Apart from that one flukey season he had, his shooting stats have been around 7%, which is the same as Sterling 😱
He surely can't be being touted as a striker?

It's not meant as any disrespect. You so rarely fucking post anything that isn't copy and paste.
Studsup way of looking at stats is exactly the way the football world is moving.
The only way that percentage thing is of any relevance is if there's some sort of usage rate type stat too - like they have in basketball.
and wanks are great. What's your point?

Stewart Downing take note.
Yep. If he has a clause we'd have done well to agree terms then straight activate it.
Yep, this is my main concern, if we don't hear strong noises that this is all but done by the end of the week, I don't expect it will happen.
No, but they exaggerate about the progress of deals and then tell everyone they broke the news first when it finally happens..
Liverpool FC agree Roberto Firmino deal

Liverpool FC are closing in on the signing of Roberto Firmino – having agreed a deal with Hoffenheim for the Brazilian forward.
The ECHO revealed on Tuesday that a Liverpool delegation had held a meeting with the player’s representatives at the Copa America in Chile where he is currently on duty with his nation.
It is now understood a deal has been agreed in principle with both the player and his club although Firmino will require a work permit before he can complete his deal to Anfield. The ECHO understands the Reds are confident of meeting those requirements however.
It is believed the deal will make the 23-year-old the Reds’ second most expensive player ever, with a fee in the region of £25m-£30m.
Firmino, who scored the winner for Brazil against Venezuela on Sunday, has been in the Bundesliga since 2011, scoring 35 goals in 140 appearances for Hoffenheim, playing a traditional number 10 style role.
Reports in Brazil this morning suggested a deal was already in place and although that was premature, the Reds were hopeful of securing his signature.

The likely fee would place Firmino at number two on Liverpool’s most expensive ever signings, below only the £35m infamously shelled out on Andy Carroll in January 2011 and ahead of the £25m spent prising Adam Lallana away from Southampton last summer.
Firmino will be back in action on Saturday where the Neymar-less team – the Barcelona striker is banned from the rest of the tournament – will take on Paraguay in the Copa quarter finals.
He is likely to start the game alongside his possible future team-mate, Liverpool’s Philippe Coutinho. who started against Venezuela and played for 67 minutes
