Deal is done.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS z

Reading some Arsenal forums these past two days has been some major cringe. It's like they've never experienced a transfer window before. Muppets.

edit: Vlad Dragomir. Heh, typical Arsenal trolling. Welcome to Arsenal mate.

Seems a lot of money, not like Brenda has a great record in the transfer market so i'll wait on this one before claiming it is good business.

Rodgers still on holiday I believe, wouldn't have anything to do with it imo.

Surprisingly this is the most expensive transfer ever to involve a German club. I forget it's only in England that £30m is the standard price for anyone who might be quite good.

 

[sledger]

Sterling to City is pretty imminent then I guess.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Yeah doesn't make a lot of sense unless Sterling is off. I think it's a good signing.

 

[Ikki]

I think it makes sense regardless, but I think it's the Sterling money that's funding it.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

This bloke is unlikely to be able to push Liverpool into the top four, but if he proves he can score goals he'll be there two seasons at most before joining a Champions League club.

We ignoring Bayern spening €40m on Javi Martinez, €37m on Mario Götze and €33m on Mario Gomez then?

£30m = €41m

 

[Cabinet96]

Reckon Javi is probably top if you put it in pounds, Firmino if in Euros.

 

[Furball]

Martinez works out at £32m using the exchange rate in 2012.

Götze also more expensive in pounds than Firmino.

 

[Uppercut]

I hope you just misread £ as € and didn't actually intend to start an argument about how I'm technically incorrect because exchange rates vary over time.

 

[Ikki]

Dunno WTF this is but kind of funny:

 

[duffer]

Fwiw I think Firmino is a great signing. Also heard that Illaramendi is a target for them too. Would be a huge pickup if they can get him along with Milner and Firmino in the same window.

 

[sledger]

Does rather raise the question, why do none of the big teams want them?

 

[Ikki]

Don't rate him personally. I'd rather keep Lucas and slowly bring Can upto speed in that position. Clyne + a star forward would be a dream window. Heck, even thought he is a ****, I'd love us to keep Sterling just to see what he, Firmino, Coutinho and Sturridge could do.
