Please do not derail this thread! Let's enjoy signing Firmino and let's enjoy me being in a positive mood for once!
I think you'll find it was transfer-related, in that it's bringing him and I together for a couple of hours so I can grill him on................................................... ****ing transfers
I have no intention of derailing it, despite IBWT's assertion. It's somewhat scary seeing you in semi-fanboy mode It would appear to be a very good signing and his name ends in 0
I'm ecstatic because for once, the club acted like a big club and did the deal properly - no using the media, leaks, going straight in with a good offer and getting it done quickly. Whilst I don't agree with the free signings we have made, at least we got them in quickly - which would indicate there is a new structure in place designed to conclude deals efficiently.
Fortunately there's a thread for it now so we can track ITK predictions - http://www.not606.com/threads/the-itk-thread.303976/
