BREAKING: LIVERPOOL AGREE FIRMINO DEAL

Sky sources understand that Liverpool have agreed a deal with Hoffenheim for forward Roberto Firmino.

The Anfield side have been looking to strengthen their attacking options and it looks the 23-year-old Brazilian international could be on his way.

Formerly with Figueirense, Firmino can play anywhere across the front three, and is currently on Copa America duty with Brazil.

Done

What happens to Balo and Lambert now?

Apparently 29m - I'm excited - closest to Suarez since, well, Suarez

Ballo needed to be shifted irrespective.

Lambert will find a home.

I'm looking forward to that fast, exciting stuff we played in 13/14 as opposed to the dross of most of 14/15

Seems more like a Sterling replacement to me.

 

[Neoprod]

Seems more like a Sterling replacement to me.

Looks like it...he could do well wide of the central striker.

 

[skinndeep]

He is brilliant, but it's all up to BR to play him properly

 

[Wall]

Its officially done, been announced on the club website.

 

[KOPITE]

Yippee!!!!!

 

[KOPITE]

Glad we got him before the mancs. I can't wait to see the great partnership between Coutinho and Firmino

apparently, 22m rising to 29m depending on performance.

Sign Bacca and Illermandhedi (sp?) and I'll be ****ing excited about the new season.

At least we can look forward to some fast, flowing footy again - none of that turgid stuff from the last season.

Coutinho and Firmino are both number 10 CAM... you want to play a 4-2-2-2 formation?

plus we have Lallana and Markovic who can also play in a similar position.

Welcome Roberto....hope you become a firm fan favorite at Anfield! Now the manager and the TC just need to round this off with the right central striker signing and sort out the attack at least for next season...

Interestingly, Firmino was a main target for Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga... the same Dortmund managed by Jurgen Klopp at the time; the same Klopp heavily linked with LFC recently. It is also somewhat curious that Firmino decided to sign so quickly for LFC with currently a no-name manager in european terms and no UCL next season, while there were other major clubs interested who could offer that and probably match or better the wages too... Unless there are certain assurances in his deal or he got a call from someone who monitored him closely in Germany... Like i said, very interesting; let me puff my pipe some more...

No thanks on Bacca I would say. Illara,yes please.

yeah, Rodgers is buying players for his replacement and not players who could potenially save his job?

 

[Wall]

at the right price, I'd take bacca but if he's going to cost in the region of 18m, no thanks

Yeah, that was a bit of a tin foil post.
