Fuck it, it's Firmino

TepidT2O · « **Reply #81 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:41:45 am »

Well that escalated quickly!

£22m rising to £29m if we are successful...

Never seen him play, know nothing about him....

Wish him every success here.

There is too much positivity in this thread. I think we need some balance but Fordy is not available, so here is some balance.

1. He is overpriced. People were saying Lallana was overpriced but Firmino's stats are not significantly better and he will cost more.

2. Another player from a midtable club. Okay its a German midtable club and he is Brazilian but if his name was Rob Firm and he was from Stoke I doubt many here would be excited. For all we know he is another Stewart downing.

3. He doesn't have any experience playing in European competitions or at a top club.

4. He was wanted by Liverpool's scouting team, so its safe to assume he is no good.

5. He is not ambitious enough. If he wanted to win trophies, he would have gone to a club like City or Chelsea but he is coming to Liverpool. Why can't be ambitious like Sterling?

6. If he is any good, he will be playing in Madrid in 2 seasons.

7. He's not the prettiest person to look at, beyond the football.

Well done LFC.

I know nothing about him but I trust the posters on RAWK, and y'all seem very excited.

wordroam · « **Reply #89 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:45:12 am »

Wow - thats put a smile on my face. And how weird.

Saw him score in a tough not-very-friendly game against Chile at the Emirates. Came on as a substitute second half and had scored within 10 minutes.

Today is a good day.

Welcome to our club Bobby Firmino!

Just need to a add a nippy striker who can latch onto all these through-balls.

Well done LFC

Great news, welcome Roberto!

dast18 · « **Reply #93 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:48:29 am »

Brilliant! Shows intent doesn't it? Get the business done early for a priority target, pay the price, get it done without any fuss. Hope he tears the leage a new one, welcome!!

Initial fee #LFC have paid for Firmino is £22m. Rising to £29m. He has signed a 5yr deal. Medical after Copa America

Great deal.

Vishwa Atma · « **Reply #95 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:49:01 am »

Brilliant!!! Get in!!! People wanted a statement of intent... Well here is one with a bang!!!

Welcome Bobby! Great signing.

keyop · « **Reply #97 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:49:45 am »

Hopefully this is a sign of things to come, both in terms of the quality of the signing, and the way we conduct our transfers.

Welcome Roberto. May your time with us be happy and full of goals and trophies.

spifff · « **Reply #98 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:51:39 am »

Where is the picture of him leaning on things? This really is a very sloppy transfer.

And don´t get me started on the lack of bears!

firing squad · « **Reply #99 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:52:10 am »

I hope we end up paying 29m.

MikaelLFC · « **Reply #100 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:52:12 am »

Snapped under Man Utd's nose, get in!

Welcome to LFC lad!

RedAdwat · « **Reply #101 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:52:24 am »

Interesting one, not seen anything of him really so can't wait to see him action.

The best thing about this one was the fact that it just came pretty much out of nowhere and happened quickly. The way they seemed to happen a few years ago.

lorenzo23 · « **Reply #102 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:53:07 am »

Great signing this

Musketeer Gripweed · « **Reply #103 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:53:33 am »

Well I never. I will never doudt Sky sources, ever again. Until the next time anyway.

walshys_mullet · « **Reply #104 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:54:42 am »

Some ambition at last! Great signing. Now let's get the others in!

One question I will ask though... This doesn't feel like a Brendan signing to me.

tyrolean_red · « **Reply #105 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:56:04 am »

Credit to the club for bringing in firminio, milner and ings before the window officiay opens. Very encouraging start and a wonderful signing.

WillG.LFC · « **Reply #106 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:58:02 am »

We need a picture of ian ayre as hannibal with i love it when a transfer comes together

IAmZlatan · « **Reply #107 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:58:03 am »

Not been this excited about a signing since Fernando Torres. So so psyched.

thisyearisouryear · « **Reply #108 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:58:43 am »

Yess.. can't believe this!! What a start to the morning!! Welcome to the club lad! The greatest club in the world

wellred82 · « **Reply #109 on:** June 24, 2015, 07:59:41 am »

Been out of the loop last few days. So are we really in for another striker? Good to see us getting our business done early this year. Should hopefully have a decent pre season for a change.

paul211b · « **Reply #110 on:** June 24, 2015, 08:00:02 am »

Checks date not April 1st. Finally business done right.

Welcome the fans will love you.

Fruity · « **Reply #111 on:** June 24, 2015, 08:01:51 am »

Just heard about this. However can't read through until the mods have cleaned up all the semen.

darcy171 · « **Reply #112 on:** June 24, 2015, 08:01:53 am »

Chuffed with this. All the talk of strikers etc left me wondering if we were even interested in bringing another attacking midfielder into the mix (especially if Raheem.....no, actually I'm not going there). Seems to be a promising player we've picked up at a good age. Big fee, but not extortionate in today's market. Can't wait to see him in action and very surprised and pleased with how swift we were in tieing this up.

Welcome Roberto!

clinical · « **Reply #113 on:** June 24, 2015, 08:02:38 am »

Get in the player I most wanted last year. Along with volland and lacazette! Boom!

Refreshing to know how many on here watch German footy and have signed him off as a great signing

Its a great league to watch to be honest. Serie A, Ligue 1 generally puts me to sleep.

We can only hope he does not turn out like most of last seasons signings which were lauded to the extreme.

Refreshing to know how many on here watch German footy and have signed him off as a great signing

It's a great league to watch nowadays, I prefer it to La Liga/Serie A.

Just wanna commend Ayre, the committee, Rodgers and anybody else involved in this deal for moving so quickly and decisively. Last weekend no one was even sure if we were interested in him. And 3 days later he's signed.

He may work out, he may not. What this deal has done is increase my faith in whoever's running this club. That transfers don't need to be protracted over weeks anymore.

All 5 of our transfers have moved very quickly. That also tells me Benteke is very unlikely as well. Rejoice!

Or it has taken longer and the club just does not leak any more. Which is also good.

Amazing how the prospect of a holiday in Chile concentrates the mind. "Yep, Roberto, wages are fine. No, I do all my negotiating in shorts."

Not for one minute I believe Ayre flies over and then in hours the deal is done.

This deal has been in the making for a long time just that info hasn't been leaked until recently.
