Some important stats there, nqat. Top under 23 taker-onner

Also created 69 chances? I try my best to do that at weekends aswell tbf...

Well I think Phil Jones is the top under 23 defender for take-downs so we could have all angles covered if we get this lad

Can he balance the ball on his head like a seal?

Been playing as a striker for Brazil. If LvG likes the look of him in that role, it makes sense as a relatively cheap punt

I think he'd be a great signing because of his versatility. Jesus Christ. A depay/roon/Firmino front 3.

I'm gonna put this out there but people seem to be getting very excited about a very average player, from what i've seen.

13m is a £#%&!ing steal if it's all true.

Could you be any more obvious.

Scored the winner against Honduras in some game last night. Think he plays for Brazil or Chile.

Either way I'm sure he'll be a useless bastard.

I hate him already

Especially after Crumps outed him as a scouser.

Talking about average players with Milner and Ings

He also won 43% of his 'average duels' which is a marginally less telling statistic than the 57% of average duels he lost. Well it might be, if anyone knew what an average duel is.

Çalhanoğlu would have been a better bet in my opinion.

But no one gives a £#%&! what you think.

This is absolute %@#$&!s. no way. The price quoted seems to be very low for this to be true.

Imagine signing Robbie Firmz for £13m. FFS Biggest steal in football since ronnie for 12m in 2003.

MANCHESTER UNITED have agreed a deal to sign Roberto Firmino from Hoffeinheim this summer

The Brazil midfielder will join United in a deal for £13.1million according to ESPN.

The 23-year-old will be Louis van Gaal's second summer signing following Memphis Depay.

Firmino scored seven goals and recorded 10 assists in 33 Bundesliga appearances last season.

Arsenal and Liverpool have also monitored Firmino but it now appears United have won the race.
