Roberto Firmino

But its just 22m pounds as of now, Will rise to 29m max. 40m euros makes it sound bad.

First decent signing Liverpool have made in 2 years

edit: Just read they paid £29m lol. Rinsed.

Remains to be seen whether that '13-'14 season with 16 goals was "an accident", but anyway, I'm glad we've signed him. €40m, that is a massive fee, though, does anyone know where it ranks in Bundesliga's records?

Bundesliga top deals:
1. Firmino> Liverpool €41m
2. Martinez> Bayern €40m
3. Gotze> Bayern €37m
4. Dzeko> City €37m
5. Gomez> Bayern €35m

It'll be worth it if he turns up good but a massive investment either way.

Would not look so terrible if he was French, right?

If you watch Copa America, you would know what i mean...  he's looked putrid.  Dat miss against Colombia

I hope the deal reaches 41M euros eventually. Because that means all add ins are active which indicates he's been a success. Gladly would pay that extra 10M euro to Hoffe

really, because of 1 bad game? neymar is quite terrible too then

think of all those Benzema misses. what a terrible player.

Has he had a good game for the past 18 months? He was poor in Bundi and, watching all of Brazil's Copa games, he's been bad all of those too. That's a lot of meh play for a while now... I thought Costa looked good the few mins he's gotten. Far more dynamic.

He is not even really a CF, but i guess he will play behind sturridge (when he is fit), that's the idea yes?

because as a CF i would take Martial over him any day

And you know this because you watch Hoffenheim weekly right

He's a left winger (preparinf for dissent lol), attacking midfielder, second striker. He didn't play CF for Hoffenheim.

1 goal in 2 starts is not bad lol and he has been great every time he played for us bar colombia, which was a nightmare game for everyone

i have never watched a full hoffeinheim game so i cant say a thing about his performances there

tbh if he was called 'Firminho' instead of Firmino all those people going 'who's this scrub?' would be pretending to have rated him "since his first season at Figueirense"

Lol what? He's been good for Brazil outside of one game (Neymar was awful in that game too is he terrible as well?) and he was poor in the BuLi? ...only one of its highest rated players by every metric available and most fans, but ok.

Here is a good game for you, and it wasn't even that hard to find and I don't watch Hoffenheim:



Dat masterful dribbler

anyway, farm him up, if he become a star we will come pick up him

by we i mean big clubs, dont be mad brahs

Dribbling stats in Bundesliga

He might be good, but average players dribble the shit out of defenders in Bundesliga.

Happy for Pool, I've always liked that club.

Who is Raffael?

is the bundi hiding a future goat that we have yet to know?

Also important to know where these dribbles are happening lol.

When Ben Arfa played every week he used to average like 8 a game because our off the ball movement was shite and he'd play so deep that he'd dribble past 4 players and he was still 30 yards from goal

Cheers Pardew.

Raffael, brother of Ronny, Hertha legends.

He's Favre's favourite.

Not a future goat though as he's gotten quite old being decent in Bundesliga year in year out.

he has 222 dribbles though, robben 178, bah gawd

so as soon as Liverpool sign him he is a scrub.
