so rare

He's stepped up this season.

But we didn't buy him as a 2nd division player.

If promoted that's when he (and others) need to prove people wrong.

Firpo has shown why Barcelona signed him this season though, it was for his attacking not defensive abilities.

Shot up in my estimation for that alone.

Which is why we bought him too, unfortunately that first seaspon he was rarely available
