You're always trying, because you don't seem to have anything else going on in your life.

Come on man, don't get all salty :smile:

You can do better than Giroud but he has some kind of hold over you, it's hilarious :biggrin:

True, we could spunk over £30m on Benteke.

I know you're trying (and failing) to be funny but why would you buy Giroud 2.0 when you could buy Cavani and ruin him?

Or £35m on Andy Carroll. Or close to £100m combined on Stewart Downing, Charlie Adam, Rickie Lambert, Jordan Henderson, Adam Lallana, Lovren and Markovic.

I'm just messing, honestly I'd rather talk football than turn in to @The Shed End :smile:

I think that will all depend on how Firmino settles in.
So far he's had a tough start and i don't think he realises just how little time you get on the ball against certain teams.
He needs to be more aware of the players around him like Coutinho is, although I'm not worried about his ability to score a goal if he gets a chance (he'll miss a sitter against United now I've said that...)

Overall, Coutinho is our star man and i don't see Firmino having as great an impact, however if he can form a good partnership with the former, he could have a great season too.
Perhaps with Coutinho suspended against United, Firmino may step up? Who knows..

Lol at Giroud > Anyone

Shhh you'll upset all the Arsenal fans who overrate their players.

I'll have you know that there was no one better than Giroud in the market. He has world class link up play!! who needs a cliche striker who scores goals.

My memory of Liverpool specifics is purposefully shaky, how did Coutinho do when he moved to Liverpool? (Say, the first 10/15 games or so).

I was at the Chile/Brazil game at the Emirates and it was pretty dire until Firmino came on, I was pretty annoyed you lot got him, I do think he'll be good for you.

Coutinho wasn't even a nailed on starter for us until a season ago - i think he was rotation during the SAS campaign and it's only fairly recently that he's stepped up and shown his true talent.

Firmino himself is highly rated and he clearly has great skill.
It's just a question of whether he can adapt to the new league and display it to help us this season.
I mean when you have two young Brazillian AMs behind your striker, what can go wrong?

Would it be fair to say that Firmino is going to be deployed as the more attacking of the two? By that I mean: Coutinho will move the ball about the pitch and chip in with shots/assists himself, but Firmino will be more of a second-striker type player?
