Appy Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Saints close to signing him I hear. All I know at the moment.
Viking Warrior Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Apply sounds like an anagram for alpine or Richmond . Saddo man
Viking Warrior Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Thanks appy . Must admit never heard of him
Trout-Tickler Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Senagelese winger from Red Bull Salzburg Look forward to Alps scouting report....
LGTL Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 45 goals in 86 apps for Salzburg. Not bad for a midfielder.
SuperSAINT Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 City have been linked... Obligatory Youtube video also found at this link http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/manchester-city-transfers-sadio-mane-3247039
Bewildered Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 45 goals in 86 apps according to his wiki. Good goal rate for a winger.
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Linked with Man City and Spurs earlier this summer, and West Ham more recently.
Bewildered Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sadio-mane/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/200512 Good assist record too
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Seems a good type - refused to play or train for the club on the eve of their CL Qualifier because he wanted to leave http://www.google.com/translate?hl=en&ie=UTF8&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kleinezeitung.at%2Fsport%2Ffussball%2Fcl%2F3723089%2Fsalzburg-suspendiert-sadio-mane.story
SuperSAINT Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Just on twitter now....but which came first? Depends where it is on twitter!
SuperSAINT Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Saints close to signing him I hear. All I know at the moment. Good source, Appy?
LGTL Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Good source, Appy? Pretty sure he works for Sky so I'd imagine so.
shurlock Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 What's the standard of Austrian league football like - below Belgium league football?
CB Fry Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Depends where it is on twitter! Random nobodies (at time of writing). Swanson from Sky obviously better.
nta786 Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 He is amazing on fifa. We're gonna be amazing on FIFA Clyne, Bertrand, Shane Long, J Rod, Tadic, and possibly this guy lool.
kaffeemeister Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 More natural on the LW position, means Tadic goes to the RW position? Technically decent with fair pace. Rather this chap or Redmond than Townsend. Dealing with Levy is like dealing with Satan.
JxgrSaint Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Judging by the stats he looks way too good for the Austrian league, anyone watch it?
doggface Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Heard of him, know he's quick. That's all, his stats look great in a poor league. Good age 23 (sure buddy) and very direct which is what we need. Sounds good.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 More natural on the LW position, means Tadic goes to the RW position? Technically decent with fair pace. Rather this chap or Redmond than Townsend. Dealing with Levy is like dealing with Satan. Can`t wait for Pochettino to find out
shurlock Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Was certainly a handful against Bayern in a recent friendly. [video=youtube_share;bXl0Tb76ziE]http://youtu.be/bXl0Tb76ziE
sfc1976 Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11700/9450215/transfer-news-southampton-offer-salzburg-163118m-for-midfielder-sadio-mane Looks like the Germans must have invaded Austria.
Sanjay Sanchez Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Just when Alpine could be useful he's nowhere to be found.
eelpie Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 45 goals in 86 apps for Salzburg. Not bad for a midfielder. Salzburg are flying high at the moment. he is an important player f0r them
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Looks good! Tomorrow should be an exciting day hopefully.
Badger Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 What's the standard of Austrian league football like - below Belgium league football? Perhaps Alpine will enlighten us. Obvious question though re a Senegal international, by how much is he an upgrade on Papa Waigo, and does he have a stupid dance to celebrate ? I'd expect something special for that sort of money. Or is he the Austrian Leagues version of Mayuka ?

Or is he the Austrian Leagues version of Mayuka ? Or maybe he's our new Henri Camara. Seems to have quite a low centre of gravity, so hopefully has better close control than Mayuka and Papa Waigo.
Wrensup Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Heard of him, know he's quick. That's all, his stats look great in a poor league. Good age 23 (sure buddy) and very direct which is what we need. Sounds good. Just like... Pelle
JxgrSaint Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 @OwenSpottswoode: Sadio Mané for ~£12m is a great bit of business in my books. Just what #SaintsFC need on the wings. Guardian writer seems to think he'd be good for us - hopefully evidence of the fabled scouting network in action!
beavis17 Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Him and someone that can play centre back and right back and we'd be looking very good!
Badger Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Him and someone that can play centre back and right back and we'd be looking very good! Agree, I really hope we add to the CB options - despite what RK has said, or reported to have said, VVD or Alderweirald would be outstanding signings.
shurlock Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 (edited) Just when Alpine could be useful he's nowhere to be found. No doubt, sleeping off the sunday lunch. Edited 31 August, 2014 by shurlock
Saint Charlie Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Lets hope its virtually a done deal rather than an agent leak to generate interest. Imagine he would be going to the ACON in the new year too?
JxgrSaint Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Mane and Alderweireld would be a great (if unlikely) deadline day...
The9 Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Well, he's certainly quick, isn't he? Any evidence online of ability to pass, control a ball, tactical systems, tracking back? You know, the other stuff...
Aziz Yebda Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 I'm willing to write him off after one game.
Appy Posted 31 August, 2014 Author Posted 31 August, 2014 Well, he's certainly quick, isn't he? Any evidence online of ability to pass, control a ball, tactical systems, tracking back? You know, the other stuff... He's fast, so he must be good no?
S-Clarke Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 I'm willing to write him off after one game. I've already written him off.
