Personally I'm a bit sad about this and hope we don't sign De Bruyne for 40-50m or so, although I don't think this will happen. Who else, though? Apar from Sterling, are we really in for somebody if the Firmino deal happen?

You hope we don't sign the Bundesliga's best player last season?

 

[Chi-town blues]

Good player. We should have signed him.

 

[Daz_Blue]

Would he get in the side with Yaya, Silva, Fernandinho, Navas, Fernando, KDB, Pogba, Sterling, Wilshere and Isco ? :)

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Not better than what we have and not as good as our targets.

Move on.

Being slightly optimistic there, haha :)

Undecided on this one tbh. Could be a good sign on our confidence off getting sterling and de bruyne if we haven't bid for firmino?

 

[Neville Kneville]

Could never see the logic in us being linked to this considering our other targets.

Sky are wrong, Shane said he was nailed on to join us.

Shane stinks, his only sources are himself.

Shane stinks, his only sources are Bluemoon.

Edited for accuracy.

£29M ??? Where've they got that from ? :/

BREAKING: Sky Sources: Liverpool agree deal with Hoffenheim to sign forward Roberto Firmino. #SSNHQ

Hope he is there sterling replacement
So the deal can close quickly

It could be City have told Liverpool that if they don't allow Sterling to go to City then we will make a bid for Firmino.

I do hope so mate. About time we got a nasty streak!

I'd prefer to see us spend £40m and upwards on a definite first teamer than £15-20m on someone who we will use in rotation. We were guilty of the latter last season.

Is the correct answer. Enough Pissing around this is the summer we go for it. We are letting pool spunk their load before other clubs know they have 50 mil to waste. Stirling will hit the ground running for us where Firm will take a season to get used to likes of Stoke away.

 

[Man city fan 72]

I wonder if we've been waiting for this deal to happen before we can announce the Sterling One. I will be well fucked off if the pricks reject our next offer.

Firmino deal is not dependant on Liverpool selling Raheem Sterling but certainly adds to the sense it is a matter of when not if ...

[Ajm1985]

Stated it in the Sterling thread but BBC are stating Ian Ayre is in Chile to complete the Firminho deal...and Txiki and MP are still there

 

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

Isnt £29mil more than his release clause?....

Ian Ayre has travelled to Chile as Liverpool close in on a £29m deal to sign Roberto Firmino.

Hoffenheim appear to have left Firmino's agents Rogon largely to sort things, probably told them fee required.

He probably didn't have a release clause and that's why when he was United's the fee was significantly cheaper.
