If he's what the manager wants then we have to accept it and get on with it. Klopp is employed by the club to do a job and he'll do it the way he sees fit and if it doesn't work he'll get the boot. We can throw names around all we want but we're not the manager and he has a way he wants to play and knows the players best suited to that. I'd rather have Mane if Klopp thinks he fits the way he wants to play rather than someone like (insert name here) who doesn't.
Although not the most inspiring signing if it goes through, I trust Klopp knows what he's doing. £30m seems a bit too much but with the TV money around now even Troy Deeney is worth £30m!
I know and I hope mane can do well in our higher possession football he is used to at southampton, and I don't think Mane will be a disaster, relative, to our other 2 biggest transfer fees. especially if he stays with us over a number of seasons and we have our own talismans within the team.
I just have doubts about whether he is most creative player, has enough consistent end product in his crossing, through balls etc. hence I ask whether he has enough quality. still should be an exciting signing, if we can bring out the attacking side of his game often enough.
