Journalist: Is it true you're interested in bringing Mane to Old Trafford?

LVG: Bitch I might be.

I actually like him and think he's a good player. However to dick about over Pedro (if the reports that the club wasn't sure about him are true) and then go for him is a bit odd.

It will be a tragic day if we turned down Pedro for bloody Sadio Mane. I wasn't really the biggest fan of Pedro but to see our attacking transfer targets take a u-turn like this is woeful

The reaction of this thread :lol:

LVG obviously spotted something about pedro that he didn't like and has instead turned his attention to Mane.
More likely is that Pedro chose Chelsea over us, and now Mane is the best winger we can realistically obtain for a sensible price between now and the end of the transfer window.

If you don't see that as an absolute shambles of a situation for one of the biggest clubs in world football to be in, then I have no idea what your expectations are frankly?

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.
That isn't my issue, in fact my issue is the lack of trust in the managers decisions.

Nani was inconsistent to the point where he would be awful for 5 or 6 games on the bounce then have one good game before repeating the cycle but on here he had fecking **** like status. As it happens, Mane has fantastic work rate and is wonderfully creative. i think that he will rise to the challenge under LVG and at OT. he is younger then Pedro, quicker and i believe that we would get the best out of him.

incidentally i am currently talking to a saints season ticket holder and he tells me that st marys would be gutted to lose Mane, so theres that.

Its by no means a major factor, isn't irrelevant though so its a positive, no matter how small.

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.
He gave Ashley Young a contract extension, I cried then and I'm crying now

It's not entirely inconceivable that they spelt Bale wrong, right?

Maybe we have also forgot he is no longer at Southampton.

It would certainly add weight to the notion that Chelsea simply hijacked our Pedro deal.

Had a horrible feeling when the Pedro news broke that it was down to the Glazers tightening up again and this certainly doesn't help either. Good lord I hope I am wrong and it isn't that.
Don't think so. Mane would cost similar to Pedro at least, in terms of the transfer fee.

I wasn't too annoyed at missing out on Pedro but to get Mane instead? fecks sake!!! If he costs even close to Pedro's release price, I'm gonna punch my super hot neighbour in the face with my dick. I'll be that angry :mad:
