Barrett saying we've bid 32M for Alex Teixeira...

[keniget]

As in the price?

A big money signing completely out of the blue.

On the subject of Brazilians and Shaktar... wonder if there was any chance of getting Costa.

 

[keniget]

I always thought he was the pick of the Brazilians at Shakthar - better than both Douglas Costa and Willian.

I think you can rely on us to pick up the dud of the three.

[Best Believe It]

Will Teixeira be able to play in the Europa League?

If there were we sure did squander it good..

 

[Skullflower]

3 goals into the video. fucking sign him.

Judging from that clip alone he is like a Brazilian Aguero with a bit of Romario on top?

I think we need that.

 

[Red Astaire]

Well, that's that then.

Shame, it would have been nice to have a midfielder who knows where the back of the net is.

Haha! Have faith mate!

The amount of time and space he's afforded in that league is ridiculous. He'll obviously have to adapt to the greater pace here, but he's a clever player.

I don't think it will be a real issue as long as he can bring his Nitro Boots.

Douglas Costa has literally been flying past defenders all Season for Bayern like as if they weren't even there. This lad seems to possess the same insane explosive pace.

It seems Klopp is initially intent on sorting the three behind the striker as a route to making the team as a whole more of a goal threat.

A Coutinho-------Firmino------------Teixeira would be pretty tasty with Ibe/Lallana as back-up.

If so, the links to Long (as a short-term solution) make sense. He'd stretch defences and make space for the three far more than Benteke or an unfit Sturridge.

Good, because the lack of output from those three positions is our biggest issue Imo.

It's probably too windy here?

Apparently to avoid a bidding war we and Chelsea have decided Teixeira

That doesn't even work dude, you know, with him being male.

That joke wasn't remotely funny the first time.

That's exactly why its so funny the second time!

Plenty saying it's pretty certain he'd struggle for a work permit (no Brazil caps) but we're confident of an appeal.

 

[hmmmmm1]

Never seen him play but heard good things about him, that said heard same about frim and its taking him time to adjust.

It's certainly given me a lift.

 

[manwithnoname]

OK, does anyone know anything about him beyond YouTube?

Is he fast? Where does he play? Because it does seem as if we will have more no. 10 attacking midfielders than any other team on the planet, and he plays behind a striker at his current club too, and always has.

We don't need another attacking midfielder, although it does look as if he's better than any we currently have, so that's good.

Me too mate.. Let this happen.

 

[mark1975]

He's been linked to Chelsea for yonks. This would be a statement of intent

So was Markovic though

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

Sounds like his scoring rate has gone up since he dropped back deeper. Would he be more likely to take Henderson or Can's position than Lallana or Firmino?

 

[manwithnoname]

Yeah, but this bloke has actually scored lots of goals
