Fabinho

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

There were literally less than 5 minutes between me reading the first Fabinho rumour and the official announcement. Nice.

[Anubis]

F1 - Bobby.

F2 - Fabs.

 

Sorted.

 

Fekir will be bumped to F2 if he signs. And Fabs to F3.

[Oh Buoy]

[Ne Moe Imya]

I'm starting a band and calling it Fab and the Nabs.

 

Not sure what kind of music we will play but it will be terrible, whatever it is. Unlike our new midfield.

[Harry Squatter]

I hate him and I won't set foot inside Anfield til he's gone.

[Ginny]

Has anyone seen Fabs play? Is he any good?

[stringvest]

Does anyone know what time Henderson and Wijnaldum leave?

 

 

The engine's running, and I'm waiting for the call.

[Arnaud]

What the fuck is Deco doing there?

 

He’s working with Mendes.

[aRdja]

I think Gini was quite good in the second half of the season.

[Em City]

What the fucking fuck? I literally woke up this morning and only saw this happened when he was giving his interview to LFCTV.

 

I assumed we had signed some 17 year old who just happened to have a little bum fluff on his chin.

[Elite]

I think Gini was quite good in the second half of this season.

He's bang average. Don't mind him as back up.

[Elite]

I am happy we've added some height in the middle.

[aws]

Looks like we've finally replaced Lucas.

[General Dryness]

I've just Googled it and everything was about Football Manager.

 

Unsurprising. I'm sure they make this shit up.

[sh#t waffle]

His wife looks absolutely delighted to finally have the opportunity to test out the UK plug and socket system. And who can blame her, it is after all generally considered the safest such system in the world.

[Numero Veinticinco]

Looks like we've finally replaced Lucas.

Hopefully with a vast improvement as a player.

Wouldn't mind sticking my plug in her socket.

[stringvest]

I'm an old man, but I will weep salt tears if he isn't any better than Lucas.

Depends on what you're definition of good is.

 

What does he do apart from run around? Another Lallana.

 

Doesn't really provide assists or score goals.

 

Always has a nose bleed when he gets a chance on goal.

 

Our biggest issue has always been our midfield, the lack of mobility, the lack of creativity and the lack of goals.

 

Lets be honest, our front 3 has carried the team for the whole of last season, despite our midfield.

[Numero Veinticinco]

Quite right. He looks mobile at least.

He is very mobile, holds the ball very well as he’s very strong on the ball, and typically uses it well. Agreed that he needs to improve on his end product. He was probably our second best midfielder after Ox.

[Jose Jones]

Quite right. He looks mobile at least.

But is he dynamic?

Squad player at best, but need much better for the first team.

 

Can choosing to not sign could be the best thing that's happened as it's given Klopp a jolt to sort out midfield.
