Please not Mane. Surely it's all lies Ed?

More success from the much heralded transfer committee and scouting team, take a bow all concerned.

I think he is a little ed if there is any truth in it?

I was told Klopp has trumendous pulling power for players. Mane!

I think he's a good player, but not much better than Ojo and a suspect attitude.

What so bad about Mane? He scored 18 last year in all competitions and added 6 assists. Not bad for a midfielder. and he didn't play for Barcelona. I have no idea of course if we will sign him and if we will if it will work, signings are always a gamble, always! But on the face of it he suites our style.

I do feel for Southampton though if this works. I don't remember a team in the PL being ripped off of so many playe (and now a manager) like the Saints. They have a good reason to hate us for that.

And save me these attitudes comments, most of the great players have a bit otf attitude issues, i prefer a bit of attitude to lack of talent (within reason of course but I don't think he is a Balotteli) .

Southampton have done very well out of LFC.

If coutinho leaves then mane is a very good addition. Super talent but worry about consistency.

I would actually love Mane to come to us assuming the price isn't sky high.

He gives us options that we don't have - he's good on the ball like our other attacking midfielders but what differentiates him is the diagonal runs he makes off the ball from wide positions. This might give the likes of coutinho to play more through balls than taking shots from 35 yards out.

I don't like the fact he is from SOuthampton but he has done well in his 2 years at the club so I for one would quite like us to sign him.

Hes not even a guaranteed starter for Southampton and they apparently want £30million. I would much rather use Origi to be honest. Southampton can hardly complain about us buying there best players though, they do the same thing to Celtic.

Was reported by the Guardian two weeks ago.

He has a seriously poor attitude and doesn't have the talent to back that up with. He has one good game in four and for the most part is lazy. He scored 11 league goals (The goals came in 8 games) and provided 6 assists. Also was sent off twice which backs up the bad attitude rumours.

I only hope our scouts haven't suggested him because he scored against us last season in the three games we played as that is no methodology of selecting players.

{Ed002's Note - It is Klopp you need to look to?

Hope not. Same old Liverpool if it's true.
I'm getting bored of us signing over priced average Prem players.

Mane is not good enough, very rash, inconsistent and has severe disciplinary issues on and off the pitch. He`s been fined by Koeman on several occasions for turning up late to training and team meetings. Why would we want all that baggage and worst of all, from Southampton of all places?

I thought that's why we signed Benteke though, Mr Dennis ;)

zpecialone, that worked out well as he didn't score against us.

No to Mane.

See my post in the Rumours section. He went from December until March with 0G, 1A. That's an 18 game stretch, literally half of the season, with Southampton's "star" winger literally offering Kolo Toure level offensive production.

He finished the season with 11G, but literally scored more than half of those goals in the final 5 games, playing teams who mostly had nothing left to play for. 3 of those 6 goals came against Man City's second string team, because there was nothing on the line.

However, in the previous 32 games, he had 5 goals. Woeful.

In fact, Mane did it last year too, scoring 4 goals in the final few games, 3 against an Aston Villa side who had nothing to play for. He seems to really wrack it up against weaker sides when there's nothing on the line.

I'd be interested in Mane if he would cost 5m. But Southampton are asking 40m. No. Way. Benteke level overpricing.
