It's on the official site now:Originally posted by Barnie7 View PostLiverpool have confirmed the signing of Uruguay international Sebastian Coates on a long-term contract.
The 20-year-old completed his transfer from Nacional after passing a medical and securing a work permit earlier today.
Coates will now link up with his international teammates ahead of their friendly in Kiev on Friday night.
"That's how I found myself on the Kop that day I had my blue-and-white scarf safely tucked away inside my coat as I listened to Liverpool songs and swayed with the masses.
Then City scored and I screeched and this big bloke, a Liverpool supporter, made towards me and I thought he was going to throttle me. But he just pulled my scarf from under my coat so it lay on the outside, and said: "You should always be proud of your colours, lad."

Davy, can you find, edit down and post the appropriate piece of music/concert footage please?Originally posted by little dave hedgehog View Post<3..
Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
May the Lord bless this post.

So long as he comes back fit and healthy, fingers crossed, very interested to see how he fares in the Prem, looking forward to seeing his style of defending.Originally posted by Shaggy View PostTypical as soon as we sign him he's got to **** off on international duty.
Seems the perfect build for a man of his height, not to heavy and not to lanky skinny, should be a good athlete.

Coates: Suarez key to deal
30th Aug 2011 - Latest News
Sebastian Coates today revealed how Luis Suarez's love for Liverpool fans helped convince him to sign for the Reds.
The 20-year old Uruguay international put pen to paper on a long-term deal at Melwood on Tuesday evening after finalising his transfer from Brazilian outfit Nacional - and immediately hailed Suarez's contribution in securing his Anfield arrival.
"Luis told me a lot about Liverpool - but about the fans more than anything else," said Coates, in an exclusive interview with Liverpoolfc.tv. "He told me how passionate they are about the club and how supportive they are.
"I saw that myself on Saturday when the fans really got behind their side against Bolton and that was great to see.
"Luis also told me about the history and the tradition of the club and now I feel very happy and excited to be here because I have left one great club in Nacional and signed for another great club with a fantastic history.
"To come to such a big club alongside a fellow countryman is very important for me. I know Luis will help me settle in, we have the same cultures and customs so having him around will help me a lot."
Coates and Suarez celebrated success on the international stage in the summer as Uruguay landed the Copa America - with our latest signing being named the Young Player of the tournament in Argentina.
Having tasted success with his country, he's now setting his sights on helping Liverpool land silverware over the coming years.
"You always want to win everything as a player but in my case I know I have to take things step by step," he added. "I have to train hard ad be ready to get out onto the field and play.
"I want to win as much as I can in a Liverpool shirt and that means the league title and any cup competitions we take part in. We have to set our sights high."
Coates has already experienced the Anfield atmosphere after watching the weekend victory over Bolton from the Director's Box - but he's hoping to spend more time on the pitch than in the stands in the future.
"Even though I hadn't signed I still wanted to get out there and play," he said. "From the moment I sat in the stand I wanted to be out on the pitch.
"I know that when I do get the chance to play I have to perform to the best of my ability. I'm really happy to be here. When I arrived at the stadium on Saturday I was treated very well by everybody and I hope to repay all those good wishes in the future."Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’
