      Going to miss him loads but as many have said
      It’s probably the right time for Bobby & the club to part company.
      A real class act & an incredible player that has left us all with plenty of boss memories with plenty more to come before he leaves us
      Best of luck Bobby lad.

      Watching them reels think it’s fair to say Fck we got entertained, Klopp is going to have to go some distance to build that type of team again but we’ve done it before and we will do it again

      Theres no way the club 'just found out'.  I think Gapko is his replacement, just like the club knew about Mane and Diaz was his replacement.

      Bobby Firmino - Liverpool legend. Has any player better defined the Klopp era than this man? I don't think so. His last day in front of the Anfield crowd will be an emotional one. 'Si senor...'

      Walk on, we'll always be with you Bobby.

      The best Brendan Rodgers signing?

      The best signing during Brendan Rodgers reign. ;)

      Sad to see him go, easily one of my favourite players in recent times but the time is right.

      Cannot understand the thinking behind Bobby leaving, even now when he is brought on the game is transformed and we step up a gear.

      Wouldn't be surprised if our man is really missing the automatic starting selection he is entitled and qualified to command.

      Sorry Bud can't agree with you there....Club was keen for him to stay but he has decided he prefers to go, he's at the end of his current contract and any new contract offer was likely to be a lower wage etc. All players want to play and not sit on the sidelines, but again I don't think any player is as entitled and qualified for automatic selection as you suggest.

      Just watched bobs 100 goals vid.
      I love the fella, and the vid makes him even better than I remember.
      Absolutely on it when we played at a higher tempo.

      What an incredible player. Gonna miss him big time.

      Respect his decision 100%. Great player for us. Probably got 2/3 seasons left in him and he can still play a part this season.

      So long Buddy..

      Sad news, still has a lot to offer but maybe his recurring injuries are a part of the reason. If any player has represented what Klopp wants in a player then it is Bobby. Every time he plays i watch him specifically, all the little unseen things he does, the decoy runs, the impossible passes, the no look stuff.

      I personally think we should have kept him but we don't know the ins and outs of what has gone on. Wherever he goes i wish him nothing but the best, he has given everything for us. He will always be loved here and sorely missed.

      Thank you for everything Roberto Firmino.

      Nobody is entitled to command a starting place regardless of form.

      I'll really miss Bobby. That smile, the kung fu kicks after a goal and the ridiculous footwork, laying the ball on for Mo against Newcastle the other year is one of my favourites.

      What a wonderful player Bobby has been for us. Made that front 3 tick at it's best, scorer of super goals, such an intelligent player, bags of skill, touch and foresight, plays with a smile on his face.
      Loved watching him. Can only wish him the very very best in whatever he goes onto do.

      Good to see him smile today with a goal in the first game after the announcement that he will leave the club.

      He's been a great player for us but it's probably the right time for him to leave. Gakpo showed today that there will always be new players coming into the team.

      YNWA Bobby.

      Every single player who walks thru the doors at LFC will of course walk back out of those same doors after giving service to our wonderful institution, we’ve seen hundreds of players over the generations who were fan’s favourites, best player, best goal, best pass, best teeth, etc etc,

      Roberto Firmino is simply the latest superstar to have made the same journey, he’s certainly been one of my favourites in the 46 years I’ve been in love with the same bird, Kenny was my first, Bobby won’t be the last unless I peg it before he goes,


      He’s special, no two ways about it, his skill set above most, like Kenny, he was two yards faster in mind and together with his tricks n flips was always a danger whoever the oppo was, he would work his arse off for the team, from tracking back to pressing and being the first defender, his link up play with Mane & Mo allowed both to score goals aplenty in particular Mo,


      I almost changed my avatar to ‘Bobby’s Gnashers’ cos I admire him so much, I had the same kind of respect for Gini too but not quite on the same level for Bobby, there are far too many special moments Bobby has provided during his time here, one that always comes to mind was I think against either Saints or Stoke, can’t remember, red & white stripes anyway and we were in our Orange clobber, 

      the ball is fizzed in to him quickly, and with one flick sets up a goal, it looks like a run of the mill back heel flick, but in slo mo he actually lifts & flicks the ball so the defender can’t intercept, typically Bobby using his vision and providing yet another assist, f***in hell, we’re gonna miss ye Bobby la,


      Many of us have have experienced fav players leaving or retiring, Kenny, Souey, Jocky back in the day, God, Aldo, Digger, Sami, Alonso, more recently Carra, Gerrard, Gini and now we’re adding Bobby, it is sad always is, but like those before him, Bobby leaves us with his head held high, he will leave us with great pride in his heart and he will leave us with Legendary status ,

      “There’s something that the Kop wants you to know, best in the world is Bobby Firmino”
        Si Senor, give the ball to Bobby and he will score !!

      Thank You Bobby, YNWA

      You can literally see his age. He moves slower and his movements do not have the sharpness of previous years. He'd be nothing but a mascot next season and I am glad he has the dignity to understand and leave.

      Matip, Henderson and Fabinho will also deserve a close look before extensions.

      Milner gets a new 2 year contract from me.

      Ox, Jones, Keita...bye.

      I also would prioritize to get a mad runners like Robbo before skilled players. You could see in this match: we won because we outworked them, from a skill level they were better and you could even see it thru the ball handling at least in the 1st half.

      We need 2 top players, ideally Bellingham and some pitbull runner (Rice?).

      This is a thread for giving respect to 1 of the players who changed our narrative. Bobby helped us win the league and everything else. Put this sh*t somewhere else.

      Been one of my Klopp era faves. Even today you knew he'd be the one scooping Salahs shirt up when he broke the record PL goals.

      And his goal was pure Firmino filth.

      It's probably his time to leave but he will leave with a lot of credit in the bank.

      I'm hoping for at least one more no look goal.

      Ok, I removed my post. I have nothing but the utmost respect for what Bobby has done here. He was the hardest worker of the front three, he worked so that Salah & Mané could shine.

      Thanks. I've reread my post and think it was too hostile. Sorry for that, I was a bit drunk, on alcohol and  the 7-0 win.
