Liverpool complete Firmino signing

Liverpool Football Club are delighted to announce the signing of Roberto Firmino from Hoffenheim, subject to a medical which will take place immediately following the player's participation in Copa America 2015 for Brazil.

The 23-year-old has agreed a long-term contract with the club.

Firmino will arrive at Anfield following four-and-a-half seasons in the Bundesliga with Hoffenheim.

The forward made 151 appearances in league and cup for the German club, netting 47 goals, after joining them from Figueirense in December 2010.

To date, Firmino has nine caps and four goals for Brazil - including what proved to be the winner in his country's 2-1 victory over Venezuela in the Copa America on Sunday.

Get in! That's simply put brilliant!

And as a plus, I won't have o sell him on my Fifa Career as I already been forced to with Depay and Vietto

pjshaun · « **Reply #6 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:06:03 am »

Get the fuck in!!!!!! This really is a massive signing. I've noticed real hunger in his game like Suarez whenever I've watched him play. This should lighten up the mood in the fan base.

Waaaaaaaaah

Get in!

A talented young lad whose style should be a perfect fit to us. Welcome!

Literally just woke up and went to check if there were any news, get the fuck in.

RedBlakey · « **Reply #12 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:09:55 am »

Great news, looking forward to seeing how him and Coutinho can push eachother on.

Packalacky · « **Reply #13 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:10:17 am »

Brilliant, can't wait to see him wearing the red shirt

Send them to North Korea and let Kim have another go on his anti-aircraft guns.

Was on an important site visit with the client when this message came in. I shouted " get the fuck in!!!". To say they got startled would be an understatement.

Get the fuck in!!!!

pjshaun · « **Reply #21 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:12:58 am »

To cheer you up even more, we still may well be in for a striker. And there's going to be an experienced assistant manager appointed soon as well. It doesn't get any better than this.

Wait the club targeted a talent, matched the selling clubs fee and players wage demands and actually signed him??

Town!

Zoomers · « **Reply #24 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:14:27 am »

https://twitter.com/Roberto_Firmino Get following boys!!! He had 19k followers just 5 minutes ago.

Severely · « **Reply #25 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:14:44 am »

Absolute aces. Can't believe how quickly this happened... Let alone the fact that it happened alone!

Caston · « **Reply #26 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:15:56 am »

Yes!!! Well done to the club and seemingly Ayre for getting this wrapped up so quickly, hopefully it's what we can continue to do going forward. Get the fuck in

rowan_d · « **Reply #27 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:16:24 am »

Never seen him play, pretty excited though judged entirely on a couple of YT videos and some Bundesliga followers who rate him highly. Christ knows what formation/lineup we'll be employing next season.

Just going to bed, decided one last Twitter refresh and fucking hell it's done (pending medical) and is on the official site.
What the fuck have they been feeding Ayre, this was done as swiftly as other big clubs do their business. Fuck me, maybe there is hope for next season after all.

Reckon we've just learned that when you're not in the CL, you don't have time to piss about spending weeks negotiating, as its just an open invite for another club to swoop in and improve on your bid. Seems we've paid more than any of us expected to, but if its necessary to get it done smoothly, so be it.

acezz · « **Reply #28 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:16:26 am »

Omg it happened so quick, am I dreaming?

fenre · « **Reply #29 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:16:34 am »

"Liverpool's latest signing also boasts a clean injury record, having featured in 33 of Hoffenheim's 34 league fixtures each season for the last three years"

As excited as when Suarez came to the club. Brilliant transfer.

Milner, Ings, Gomez, Bogdan and now Firmino. Three free transfers that fills spots in he squad we needed to address with depth, and then use the transfer funds to finance Firmino (and maybe one more).

Fordy · « **Reply #30 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:16:41 am »

MORNING GLORY!!!!

Fordy, is very happy about this!

jooneyisdagod · « **Reply #31 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:18:03 am »

Fucking get in. Ian Ayre, have a ride on your Harley mate, you've earnt it.

Zlen · « **Reply #32 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:18:43 am »

Incredible.
We've actually closed a deal for a good and sought after player quickly and efficiently.
Might there yet be hope for us?

Welcome Firmino.

hollger · « **Reply #33 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:19:42 am »

Excellent news!!!! Can't wait to see him and little Phil lining up together next season

Zoomers · « **Reply #34 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:20:11 am »

Also it has to said, this is a player who steps up against Dortmund, Bayern, and big teams in general!!

Passmaster Molby · « **Reply #35 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:20:52 am »

Very happy with this signing, it just feels right.

Welcome to the greatest football club in the world Roberto.

deadsetred · « **Reply #36 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:21:39 am »

My first thoughts are: he has a cool name.

His name alone offsets those of 'Millllllner', 'Ings' and, I stress, 'Bogdaan'.

edeyj · « **Reply #37 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:21:48 am »

Exciting signing.

Hope he brings the same attitude to the game as Luis (minus the teeth, of course) and it brings back the enthusiasm in the other players.

Looking forward to seeing him in the Red shirt.

RivaGe · « **Reply #38 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:22:47 am »

Wow that was fast. I have to admit though I don't remember ever watching a full game of his. Let's get Neymar now to complete a front 3 of Brazilians?

elpistolero7 · « **Reply #39 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:22:55 am »

No.

Fucking.

Way.

We've gone out and spent top dollar on a top player. Fuck me. What the fuck is going on. This is an outrage.
