Hi eds, I know you have covered Firmino at some length, but do you give any credence to the new batch of rumours coming out of Brazil claiming we have all but signed Roberto Firmino and this will be confirmed after the Copa America?
Odds on SkyBet have shifted to 1/4 in our favour, although as we all know that usually only means that more people have bet on it.
Any thoughts?
{Ed002's Note - I have explained that Liverpool looked again at the player late last season - odds are impacted by people placing bets. Someone suggested that Liverpool are in "advanced talks" with the player - whereas they can talk to his club and the agents/representatives - but, legally, not the player without approval. And typically not whilst he is at a tournament.}

Ed002 I think the reports have come from Globo which I have no idea if they're reliable. Would you suggest it's made up and he is still likely to join one of the Manchester clubs
{Ed002's Note - No, there is no deal - a number of sides will meet the price and at least two have discussed the move - but nobody wants to meet certain terms. This is why Manchester City have stepped back.}

Certain terms? Did city ask him to become a British citizen??
{Ed002's Note - What?}

I remember on your original list of targets Firmino was on it but that no deal would be done from Liverpool. Does that look like changing and do you think we can/will try and get him or not
{Ed002's Note - Liverpool remain interested. Other clubs have also been interested and a couple have had discussions and then dropped their interest.}
