The9 Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Just saying there wasn't much on show on the Bayern video other than a man running quickly and hitting a decent shot past the keeper/getting fouled. I'm not assuming anything else about his all-round abiliities based on that - I can see how Mayuka comparisons have been raised though. That's definitely not just because he's black and fast either...
SuperMikey Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBq_M50XqhY Embedded for lazy f*cks like me. Apparently his nickname is "The Black Diamond". Hope that one doesn't carry on over here Looks like a good player, certainly would be a handful to deal with but the defenders in Austria and those in the Prem are of a completely different calibre.
Andy Durman Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 As I come from Austria I can also report that he is an exciting player. Would be very pleased if he signed for Saints

Andy Durman Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Take his stats with a pinch of salt the Austrian Bundesliga is very poor. Probably as good as our championship or League division 1

The9 Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Hmm, he seems like a raw talent, quite a few loose touches but often recovered due to his sharpness and agility, good balance, decent finishing, obviously very, VERY quick, but also seemed to get leaned off the ball a bit easily on the rare occasions a defender got within touching distance. Not much evidence of his passing ability in that lot - but then rapid players usually don't tend to pass much. £12m is a lot of money...

Aziz Yebda Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Looks like he plays football with a varying amount of skill. Well done him.
shurlock Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Sadly it's not a lot in the football transfer market nowadays. It is a hell of a lot of money for a foreign player. With that kind of money, am expecting Tadic-like quality.
Appy Posted 31 August, 2014 Author Posted 31 August, 2014 Have a look at the name of the manager of Salzburg and try not to do a double take... LOLZ
CB Fry Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 It is a hell of a lot of money for a foreign player. With that kind of money, am expecting Tadic-like quality. Quite. Ready for the first team quality. Basically, not Mayuka.
VectisSaint Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Looks leggy and clumsy to me ...fast and that's about it! Bit like Jonno Forte then?
farawaysaint Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Good first touch, eye for goal, decent cross, looks like a weak shot though. Sign him up please?
FloridaMarlin Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Have a look at the name of the manager of Salzburg and try not to do a double take... It's Adolf Hilter, and his friends Ron Vibbentrop and Mr Bimmler. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKgHUrKZiXA
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 I was told the other day we were looking at a winger that hadn't been mentioned in regards to Saints, I guess this was him. Now just waiting for the RB on loan.

Hope that one doesn't carry on over here Looks like a good player, certainly would be a handful to deal with but the defenders in Austria and those in the Prem are of a completely different calibre. Right footed but four of those goals and one or two assists were with his left. That's a good sign in my book.
Matt_the_cat Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 i'm from austria and follow the austrian bundesliga quite a bit... all i can say is, he is quick as hell and would really strenghten our team. great signing in my opinion...
wild-saint Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 No doubt, sleeping off the sunday lunch. he is probably still eating last sundays lunch judging by the chubby comments on here.
Ohio Saint Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 he is probably still eating last sundays lunch judging by the chubby comments on here. those comments are a very cheap and dishonorable shot. Nobody would have known Alps was chubby had he not told them in the first place. I happen to know that Batman hangs around with a young boy that he calls his ward, but that info is not relevant on a footy forum.
SO16_Saint Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 I've heard Mane hasn't settled in Southampton and has already requested a deadline day move
CB Fry Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Having medical as I type....... Has he been spotted at Lime Wood yet?
krissyboy31 Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Quick question? Is Mane an alternative to Redmond or an addition to Redmond?
Saint-scooby Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Has he been spotted at Lime Wood yet? Its Limewood and no.
Colinjb Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Quick question? Is Mane an alternative to Redmond or an addition to Redmond? I would expect an alternative.

JxgrSaint Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 (edited) Guan? K Billy? Any info? Edited 31 August, 2014 by JxgrSaint
MarkSFC Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Its Limewood and no. Announcement tonight? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Ohio Saint Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Guan? K Billy? Any truth? i are also addicted to their ITK truthiness. however, sometimes the mystery is funner.
Viking Warrior Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Seems a lot if money for a championship league standard player if true
Pastor Patrón Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 The stuff of meme legend... Das it mane This would literally be the best signing of the summer for this reason alone. Brb getting a new saints shirt, getting it tailored into a singlet, getting Das-it-mane on the back. Good job Reed and the recruitment team.

Hope that one doesn't carry on over here Looks like a good player, certainly would be a handful to deal with but the defenders in Austria and those in the Prem are of a completely different calibre. Quick, a bit clumsy, looks decent against Championship level players ....Might have been cheaper to just sign Michail Antonio.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 What ever we think, does`nt really matter i guess, if RK thinks he`s worth that bid then i suppose we had better trust in his knowledge being better than ours
scotty Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 I've heard Mane hasn't settled in Southampton and has already requested a deadline day move You heard wrong. He's staying in the UK, Brendan Rodgers has just offered Saints £18m for him.
S-Clarke Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Quick, a bit clumsy, looks decent against Championship level players ....Might have been cheaper to just sign Michail Antonio. In this transfer window, probably not!
St.JonB Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 He's been linked with a lot of big clubs - must be worth a gamble?
stevy777_x Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Latest reports on twitter saying Mane is in négociations with Spurs...
Sour Mash Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Latest reports on twitter saying Mane is in négociations with Spurs... I can't see anything, link?
Viking Warrior Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Pooch was asked after the pool game and asked about players , basically he said little but by his body language . He looked hacked off as he wasn't getting any more players in and realised he was not getting Morgan Anyway they don't need mane , they have a world class winger in Townsend and he sets up goals as well . I'm a bit curious as to where JRod fits into the equation if we sign this guy
