Roberto Firmino

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

I'm sorry anyone that can do that has a spot on my 23 man roster.

Just finished watching him against Bayern Munich. He didn't look out of place at ALL, had some nice dribbling technique and left Dante for dead twice, the last time leading to his goal.

He's not the fastest guy and doesn't seem like the type to come deep to collect. I was surprised to see he gets about 2 tackles a game because in this one he didn't seem like the type to get stuck in.

If we are seriously looking at him I would imagine its for the role we envisioned for Rooney, Schurrle or Eto'o. I think he can get the odd start at striker but is best suited in 4-4-1-1

He has fantastic feet and seems to be fairly strong as well.

I'd say sign him up!

I actually watched that myself yesterday as well! Shaqiri also looked fantastic and Pizzaro at 35 (yep, our Claudio) is still better than all our strikers.

Funny everyone forgets to mention Leandro Castan who had great season with Roma...

He's awesome... He came from my team in Brazil... Damn i miss him! But now he is too "big", kinda weird for me... It seens he's slower now than in his matches for Corinthians. I prefer the time in which he were faster and agressive like Marquinhos, Varane and David than Big and strong like he is now... Well, for those who can be both, better of course xD

Firmino made his international debut last night. About time too, what on Earth have Brazil been waiting for?

how was he?

[OhForAGreavsie 6,058]

how was he?

I'm afraid I can't tell you, I've given up watching international football as a protest against the disruptive breaks. All I know is that he came off the bench to play the last 15 minutes.

[LondonsFinest 692]

He is a gem, he is , for me , BVB's perfect replacement for Marco. And that control doe.

[OhForAGreavsie 6,058]

Followed up his debut last Wednesday with his second cap, and his first international goal, for Brazil in last night's game against Austria.

Again I didn't watch it so only know what I've read.

Apparently he is joining MU 3 days ago

http://metro.co.uk/2015/06/21/liverpool-close-to-completing-15m-roberto-firmino-transfer-5256841/

But then he is close to Liverpool today...

The interesting part is that it is said he will be a replacement for Sterling.

[iseah100 5,612]

Is he any good?

[nadavTKL 1,787]

Willian and Oscar are better imo.

Reason both of those are likely lies, is because it is the metro

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Why are we not trying to sign Firmino as our 3rd choice striker and potential starting 10 alternative to Oscar. Killing two birds with one stone for a fantastic young player. No, instead, we choose to go for the has been Falcao on silly wages. Makes sense.

29m?

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

41m €/29m pound to Liverpool done. bundesliga record fee.

I wonder how he will fit in. They can't possibly play Sturridge, Firmino, Sterling and Coutniho at the same time. Maybe an indication that sterling will leave this summer.
