Can't see how you could see that really, he was really good at Southampton and scored pretty regularly against the big teams.
You are right we did.. LVG couldn't do no wrong..
I remember a lot on here thinking we did the better business signing Depay for £25m rather than Mane for £34m.
That doesn't mean much though, many on here didn't want Pogba, Lukaku or Ibra
I don't. The comparisons were Depay vs Firmino who Liverpool signed when we pipped them to Depay's signature.
Depay looked a real talent, and you can never really predict who will flop. I wouldn't say I regret us signing Depay but damn does £34m look like a steal now.That doesn't mean much though, many on here didn't want Pogba, Lukaku or Ibra
Depay certainly looked good in Holland, but having Mane for the right side would have been ideal IMO.
Well I think I was one of them, so I do
He was inconsistent though for Soton, definitely not the player he is now at Pool, he step up his game and now looks to be one of the best winger in the EPL
Let's see.. Pogba, Kante, Harzard, De gea, De brune, Silva, Alexis. No, he is not.
Yeah he's improved for sure, but the talent was always there. I guess at the time we didn't buy Africans maybe because of the AFCON tournament.
I was waiting for this. Every feckin year around this time some here have their annual wank about Liverpool like clockwork. And every year Liverpool are still shite. Klopp will need more than six year just to win the lesser cups. Just watch as their season end without mane over the next three games.
Was just thinking this. If he were brazilian he'd be seen as one of the best players in the world and every big club would be in for him.
One could argue Mahrez has suffered from a similar sort of discrimination in that respect (albeit I don't rate him as high as Mane) - if he was english, guaranteed would have secured a big move by now.
I'm not saying he wasn't a clear talent, but no way did I see him being the best player at Liverpool. He was too much of a loose cannon at Southampton and he's really sharpened up on the finer aspects of his game since.
until he has a season like Bale did at Spurs, please calm down
I think what happened at Southampton was that he gave up half way in the season after he wanted to leave in January. Supposedly, something similar happened at Salzburg when he was prepping himself for the Saints move. If he has one major flaw, it seems like this might be it.
Of course, his pedigree is beyond question. He is strong, fast and has great control while running at pace and would definitely make most teams stronger.
He doesn't need to have a season like Bale at Spurs.. Bale is a better goalscorer but Mane has superior ball carrying ability and can tun defence into attack more often as he has better footwork/agility and close control/slide through passing on the run.
He's far above Martial and Rashford imo.
Really? I hope the same thing happens, just for the laughs, even it means United finish below them. Dude thats the best season in recent memory where united didnt win the league. They were hillarious. That slip, that suarez tears, meltdown, title winning bus, the shirts. I dont mind at all.
Really? Hazard, Jesus, Aguero, Rashford, Lukaku, Willian ...Kane I could go on and on...I love Mane and wanted him here from Southampton but some of the posts on here are ridiculous
Mane is better than Rashford and Willian ffs. Neither of them are even guaranteed starters in their own team.
Willian, Jesus, and Rashford are not better than Mane.
Rashford??
Both seprate deals for opposite wings. Besides he moved the next year.
But you could argue that rashford and martial are not proper wingers and more of a strikers who could play on the left as wingers. Mane is an out and out winger.
Not ribery esque though, i have always though him as a park ji sung esque player who was brilliant at his peak.
