    Liverpool closing in on £40m deal for Fabinho from Monaco. He will be Emre Can's replacement. Interest in stretches back 12 months, there was an enquiry last year.

    Can play RB, DM or CM - I presume he will take Hendo’s spot though.

    24 years old
    Isn’t going to the World Cup

    £40m is a steal in this market!

    I'm playing commentary tongue twister over in my head '' Fekir.. Fabinho ... Firmino'' I'm getting excited and honestly I don't even know who Fabinho is <laugh>

    Me neither, but he's called Fab and he's an "inho", so how can he fail?

    Miserable sod. Stop being realistic when we're trying to look excited.

    He's nowhere near the Brazilian squad and they're hardly stacked for DMs.

    He's played in a league that doesn't need a DM.

    Not convinced at all. Monaco were ****e last season.

    I want Fekir and a GK.

    Fabinho <doh>

    He's been whored out to every team going since Monaco had their unexpected season. Now he's a 40+mil player. Mental.

    How?

    He plays in France where DMs aren't really needed and didn't make the Brazil squad.

    I take it you watch him every week?

    He’s a very good player - one of the best DM’s in the world IMO. Great positionally, calm and composed on the ball, physical presence. Exactly what we need.

    Re. Not going to the World Cup - I don’t really care. It means he has a full preseason with us and klopp can work his magic.

    That will be the number 6 role locked down for a few years.

    Bit OTT but but yes he's a good player and we need cover in that position. I don't think it effects the signing of an attacker we'll deffo go there at some point

    I think we’ll still get Fekir and one other attacker. <ok>
