No, I like him but he's never even played a full season at that spot. Ideally he'd be playing next to a world class DM
Liverpool FC @LFC 2h2 hours ago #LFC are pleased to announce that goalkeeper Danny Ward has agreed a new long-term contract. This Is Anfield @thisisanfield 4h4 hours ago NEW: Liverpool offer new contract and first team chance to Tiago Ilori This Is Anfield @thisisanfield 32m32 minutes ago Javier Manquillo set to leave Liverpool this summer, Benfica linked with move Really wish Javier would have gotten a better shot. Maybe he slept with Brenda's girlfriend.
The rumor I heard that if Maquillo played a certain amount of games Liverpool had to purchase him which is why he just dropped out of contention all of a sudden. Would be awesome if Ilori could steal Skrtel's job.

Mignolet Clyne-Skrtel-Sakho-Moreno Can Milner-Hendo Firmino-Coutino Sturridge/Bacca I could live with that.
To be fair that's not true, come on over to the Cubs or Blackhawks thread and you'll see I don't shit on everything.

LFC Globe@LFCGlobe 19m19 minutes ago Personal terms should not be an issue: club have offered Firmino £90k a week with a wage review two years into the contract.
Echo confirming http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/spor...ws/liverpool-fc-agree-roberto-firmino-9510722 It is now understood a deal has been agreed in principle with both the player and his club although Firmino will require a work permit before he can complete his deal to Anfield. The ECHO understands the Reds are confident of meeting those requirements however. It is believed the deal will make the 23-year-old the Reds’ second most expensive player ever, with a fee in the region of £25m-£30m.
Andrew Beasley @BassTunedToRed 6m6 minutes ago Probably a less known Firmino fact... He made more successful tackles than any other AM/FW in Europe's top 5 leagues
Tony Barrett@TonyBarretTimes 5m5 minutes ago Ian Ayre has travelled to Chile as Liverpool close in on a £29m deal to sign Roberto Firmino.
So much money in our attack, scared to see how Brendan is gonna screw it up Probably make it a lottery every week to see who plays between Marko, Firmino, Ibe, Lallana (predicting we sell Heem)

Shame we already got Ings and have a shitload of strikers in general. Since I'm assuming we're somewhat familiar with Hoffenheim, I wouldn't have minded us taking a shot at Volland.
More signings to come after Liverpool net Firmino Liverpool's £29million deal to bring Brazil forward Roberto Firmino to Anfield will not impact on further summer spending or change their stance on want-away winger Raheem Sterling. Press Association Sport understands the Reds will pay 30million euros (about £22million) for the Hoffenheim player with add-ons likely to make the 23-year-old the club's second most expensive signing in their history, after the £35million purchase of Andy Carroll in January 2011. Firmino, who will undergo a medical after his involvement in the Copa America is over, has agreed a five-year contract with the Reds after chief executive Ian Ayre flew out to Chile on Wednesday and the deal was finalised overnight. The money for Firmino was outlined as planned summer transfer spending and the club do not have to sell Sterling, for whom Manchester City's second £40million offer was rejected earlier this month as they value him at £50million-plus, in order to balance the books. They still have funds left for another centre-forward, with their sights set on Sevilla's £20million-rated Colombia striker Carlos Bacca and Zenit St Petersburg's Venezuelan Salomon Rondon, valued about £15million, who have both been in action at the Copa America. Ayre is scheduled to remain in Chile for at least another 24 hours but Liverpool already had staff present at the tournament and they still retain interest in the South Americans after refusing to consider Aston Villa's £32.5million release clause for Christian Benteke. Liverpool are also remaining patient in their pursuit of Southampton's England right-back Nathaniel Clyne, having already had a £10million bid turned down, as the recruitment programme aimed at regaining Champions League football continues. Firmino is Liverpool's fifth signing of the close-season having already recruited Burnley's England Under-21 striker Danny Ings, Manchester City midfielder James Milner, Charlton defender Joe Gomez and Bolton goalkeeper Adam Bogdan. The Brazilian spent four and a half years in Germany, scoring 47 goals in 151 appearances with four goals in nine internationals, including Sunday's Copa America winner against Venezuela. Manager Brendan Rodgers will hope Firmino, who made his professional debut for Figueirense at the age of 17 in October 2009 but left for Germany just over a year later, can bring more goals to his side. Main striker Daniel Sturridge was injured for most of last season and so their top scorer with 13 was Steven Gerrard, who has now left to join Major League Soccer side Los Angeles Galaxy, with Sterling next-best on 11.
Signing for the future. He'll go out on loan. I love these types of signings though. These are the English players we should be buying, players that are 16-20 because if they show even the smallest inkling of talent you can sell them for profit a few years later.
