Really rate him. Lightning quick. Needs to work on his finishing though. And feel for Southampton again.

If he is an addition to the squad, give him a shot

if its a case that we are still going to sell Hernandez I wouldnt be in favour

Right, how does this tweet work? Did he know about it last week, but thought "nah... I won't tweet about this" - or did one of his sources magically decide to come up to him now and tell him we made a bit for him last week?!

I like Mane, but no, we should be aiming a bit higher. Agree with the poster who compared him to the likes of Bolasie.

I reckon he's really promising and wouldn't say no to having him here. Southampton won't want to sell though so it'd have to be a ridiculous price.

I think its a bit of a lazy comparison given the respective pedigrees.

Bolasie languished on loan with lower league clubs and in Maltese football at one point. Mane improved at every club he's been at and continues to do so. Hes also done well at international level.

Just logged in to say the same thing.

If I bid was lodged last week, why the feck wasn't it reported.

Sounds to me that we are trying to get away from the Pedro deal with 'well we wanted Mane'.

Never really seen him play, where is a 'good' YouTube video please!?

Honestly, I don't think I even have an opinion on Sadio Mane... he's just one of those Southampton players that exists in the world... like Steven Davies, or Maya Yoshida.

They, you know, play football... and stuff.

It's amazing how many reporters jump on the wagon; these very same reporters that were saying Pedro to United is done.

Europa.
I think if our interest in Mane became clear before the bullshit with Pedro the reception here would have been a lot more positive. The thing is, LVG in his previous clubs has a spotty record with transfers. With FC Bayern in particular he bought a load of players who were plainly not at the required level. Signing Mane is very risky in my opinion. I don't understand it, it seems desperate to me.

There's a really odd mix of people actually quite excited about this potentially happening, and others completely melting down at the idea. :lol:

24 starts last season, 10 goals and 3 assists. 23 years old. Not bad.

But wasn't he voted the ugliest player in the league last year, have we learnt nothing from Real Madrid!!

If we actually got him... and we follow the Liverpool theory... does this mean we can get Jay Rodriguez for half price?

Looks like we really want a fast player. Only a matter of time until we bid for Agbonlahor... :lol:

Joke aside, this guy always looked really good when I watched Saints last season, he is also 23 and seems to be performing in big games, so it might not be as bad as it looks.
