Roberto Firmino

[marcus50bucks]

One thing that definitely stands out in the clips posted on here, ST and when I've seen him play for Hoff and that is he does lack pace contrary to what some people say. I don't think he's much quicker than Lallana if at all. Would still like us to sign someone who is more explosive to compensate for the loss of Sterling when the inevitable happens.

And redmike unwillingly stole his glory.

Yeah if he kept quiet he could be basking in stolen kudos right now.

Its nice to feel good about a signing for once, though I do fear we're going a little overboard.

At the end of the day, he's coming in and Sterling is likely to be leaving. Gerrard has gone and Milners in, Ings and Origi in, Borini, Lambert and possibly Mario out. So far I think its more a sideways move, a little more positive than negative, but is it enough to bridge the gap and get us back in the top 4?

As much as some will say they're good improvements, we're talking about Ings moving up a level, Origi moving to a new country and up a level, and of course a new league for Firmino. There will more than likely be a transition period for these players, my main concerns being Origi and Ings whilst Studge is injured/recovering.

I think Utd and Arsenal will be stronger this season, as too will City, so its going to be a big achievement to get back in the CL.

we are generally replacing dross or players past their best with others that can make a better contribution to the team so its much more positive than just swapping one body for another.
we still need to clear some dead wood/loanees out, and still need a beefy holding midfielder. then we might be able to hold our own against the mighty stoke.

I'm pretty sure we'll see another forward/ striker brought in as well. Probably one of Bacca and Rondon going by the reports.

This really is one of those signings people on twitter go on about us NEEDING to sign.

Pleased, although have absolutely no idea of who he is

That and a proper centre back and I'll feel a lot more positive.
