Hmm. Not Neves quality going forward but he's a strong anchor. I can see Klopp improving him overt the season but non plussed.

**** nonplussed, we have four or five players strong going forward already and Fabinho has CL and title winning experience. Neves has the latter but you know, The Championship..

Until I see the Lean this is a smokescreen.

I bought him once in a previous FM game. I dont think I got fired that season so I guess he was good.

Is he quick enough though....

he's got telescopic legs.

So we've signed Paysan Paumier?

You'll need to do some gallic sleuthing.

I’m liking the buy now, monitor later philosophy

Thinking on.......our first "No look" signing. FTW

Who will be the first person to say "F.A.B. Virgil" when he passes to Van Dijk, I wonder.

Have a bang on this lads

They've had a thread on him for ages, basically counting the days til they sign him

Just had a peep at that link, and funny seeing the meltdown

But one question, why do they refer to Liverpool as "the dippers"? Never heard that before?

From Klopp's quotes on Fabinho, I really enjoyed reading this:

"What we have - in terms of our environment at Melwood and in the team - means anyone coming in must be of that build. They must be the highest quality person and player."

It thrills me that we can't sign a Alexis Sanchez, Mourinho etc. type person to our team, but have to go with some great personalities, makes the team even more fun to watch

Think it means bin dippers? Stupid manc thing.

Uhm okay, still not sure I get why it's aimed at us, but well now I know that much.

Interesting to see where Fabinho plays. I'm guessing DM. Lots of people on the site said we didn't need one, but I think he'd be perfect in front of our two CBs. All ball players, comfortable on the ball - a kind of split three i.e. cb dm cb, allowing our FBs more confidence to push up and our attacking midfielders to support the front three. A DM also helps us control games more (ie in midfield - something we've been lacking since Alonso/Mascherano).
