Strangely, I see him as more of a box to box player - although he himself has said he wants to play DM and has spent most of his time as a defender so seems quite comfortable in a defensive / holding role.

Sounds wierd but I see him as a DM in the mould of Danny Agger if that makes any sense crazy He looks talented on the ball and can create chances which a lot of spoilers can't do - A German Yaya Toure type perhaps??? Jesus, we should be so lucky.

Just think we need to give him a solid run in midfield and hopefully he finds his place. I just think buying a player to take his place is jumping the gun a little.


I agree with this but he's still only 20 years old and should not be expected to solve all our problems in the middle immediately. He's too much like Khedira in that he likes to get forward too much to play alone in a holding role. Learning like someone from Martinez or Mascherano would only help his game.

Am I the only one who thinks we've already replaced sterling with firmino?

I think we've already spent the money. Can't see a big 25mil signing coming in.

Yeah, I don't think we have spent the money.
I think we still have £60m or so that we will spend personally.

I'd be surprised at that. But not disappointed. Although. It's a whole new squad coming again this season.

That's the problem, our "rivals" are signing this type so our next signing has to be someone top top level to prove we still matter. Benteke doesn't do that.


So what one of our 'rivals' has bought that type of player?


Schweinsteiger to United. Even if he's not the player he was, he's still a player that won everything at the very top level and a proper professional. We don't have this in our squad and it's one major reason for why we are falling behind.


A 30 year old who hasn't played a full season since 10/11? Try again! I think I'd have Firmino any day even though he cost a lot more.

It's not about how much he's played though, is it? This guy has won everything in the game he's competed in. He's a born leader and is currently captain of the World Champions.

There will be top players lining up to play with him before he retires. That's what makes this such an incredible transfer.

For me, prolific is the name of the game. Our goal tally last season was embarrassing to say the least. We just need someone who can put the thing in the net on a regular basis. Benteke seems to be top choice though Reus is definitely more class.
