Hi Ed

The Echo are reporting that we are closing in on attacking mid player Roberto Firmino again. Were not short of players in that area so am i right in thinking its a load of tosh?!

{Ed002's Note - Firmino will very likely move from Hoffenheim in the summer with Barcelona (who would delay a move until January) Arsenal, Dortmund, Zenit and Schalke probably all interested. Manchester United have looked at him again. Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Atletico Madrid, Shakhtar and Inter have dropped their previous interest. I am aware that Everton, Dynamo Kiev and Liverpool looked at Firmino last season but did not declare any interest with his agent. Roberto Firmino was previously subject of a rejected bid from Southampton.}

It should be noted that the Echo report in question is a digest of rumours from other sources, the other source in this case being Calcio Mercato.
