Topic: Roberto Firmino

[Asam]

It might be the case that Firmino wants three years just like Salah and that might be holding things up a bit. I'm 50/50 on whether he'll be at the club next summer. Hopefully he is.

He just needs to stay fit and get back to form, no reason why we couldn’t offer him 2 + an option to extend it further if he’s doing well

He won’t be the pressing monster he once was but he’s still the most skilful forward we’ve had in years

[marmite sw]

thought he played well and looking fit ... very important player for us

[farawayred]

Bobby's back

Yep, and hopefully news of new contract not far away.

[Samie]

Roberto Firmino confirms he has no intention to leave: “I love this team, city and fans. I'm here at Liverpool and I want to stay”, he tells TNT Brazil.

[Hazell]

Samie, never thought I'd say this but you've made my day.

[afc tukrish]

Samie, never thought I'd say this but you've made my day.

 

More Bobby makes everyone's day...

[Ghost Town]

He said the same a couple of months ago. It's just that the transfer junkies refused to accept it and continued talking about our 'wanting to get rid' and his 'wanting to move on' and all the other blather.

[Kalito]

x2.

[Dougle]

I love him. Can't wait to see the first goal celebration.

[Xanderzone]

Probably is his last season with us as his days as a first XI player are at an end and there's going to be a glut of clubs on the continent trying to get him on a bosman in the new year.

I just hope he stays fit and gives us one last big contribution to go with his already stellar LFC career.

Have you booked his taxi as well?

FML!

[TAA66]

In reality the club aren’t going to offer him another long term contract.  He either walks, or they may give him 1 year extensions, which he may or may not accept. 

[No666]

He's already said he's ready to be realistic about money, so he's not going to be that difficult about duration, I'd have thought. Bit of a Milner situation - as long as the manager feels he has something to offer, he wants to stay.

[Ghost Town]

In reality, lol

[TAA66]

In reality, lol

You think they will?

[El Lobo]

You think they will?

Why would they give Hendo/VVD/others long term extensions but Bobby a one year extension? It’s bonkers talk

[TAA66]

Depends if the club feel he is past his peak, or can still operate at a required level for the next 4 years.  I guess they with VVD and Hendo they felt they could. 

[Ghost Town]

I don't know, and I don't claim to know. That's the point.

Bobby adds off the pitch stuff too, helping younger players settle , can teach them so much in training etc. Loved it Saturday when he was in the middle of the celebrations for Darwins goal.

Don’t think anyone is claiming to know.

Plus vital honing of their goal celebrations, priceless...

Changed your mind in 50 minutes?

[TAA66]

Nope.  Me saying ‘in reality’ means its what i think.  Just like the previous poster said ‘probably’.  They weren’t claiming to know.  Sorry if this wasn’t clear enough for you.

Even if his days as a starter of the majority of our games are over (and that's no bad thing, the criticism of the team a few years ago was that we don't have any depth beyond Salah/Mane/Firmino and we actually have that now), that doesn't mean in any way this is his last year with us. It just means we have a deeper squad and there's nothing to suggest Firmino isn't an important part of it. I can't see how it's necessarily a dead cert this is his final year here?

[daggerdoo]

He still offers so much in game. I think he'll be here for another 2/3 seasons, and as others have said, great player to learn from and not just in an attacking sense

It a depends on if he's happy to play that role going forward or will he want more game time elsewhere because he won't be short of suitors come January.

[Hazell]

He won't but there's nothing to suggest he won't be getting ample game time here, surely? Last season was a bit stop-start due to injuries but generally, whenever he's been fit, he's been part of the first team squad, same as Jota or Diaz.

[Linudden]

In the very unlikely event that every forward would be fit for every game I believe Firmino would get 12-14 league starts. If he stays fit he'll likely get a few more. The question though is: can he and Núñez play together? If they find a way to not run into each others' space then he may well get more. If those two will start together I think it's most likely with a very attacking lineup at Anfield against opposition that will just park the bus.

Obviously Núñez will be first choice given the price tag and the promising play from the get-go. Then what that does to Firmino's role remains to be seen.

What you think is reality? Wow, nice one...

If that’s what you understood from that i can’t help you…

[WhereAngelsPlay]

He says that he wants to stay & that's good enough for me until anything changes.


Whatever he decides,he will be leaving as an absolute legend when he does go.

[marmite sw]

he will stay he want to stay hes realistic ...hes a massive part of the club and i see him staying after his playing days are gone ...a bit like milner maybe coaching roles

plus alot seem to think hes on his last legs playing wise ive seen nothing pre season to suggest that and i thought he had a very good game againts city + klopp tells everyone just how important he is to the team .... he will staywe will extend his contract ... to many supporters today think lets replace without really thinking why ...why would you rid of a world class player

Fucking phenomenal...

Listen to Thiago a few times...

[CanuckYNWA]

Not gonna lie but from all the Inside Training, Inside Match Day, Celebrations and stuff we see of Firmino. I honestly think hes viewed as a massive integral person in the moral of this dressing room.

Really hope we get an extension sorted for him, think he would be a massive loss to this team.

And his song would be a massive miss in the stadium!

Remember… Klopp said Mane and salah were world class in training most days, but Bobby was world class in training EVERY day…

His professionalism goes unnoticed
