KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum is he worth the mane?

Klopp's confident that Mane has the pace as well as the dribbling ability to improve Liverpool's attack according to sources app would cost 25m! id take him any day of the week

what about Leverkusen's bellarabi or Calhanoglu -who we approached last year, lucas vazquez/franco vazquez, oh god I'm as bad as gnp with the L/S Bender brothers!

we obviously want more of a winger on the right and a forward on the left? it's becoming clearer to me

we're good at overpaying for players, but this is what they want off the back of two productive seasons.

If he's an improvement on lallana then I'm not sure we can say no as it would be good if we could just get the right wing done with

FLASH GORDON STRIKES AGAIN!!!

LIVERPOOL once turned down the opportunity to sign Sadio Mane from Red Bull Salzburg based on a computer program, according to reports.
Mane was said to have been lined up by the Reds' scouts only to be turned down by the club's infamous transfer committee.
German football expert ?Raphael Honigstein told Sport1 the Sengal international did not meet their 'statistical criteria' after he was run through a computer program, and so was rejected.
The 24-year-old instead signed for Southampton for a reported £15million and has impressed over the last two seasons, scoring 21 Premier League goals.
The report will be hard reading for many Reds fans who witnessed their side crash to a 3-2 defeat to Saints in March, courtesy of Mane. The forward was the catalyst in Ronald Koeman side's brilliant comeback win, scoring twice late on to snatch all three points.

The moment Brendan goes to see Mike Gordon about trying to sign Sadio Mane!

Based on our past big money signings from Southampton I'd say no fukking way! They'll be laughing their t!ts off if we bid that much for him! That'll be well over £60m we've given them!

He's a good player but proved he can be problematic with sending offs and his antics in January.

Couldn't agree more with this.

If we keep signing players from Southampton we will turn into them which means a 6th placed finish at best!

There's a reason they're at clubs like Southampton. Yes he's been good there but o was Lalanna and Lovren. If we want to get back to the top we need to look for more proven talent.

I don't see how our signings from Southampton in the past should affect the club's decision. Also, if Southampton had kept all their best players they've sold to clubs over the last few years they would have one the best teams in the league.

No they wouldn't, only Luke Shaw and Nathaniel Clyne look the real deal, in my opinion. Everyone else they have sold has struggled to make the step up, Lallana, Lovren and Schneiderlin were all vastly over-priced.

Including player's further back they've sold

Clyne, Lovren, Shaw, Schneiderlin, Oxlade-Chambelaine, Bale, Walcott

And if you pretend they could still sign the players they've signed more recently without the proceeds of the player they've sold, they could combine the players above with the likes of Wanyama, Mane, van Dijk, Forster, Bertrand.

That would be a very good set of players.
