Firmino

I use football manager for my knowledge of foreign players. Not a bad barometer tbh and have heard some lower league clubs even employ it for scouting!

 

I don't even want him at United

Paper linking us to players don't mean we have actually bid for them and they have turned us down Otherwise we have been rejected by about 50 players already this summer lol

Sky sources report that Liverpool have agreed a deal with Hoffenheim to sign forward Roberto Firmino.

So agreed with Hoffenheim maybe but we need to agree personal terms and with him being in the Copa not much chance of that. Fingers crossed though.

 

Hopefully there are no snags but GET IN!! Our biggest signing since Suarez IMO. Special player.

 

I've never seen the lad play (that I can remember) mate, he could be the bollocks for all I know, all I've seen are his stats.

 

so last game barzil played 4-2-3-1

willian coutinho robinho
friminho

being the front 4.

so coutinho in behind this guy

IS he going to play more right side for us or what?

 

Fee set to be £29m.

 

I still think we'll sign a natural striker. Coutinho and Firmino behind 2 strikers. Creating chances for fun.

 

And Kovacic in the middle of the pitch too

 

The good thing is he's flexible and can play up top or behind or wide so could be part of a 2 with Sturridge, or up top on his own with Coutinho/Ibe/Markovic behind or in the 10 with Coutinho back in CM.

Lots of different options.

 

Expensive considering all the other rumoured fees were just north of £20m.

Did you see his miss for Brazil in the last game... open goal

 

With Illarramendi next to him

 

Would still love Kovacic! Firmino can play up front or AM, Kova can play DM, CM, AM.

 

Really hope this is true...

 

Only question... can he ****ing actually shoot and get it on target?

 

The bitter tears of Man U fans and its hasn't yet been officially confirmed.

Man United fans try to brush off the news Roberto Firmino is going to Liverpool [Tweets]

Sky did a comparison with Sterling... his shooting accuracy was actually worse than Sterling's last year

8% I think it was

 

Hang on when I said that's where he would have played I was told we should be buying a "real" DM! !!

Anyway we are nowhere near him so let's think can and henderson as these cm slots

And don't be telling me they are too attacking as a real cm can play back there and can will.

Can will be our main man next year I hope

 

Apparently we're dealing with 3rd party owners which is why it's higher.

Ha I saw the miss - but I've seen a lot of 35 goals and 28 assists his last 75 games

 

Yeah we are on the verge of signing 50 players
