Roberto Firmino

[Patricks_Berger]

An exciting signing can revitalise me as well

I reckon something like Shaggy posted the other day.

------------Sturridge----------

--Coutinho --------- Firmino---

-------Milner-------Hendo-----

-------------Can-------------

Moreno---Sakho--Skirtle---Clyne

-----------Mignolet----------

I think that Milner - Hendo - Can midfield trio could be awesome for us. Three big physical lads, but mobile, loads of energy and running, and of course each of them a wonderful technician!

What I like about Firmino is that he is a "real 9 and a 1/2" ala Sturridge and that Uruguayan dude.

We're gonna play with two 9 and 1/2's again

He doesn't 1/2 talk some **** does Brendan

I can't believe it

Here's 30+ glorious pages on Red Cafe where United fans cream themselves silly over Firmino since March 2014 and all along assume he will be signing for them. LOL.

That makes for fantastic reading!

He'll probably turn out **** like all the others

Even if he does at least he has a cool name to strike fear into the opposition

And actually highlights how good a season Firmino had 2013/2014, it was very good, but what is missing from there stats pack that he makes tackles and interceptions on par with central midfielders like Henderson and Milner.

I've never seen him play

Yeah but you can tell by the technique in those finishes...he's a class act

Very impressed with the quality of the first post great attention to detail.

He can really strike a ball, much better then Sterling IMO, and only three years older as well. I reckon he could even step up his game with Coutinho and someone like Sturridge.

No midfielder over the past two seasons has been directly involved in more Bundesliga goals (scored & assisted) than Roberto Firmino (44).

Roberto Firmino has executed the most through balls in the Bundesliga over the past three seasons (27). So precise.

He's gonna be ****ing awesome

[The_weatherman]

I think the posters on redcafe ascertained that he didn't come out on top when you looked at minutes, Robben got 41 in a lot fewer games and Muller wasn't counted. But still, impressive and I'm delighted.

[The_weatherman]

BUT, we can't have two through balls specialists and a static striker so Benteke better not be an option now!

We need to look at a forward who can get on the end of these through balls then. Coutinho and Firmino now. Both specialists in that.
