We better stop they're only gunna get worse.I think Bolasie is better, personally.
They seem to think he'll be a big loss. Which is good, I guess.Saints fans melting down;

They get paid for this. Actual, legal tender.
I doubt it as I don't think anyone would consider this a morale boost.
Crying Game style.
This seems so bizarre.
Let's just get Wilf back
Darmian might have gone under the radar a bit, but he is highly rated internationally. Mane is a meh signing.
He's pretty flexible. Here's the stats in the 6:1 win over Aston Villa, where he apparently started on LW, yet you see he got a lot of touches on the right:

and he started as #10 in 3:0 loss against Everton a few days ago:

Well, this will be the end game. Mané or packing it in. This is our deadline transfer saga this year. Let's savour the flavour.
So we're signing Welbeck v2 then?

The reaction of this thread
LVG obviously spotted something about pedro that he didn't like and has instead turned his attention to Mane. So all summer the guys on here have been saying we need a quick, creative player that can play in the premier league.
"we've bid for Mane"
"hes shit, why are we shopping at southampton, from Pedro to Him! fml" etc etc
Whats the problem then?
Prem proven? - check.
Fast - check.
creative - check.
high work rate. - check
Talented - check.
Not Pedro - d'oh.
Get a grip.

Mane muppets will kill themselves if this happens. The timing is just perfect for a mass muppet suicide .
.So is he a Mane or a mouse?
cant imagine Koeman letting another of his players leave especially to Van Gaal.
This is amazing.Can not get excited about signing Mane, I would rather stick with our youth players or bring in someone more established. Mane is just like meh in the middle.
Treble inc
Mane and Muller, why not.
What a crazy day.
Hard to get excited by this one, but I won't make any judgement since I know feck all about him.

BBC saying we made a bid for him last week so that's probably true. All very weird. So anyone who has really paid attention to him.. is he any good?
I know he's fast as hell and a good dribbler but I never really gave him a seconds thought. 10 goals and 3 assists in his first season in England playing for a pretty defensive team isn't bad though, at all. I imagine he'd just be a squad player, so having that pace wouldn't be bad I guess. But for squad players I was thinking that Pereira, Januzaj and Young was enough, and what we lacked was 1 more starting player next to Mata and Memphis. We'll see I guess.

So we've clearly briefed the press on this one... Saving face on Pedro? It's all a bit bizarre...
Agree. With fullbacks it's also a bit different. There are not that many top class ones avialable, so except 3,4 options you need to look at some interesting players outside the radar. Darmian was still highly rated in Italy and a potential top class fullback. Mane is just not that interesting, even in the PL there are better wingers and attacking mids, in comparison to Pedro I am also not sure if he is a van Gaal type player. Can be really selfish and lose the ball very often too.
Seriously another Southampton player? Some of the scouts at the top clubs need looking at and ideally ours replacing with a few from Southampton.
Would be pretty underwhelmed with this signing after Pedro dragging out for so long whatever way the club dress it up it looks like our fallback option which is disappointing.

He is incredibly inconsistent and even the most adamant Southampton fan will agree that he is not ready for the top level. If you think the only issue with Mane is that he is not Pedro, then you are very wrong.The reaction of this thread

He is the right type of player we need, but not sure if he has the quality.
It seems LVG described his need to the scouting department and with other options gone they came up with him.

So a story about a bid made last week but only being reported today is becoming a story reported today about a bid that might be made soon, all in the space of an hour.
Money for old rope this insider source lark. I'll have this weekend's lottery numbers on Sunday morning if anyone wants them sent via PM, my contact at Camelot rigs the draws.

What the feck?
Me to.
Back to the value strategy.
Southampton fans expecting 30 million
He'd be an example of buying for the sake of buying. It makes absolutely no sense. Van Gaal wants to improve the team and he's no improvement at all.
