#Mercadodepases Gran incorporación de Manchester United. Anuncian acuerdo en Inglaterra con Hoffenheim por Roberto Firmino (€18 millones).
Translation: Great incorporation of Manchester United. They've announced agreement for Roberto Firmino (€18m) in England
Am i the only one who's missed this announcement ?
What the hell happened to Micah Richards, he was a beast not so long ago, England regular. It's weird how some players that have a big future just fall off the face of the earth.
Awfully reliant on his physicality, which is the sign of a midtable defender really. Should be decent for Villa if he can stay fit.Injury prone and was half way between being a RB and a CB. I didn't think he was that good though.
I agree but it's destined to be dead in the water in a week's time when he signs for _____(insert whoever from Juve, Barca etc).Firmino would be a great addition to the team. Looked handy whenever I've seen him play, and I'm sure I saw in the paper a few days ago that he came 3rd in the list of most successful dribbles in Europe last season after Messi and Hazard. We need a player like that who can beat a man without having to spend 2 minutes passing it back and forth across the pitch!

Wonder if that option will be taken up...
For those of you who wants to see Ze Elias talk about Firmino to United from earlier.

Zé Elias: 'Firmino deve ir para o Manchester United por 18 milhões de euros' http://es.pn/1e6tpnP
@Arruda @SlyThe translation of that is;
Zé Elias: ' Firmino must go to Manchester United for 18 million euros
That's not necessarily that it's a done deal.
Do we have any Portuguese speakers on the Caf that can clear up the context or language structure to understand if that's suggesting it's a done deal or not?
Why is no one else after Geis? £7m is a bargain for a player who will be worth triple that in a year's time.
Shame our deal with them didn't involve a loan of Januzaj, or someone.So apart from the youngsters, the same deal he had at us.

If we expect him to shine at the Copa, tying the deal up before the tournament kicks off makes financial sense. The risk is injury thereafter though.
What do you make of it, reliable?He says:
"O Firmino já estaria certo com o Manchester. Manchester United, por 18 milhões de euros"
The exact translation would be that Firmino already has everything set with Manchester United for 18mi euros. And he sayd something about him having n upgrade on his Adidas contract, becoming their third most endorsed player.
I wouldn't pay any more than that for him.
Zé Elias is an ex-player, so he must have a lot of contacts. But he's starting in his new career, so I really wouldn't have any info on him being actually reliable. ESPN tends to be more serious about this stuff.What do you make of it, reliable?
Thanks. Interesting that he says that the medical may be done whilst he is with the Brazil squad.Zé Elias is an ex-player, so he must have a lot of contacts.

Is hard to say, really. But I would give the benefit of the doubt.
It means "should", not "must".
Just my opinion. Don't think he's worth anywhere near 40-50 million.Was you happy when we paid that for Shaw?
