Roberto Firmino - signed the silky swine

[FoxForceFive]

Or if we keep the tiny bell end, sterling

If we were keeping him the yanks wouldn't be splashing the cash to begin with.

That's kind of my point

 

[Mystic]

Couple of things, if this goes through its great we are getting ourselves sorted out early, but its probably to soften the blow before accepting a Sterling bid. Its also great that we can attract one of the most sort after names across Europe without the Champions league, I guess its as many have said, pay the cash and no one cares.

 

[C/O]

Turns out I was wrong. Rodgers isn't the antichrist, he's actually a footballing Jesus.

 

[Buddha]

Globo the Brazilian newspaper were the first to say we were close to signing him so maybe it is €25m

...and apparently they are usually very reliable.

 

[keniget]

I wouldn't say he's that sought after so wouldn't regard it as some mad coup. That said, if we really are going to pay anything like 30M perhaps we're staving off any competition because it's probably over paying.

 

[mark1975]

Linked heavily with United since January.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Apparently Utd offered him higher wages but he chose us cos he thinks he'll play more footy.

 

[Red Astaire]

I can't get excited about this until someone tells me how good he is on Championship Manager

Where's Carheex or Rashid when you need them?

Maybe not madly sort after, but like Depay, he was one of those names that were on a lot of peoples list, its nice (if this happens) to be the ones making these kind of signings for a change.

Wheres the fucking youtubia?

And weve got work to do to get this to 100 pages to make sure it comes off.

Can we not just reduce the posts per page setting til it goes above 100 pages? Be a lot easier.

 

[Mamma Mia]

I'd be fucking made up if we sign him. With Firmino and Coutinho both at the club we could have a real chance at holding on to Wonderman.

Jon Fox is a fucking dude.

 

[Oncy]

If we do actually go and sign this lad and Illaremendi and Kovacic......
Well it would actually blow my mind.
We dont do that. We sign players no ones heard of.

This is what the big boys do. We piss about.

 

[FoxForceFive]

I think all our players should add an 'o' to the end of their names in honour of the signing.

Still need a striker though

 

[redhorizon2]

Is he gonna be a forward or AM?

Right back. Obv.

I don't Ingso.

 

[Red Astaire]

Funny reading redcafe's reaction to this 'breaking news' - They all seem gutted which delights me enormously. I've no idea who the dude is but by all accounts it's a 'coup'.....

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

I bet they're all typing with their sisters knickers on their heads. Inbred Manc cunts.

 

[Ryan]

Be lovely if we kept Sterling.

Imagine this Firminho guy turned out to be good. We'd have a front set of Firminho, Sterling, Coutinho, Sturridge, Ibe, Lallana.

Back to the days of swag.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Still only one striker. One who makes Agger look like he's built of Titanium.

 

[C/O]

This falls right in with my preference of signing players that have had a poor, shite upbringing. They always track back and fight, as well as being the dog's bollocks in most cases.

 

[C/O]

Not sure why I think he had a shite upbringing, but he probably did.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Looks too much like that tosser Neymar though.

Well Brendan's not going to want to go clubbing with someone who looks like Charlie Adam.

^^^ David Luiz' attempt at blocking the shot.
