"fantastic news- so excited to have this confirmed. Well done everyone at the club and a big thank you to the owners for continuing their investment. Please can we buy a back up striker to pressure carrol and who can come on and be a threat. YNWA"
"Like any other Copa America, a young player shines and is going to have the attention of some of the biggest clubs in the world. This is quite simply an excellent signing, In 3 years him and Agger will be best CB partnership in the Premiership IMO."
"Well said RockieUK. Thank you for coming to the game on Saturday, Sebastian. It was good to see you experience Anfield and it's fans. I hope you settle in with the team and I look forward to cheering you on with the rest of the lads. YNWA"
"Congratulations Liverpool , you singed the next Franz Beckenbauer , how i know ? Because I'm Uruguayan and a Nacional fan , and I like Liverpool since the times of Ian Rush.Now you have 2 winners Luis Suarez and Sebastian Coates. I hope one day I be at Anfield , singing YNWA."
"I am so happy that he is joining LFC, Uruguay has produced many quality players who move their teams to victories. I am sure he is not an exception- good luck, come on bring more to LFC!"
"Welcome to the Liverpool FC, Sebastián!
My dream came true, after I saw you play in the Copa America, I thought - that's the defender we may need! and there you are! But I thought the same after the World Cup about Suarez!! lol... maybe LFC should consider a role of a chief scout for me ;)"
"I am well made up with this signing. He is quality. Welcome Sebastian...hope you will become a legend. Well done Damien, KK, the board and Luis for encouraging him to come. YNWA!!!"
"This to me represents a significant signing for liverpool. A 20 year old, young player of a major tournament, in the sami Hypia mould is a real coup at that price. I am excited to see him play and i got the feeling it wont be long before he commands a place in the back 4. Mr Comolli well done another shrewd signing that shows your own skills. I bet Wenger and spurs miss your abilities"
"Thank you Mr Comolli, you have got rid of deadwood and brought in good hungry and young players. Hazard would/will be the icing on the cake next summer."
"saw footage of him on utube looks like a good solid defender..all we need now is a right mf and another top striker along wit stevie back in d squad i think we'll be sorted"
"Hats off to Damien and the rrest of the team for the transfers we've pulled off. Thanks to Kenny and the lads...but a huge thanks to the owners. You've got us back on track and we all can't wait for the next game...its a great time to support us again! Welcome to Co-a-tes too! YNWA"
"right winger and another forward pls!!how bout van persie for forward??at the moment arsenal on the down..so i think we can have a bid for him and we'll never know..after all..we better than arsenal this season..so he might tempted.."
"does anyone get the feeling that this is not a daglish signing but more of a commoli signing and maybe daglish never really needed a cb. but ini any cause, dosnt hurt to have a potentional cb for the future"
"Welcome lad... The people of Liverpool and the family of Liverpool Football Club will make you part of the family...give us your best and you will have our support and love."
"Sir Fergie must be kicking himself in the butt for missing out on Sebastian Coates....who needs Phil Jones when we have the complete package in Coates! YNWA!"
"lol jones for 16m and nw we have a much better player of same age for under 10. we just bought ourselves the future best cb in the world YNWA welcome coates"
"Great! Him being 6'6" will mean that the shirt makers will have to make shirts that come in 'TALL' sizes. Hopefully they will offer them in the team store as well since I am 6'5" and the regular length shirts I have bought are a tad short."
"Liverpool fans are so lucky! You guys have both greatest talents from Uruguay ON the same team. So much heart and never quitting that is the fighting spirit of our players and remember all this talent from the smallest country in South America only 3.5 Million people.Long live Liverpool the sacred land of THE BEATLES!!!"
"skrtel and agger and carra will lead and mould him into an LFC star. This guy will be our new Hyypia
reina
johnson coates agger jose enrique
kuyt adam gerrard downing
carroll suarez
we can beat barca with this team YNWA
"
"Looking at the the Suarezs and the Forlans, Comolli is right - Uruguayans have this mental atude of never giving up. We now have to thank Suarez for convincing Coates to come to Liverpool FC. I am already relishing the next match. Darn these international matches!"
"Thank you Mr. Comolli and KK. An awesome signing. We have a really solid defend line now. with Enrique, Agger, Skrtel, Carra, Johnson, Kelly, Flanagan and now Coates. we can command the EPL. Now I hope to see another enforcement of creative striker with good finishing. Then we are ready for champion. YNWA"
"Observe carefully guys, coates style just like agger where he take any opportunity to go forward with the ball. I agree with some prof pundit say that coates cannot play with agger instead with carrager and martin."
"im so happy that we've finally signed coates! i hope he fits into the team just like suarez. but i dnt tink we'll be abl to get a winger snc 2day the transfer window closes but mayb a backup striker...bellamy"
"Insha Allah he's gonnabe a threat to oppositions on throw ins, corner kicks and free kicks into the box. Defensively hes gonnabe as good asonnabe Skrtl or Agger, insha Allah Coates is gonnab a great addition to LFC for years"
"It's gotta be time that us koppites officially thank FSG for what they have done so far. Quite simply, they have not only saved our club, but have totally relaunched us and, listened to the fans throughout. Gotta be 'thanks FSG' banner time, cos they totally deserve our graude."
"Good Luck SEB.Is he gonna get to read all this hope so good luck we welcome U with open arms and thank U Damien comolli and the scouts U done a gr8 job in the transfer window since January thank you once again YNWA "
"Great signing & great work by everyone at the club. We'll probably see 2 or 3 fringe players go today so credit to Mr Comolli for the hard work you're doing! The owners, Manager & Fans are greedy for success so hopefully one more major signing later?"
"olaideyinkakehinde I don't know where you're coming from but your comments are well out of order. Kenny has said time & time again that there are no personalities at LFC everybody is working for the good of the club, and decisions are not made by any one man. "
"Welcome young lad. I am now confident that LP will be le challenger if KD has the gut to decide to keep Carra on the bench. Keep Raul in the team as well to maintain and even strengthen the recent passing and creative form and qualities of the team. "
"all i can say is carras replacement is here just watched him on utube n what a die hard defender deffo not affraid to get stuck in perfect for english football and the kid can pass a ball cant w8 to c u in the red ov the mighty LFC and ur soon gunna know Y.N.W.A"
"we can now rest and have teams come and go to them with confidence, CL and if we get number 19 why not. Jamie has cover now and his pase now questionable like costing us a clean sheet on Saturday. "
"This signing is excellent for us definitely a top top talent...Luis' appeal has started to attract players already....if all goes well this season more players will want to join us...YNWA!"
"Welcome to Liverpool Sebastian.
Great news he looks to be a brilliant prospect. What a difference a year makes. new owners, new manager, new coaching staff, new players. Everything is going in the right direction, I definitely believe we can win the league this season. YNWA"
"Bolsored, nice one! Good to have a Uruguayan in the know tell us we've signed a winner. Welcome Sebastian - wishing you a fabulously successful career with us."
