Roberto Firmino - signed the silky swine

[Ryan]

A good player, that we paid serious money to, dished out the wages he wanted, against other clubs who wanted him, ahead of the window even opening, which Ayre wrapped up overnight.

Erm...

What the fuck is going on?

 

[DHSC]

Exciting!

 

[Judge Jules]

I've you take away the obligatory 'o' at the end of every fucking Brazilian;s name, then we're just left with Robert Firmin.

Sounds like a car dealer from Scunthorpe.

Sooner that than feckin "Firmeen-yo", which those blockheads on TalkSport have already started to call him.

MODS - CHANGE THE THREAD TITLE TO 'ROBERTO FIRMINHO - SIGNED THE SILKY BASTARD'

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

 

[Ryan]

Firmino and Adam Bogdan?! What a summer.

 

[leftpeg]

For a shambolic club this is all shaping up very nicely.

I knew youd be excited once he signed.
This makes me happy.

He's a lovely little runner though.

 

[jexykrodic]

Perhaps when this signing is complete it might encourage others to join?

 

[dee]

Sky are saying we are also in for Bacca and Salomon Rondon.

Or Raheem to stay?

It's bloody odd. I'm tempted to drink some whiskey at work.

It originated with the Echo who said they were the sole reason we were there, so either it was a smokescreen, the Echo no longer know their shit, or we've gone bat shit crazy. Seems odd when we've signed Ings, Origi and Firmino.

 

[Mystic]

Maybe the club was throwing a decoy.

 

[Rosco]

I'm guessing whoever changed the title might be a little bit more excited than they should be - Firming?

 

[Oncy]

Im firm

 

[Nir.Barak]

Loving this.
We really should limit our signings to the German market, we fail at every other market.

 

[mom]

Or Raheem to stay?

they were debating this on Talksport. Whether the signal of intent from LFC by signing a top quality player would be enough to make Raheem stay.
Don't think it will, personally. Firminho looks ace, but compared to the squad at Citeh and the money they'll be offering him, he's a goner.

 

[Rosco]

Is it not obvious we're going to sell Sterling now?

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

I'm a believer again.

 

[Hansern]

I wouldnt mind getting Bacca aswell.

Sell Borini, Lambert and Balotelli.

 

[Mystic]

Is it not obvious we're going to sell Sterling now?

Of course, but it's fun to speculate.

 

[Oncy]

But Firmino-Coutinho-Sterling

In behind Daniel Sturridge doe.

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

There seem to be a fair many who are chiding us on Twittersphere for overpaying an unproven talent. Especially gunners who are contrasting him to Alexis who cost only 3M more.

I can't wait for the Brazilian tranny to score his first hattrick in English football against Arsenal.

I think this will be it as far as striker purchases are concerned. We'll probably use him as the point man until Sturridge returns, with Ings and Origi as backup. When Sturridge returns, we then have the option of switching to two up again or playing Firmino behind Sturridge.

Wait, Sturridge won't be back for the start of the season?

To be honest, even with Lallana instead of Sterling, that's pretty damn good.

I think the answer is obvious:

He's going to be shit.
