Wonder what they wanted with the old false teeth!

I've never seen him play so won't argue whether he's a good player - as genuinely no idea.Time will tell. I’ve never watched him and thought superstar. He’s generally average or just above average whenever I’ve seen him.
I don’t see a fox in the box, or great hold up play or pace etc.I've never seen him play so won't argue whether he's a good player - as genuinely no idea.
But his record in the past season or so is pretty impressive.
Obviously I hope he'll be a massive flop.

He‘s decent, but can’t see him being an improvement on any of their front 3.
If he was better than Mane I would have heard of him.If he is better than Mane then fair dues but I'd doubt it.
The speed surprises me. I’ve never seen him burn past defenders. Was it over 3 yards?Second highest speed recorded in champions league last season. Bayern's Davies was first.
Good dribbling ability and a threat in the air.
A definite improvement over Mane down the middle.
When they do the figures on Sky this guy will be cheaper than Zinchenko.

There was an analysis a few months ago of his play, and they said he was in the bottom 1% of strikers in Europe in terms of ball retention.Second highest speed recorded in champions league last season. Bayern's Davies was first.

His goals stats are impressive, but then Benfica have had players hit over 30 goals in six of the last ten seasons.
When you say better than Mane do you mean “no **** outside of 13 year olds who play FIFA had ever heard of him up until last week” better?
Last season yes, with the caveat that it's the Portuguese top tier. The previous season not so much, the season before that was in the La Liga 2nd tier...I've never seen him play so won't argue whether he's a good player - as genuinely no idea.

I think that was primarily because they went with 4 up top and Madrid had decided to hold onto what they had, rather than Firmino making much of a difference himself.Not played with him on Fifa 22 so can't comment. :)
I was aware of him the season Benfica signed him, as it was a big fee for segunda division player I had a look at him then.
Mane was shite down the middle compared to out wide. A big reason why the dippers failed to score in 3 finals.
Liverpool were much better when Firmino came off the bench against Madrid.
Unintelligible - thats all im gonna addtheres a bust potential higher than its normal for such an expensive player, thats all im gonna add
