Roberto Firmino is available on a free in the summer.
I think he's the sort of quality professional and an intelligent player. We should look to get in.


No thanks, he's too old and he's got a worse injury record than the Russian army.

It's a definte no from as well and even ignoring the teeth, it's still a no.

Whiter than a Brexit rally.

That's a bit harsh on Sol Campbell.

Nah to Firmino. It'll be like signing another Coutinho, and that's already proving to be like buying a vintage sports car: sometimes all the money and the fixing seems worth it when you're barrelling along at 150 with the wind in your hair. Will you get to do it every weekend? Probably not.

A 23/24 year-old version would be a great signing.

Aye, the Firmino at Hoffenheim - whoever fits that sort of profile now.

Probably that Leon Bailey guy at Leverkusen was the two-years-ago version.

Pedro Guilherme Santos has a decent scoring record after Flamengo signed him from Fiorentina in 2020. His initials are PWS so sign him up.

Pedro Guilherme Abreu Dos Santos, better known as Pedro, is in the mouth of several teams in England. The 10 goals and 2 assists he has achieved this season in just 10 games have set off the alarms of three British teams. Flamengo's Brazilian striker, valued at 20 million euros, could end up leaving at the end of the season. With a contract until 2027, the price of the 25-year-old player could easily be around 40 million euros.

Aston Villa is the main interested in Pedro's signing, which he will attend in the summer transfer market. Unai Emery's team shuffles several options to reinforce the attack, with several LaLiga players on the list, which Pedro joins. On the other hand, according to Ekrem Konur, another of the interested parties is West Ham United, which could face the signing of the Brazilian battering ram after the sale of Declan Rice.

To add to the list: Juninho, Benni McCarthy and, from my vague recollection, David Swindlehurst.

Was Swidlehurst the unfortunate chap who died whilst playing? Or am I thinking of someone else.

I would say yes to Firminho, I think he'd be a good addition to the squad even though he may not play every weekend. Klopp has indicated that he would rather stay which, assuming Jürgen isn't playing games, says a lot.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a CL team somewhere who might take him on...

Think it must be someone else. A quick search says he's still around.

I’d definitely have him and he’d fit in well to the way we play.

I’m still convinced we will go for Guendouzi but I’d also put in a huge bid for Rice this summer. He’s surely going to be off and I’m not too convinced any of the Manchester teams or Arsenal will go for him, but Newcastle will for sure.

Harvey Barnes career is kind of stagnating a bit, kind of player we could get I think.

I heard Benni McCarthy's name mentioned the other day out of the blue. Is he a coach at Yanited now? They were putting Rashford's form down to our one who got away.
