Ex-player: Roberto FIRMINO

I think Bobby is a bit of a glue he seems well liked and probably connects the clubs different groups together.

He is also still someone who can come on and get goals as well as start.

Might be completely wrong here, but on some training pics before the restart of the season, he looked a bit chubby to me. Hope heā€™s good physically and mentally to return to our affairs and put that Brazil disappointment to bed.

Heā€™s generally had a good season and our better games are usually the ones he has had a big hand in. Need him back sharpish.

Twitter saying that now the new lad has signed Bobby is off to the same league as Ronaldo.
Be gutted if that happens. Bobbys been great for us and so far had a good season.

Selling Bobby would be the right decision, heā€™s starting to pick up injuries and heā€™s not got the energy needed to lead the line here. We need to be ruthless if we want to turn around this club wide malaise.

Gakpo and someone like Doak getting minutes is a far better use of budget and time giving us room to spend on a midfielder.

Time catches up to every player, Bobby has been one of my favourites.

If that happens then wish him all the best, weā€™ve long seen his best days despite his good form early on this season.

Probably 1 that couldā€™ve been sold a few years earlier for a good chunk to reinvestā€¦all these players weā€™ll be losing for nothing will take itā€™s toll for how the squad will be reshaped in the coming years.

Heā€™s 31, starting to pick up more injuries. Yes, been very good this year, but we donā€™t need another players legs falling off here.

A one year rolling contract would be nice, but otherwise Iā€™m fine with him leaving.

I would only sell if we know Jota is back soon.

I assume sell means this Winter period, as his contract is up in the summer.

I do feel he could do far better mind.

Any proper source?

Contract up in the summer so he off on a free.
Will miss him as he has been a brilliant signing.

nothing concrete

Sky germany say hes likley to sign a new deal

I do hope he does.

Rather keep him than lose him for nothing.

Hopefully just the top and not the Bobby

Sky Germany reported that Bobby is closer to signing and that he would want it to be a 1+1 deal. Interesting, if true. I wouldā€™ve guessed he wanted more guarantees, but that would be very reasonable from the clubā€™s point of view.

Whilst I love Bobby him signing a contract is a step backwards, he canā€™t stay fit and his pressing game is basically goneā€¦ His wages would be far better spent elsewhere. Iā€™d much rather we gave Doak game time as our 6th forward.

Salah, Diaz, Jota, Nunez, Gakpo, Doak is more than enough depth.

A new contract would just signify we arenā€™t learning our lessons.

Is there any forwards that is stylistically similar to Bobby?
