January Transfer Window - The Verdict.

[pauliewalnuts]

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.

I rate Firmino massively, I think he's been massively underrated for Liverpool and trying to replace him has played a big part in them going backwards. His versatility was a huge part of why Mane and Salah were able to play such a high line. He plays on the half turn a lot like the best Defensive Midfielders but does it 40-50 yards up the pitch, it's a weird sort of targetman role but based on intelligence, movement and quick passing rather than strength, height and aerial ability.

However he's too old and has had too many injuries in the last 18months. A player like him would be great though because it adds a lot of options for attacking play.

Yes from me for Firmino

Quality player would fit into our front three easily and improve prove it no end, an actual technically good player
He’s 31 not 35, some of you guys are off your heads

He's had 6-7 different injuries in the last 2 years and missed about 30 games as a result. If he was early 20s you might take the risk with that record but at 31 he's looking like a guy who will play 20-25 matches a season for a year or 2 before either stepping down to a loer level or hanging up his boots.

As I say I'm a massive fan and think he's been one of the best attackers in the league for years but it's a massive risk that I just don't think we can afford to take.

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

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

I would also say Kante of chelsea, who is contract expiry.
They are proven players who add bit of quality.

Yes there is a space in our treatment room.

In 2021 I started it on 3rd April.  After the clocks had gone forward.  Although why FV doesn't want to lower himself to start threads is beyond my low grade intellect.

Thank You.
But if we hear any signings coming in on a free or an agreed transfer before then maybe we can begin.
It's going to be a busy summer.
I think up to 5 new additions.

So that's no to Kalvin Phillips aswell?
Take him on loan next season for example.

I must admit I’d take Firmino.

Whiter than a Brexit rally.

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