Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 1 September, 2014 Posted 1 September, 2014 Maybe you should get your mate to text you? He won't tell me anything. Not spoken to me since I bowed to pressure from people on here and named him. Understandable really, it wasn't a very clever thing to do but I was sick of people giving me grief. I've had a couple of texts about a player he scouted in the states who has just signed for a championship team but **** all Saints related. Think I've burned my bridges with that one.
St Chalet Posted 1 September, 2014 Posted 1 September, 2014 Adam Blackmore @bigadamsport 1m #saintsfc Deal for Sadio Mane is still on - waiting to complete permanent move to St Mary's
SarniaSaint Posted 1 September, 2014 Posted 1 September, 2014 Adam Blackmore @bigadamsport 1m #saintsfc Deal for Sadio Mane is still on - waiting to complete permanent move to St Mary's Its 40 minutes after the deadline!! aint gonna happen though would love to be proved wrong
Matthew Le God Posted 1 September, 2014 Posted 1 September, 2014 Its 40 minutes after the deadline!! aint gonna happen though would love to be proved wrong That doesn't matter. You can have extensions to the deadline and you can announce deals whenever you want.
trousers Posted 1 September, 2014 Posted 1 September, 2014 @jordansibley: I reckon we still have time for one more... #saintsfc
SarniaSaint Posted 1 September, 2014 Posted 1 September, 2014 That doesn't matter. You can have extensions to the deadline and you can announce deals whenever you want. OK MLG I know where you are coming from
Batman Posted 1 September, 2014 Posted 1 September, 2014 Never heard of him, a lot of money but seems exciting
Badger Posted 1 September, 2014 Posted 1 September, 2014 Good, hope he lives up to the high expectations.
Saint_clark Posted 1 September, 2014 Posted 1 September, 2014 Amazing goal scoring record. But so was Mayukas.
saintmonkey1979 Posted 1 September, 2014 Posted 1 September, 2014 @jordansibley: I reckon we still have time for one more... #saintsfc Is this "one more" Mane? Or do we reckon there is another to come? Probably not as cryptic as it seems to my tired mind, but have to ask anyway
Whitey Grandad Posted 1 September, 2014 Posted 1 September, 2014 Did we pinch him fromSpuds? http://metro.co.uk/2014/09/01/tottenham-set-to-sign-sadio-mane-as-agent-arrives-in-england-ahead-of-11-8m-transfer-4852728/
Ulrich van Gobbel Posted 1 September, 2014 Posted 1 September, 2014 Official on Southampton FC Twitter now.. 4 year deal.
Baird of the land Posted 1 September, 2014 Posted 1 September, 2014 Time will tell. On a paper a very promising signing but then so was gaston at the time we signed him. Interesting to see how the 2 players do this season for respective teams.
Give it to Ron Posted 1 September, 2014 Posted 1 September, 2014 Being Senegalese do we have to worry about a work permit??
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 1 September, 2014 Posted 1 September, 2014 Get in! Radio Nova, Dublin. You are ****ing useless. Sack your sports reporter!!!
Viking Warrior Posted 1 September, 2014 Posted 1 September, 2014 Well done appie , for being first with this news
Saint_clark Posted 1 September, 2014 Posted 1 September, 2014 Being Senegalese do we have to worry about a work permit?? Played in Europe since 2011, no idea where he was before that but I would assume we're fine.
Appy Posted 1 September, 2014 Author Posted 1 September, 2014 Remember where you heard it first. I'm only kidding, just good at eaves dropping and thought you lot deserved to hear.
S-Clarke Posted 1 September, 2014 Posted 1 September, 2014 Remember where you heard it first. I'm only kidding, just good at eaves dropping and thought you lot deserved to hear. Appreciated. Wish i worked at Sky with all those hotties... I really, really hope we did beat Poch and Spurs to this guy.........got a feeling they were never in for him though.
S-Clarke Posted 1 September, 2014 Posted 1 September, 2014 [video=youtube;5g9lR-Fgano] Video completed in the daylight as well. Nice trolling saints.
bugenhagen Posted 1 September, 2014 Posted 1 September, 2014 [video=youtube;5g9lR-Fgano] Video completed in the daylight as well. Nice trolling saints. Love how it is a bright sky in the background on both deals today (and he mentions Gaston as an alternative). Deals were either done early today, or premature interview?
richard Posted 1 September, 2014 Posted 1 September, 2014 Love how it is a bright sky in the background on both deals today (and he mentions Gaston as an alternative). Deals were either done early today, or premature interview? I think they just film the interview assuming the deal will get done, and don't release it if the deal falls through. I don't seriously believe they want to wind people up and force the media dept to work later than necessary.
bugenhagen Posted 1 September, 2014 Posted 1 September, 2014 I think they just film the interview assuming the deal will get done, and don't release it if the deal falls through. I don't seriously believe they want to wind people up and force the media dept to work later than necessary. Agree, regarding Toby, Koeman interview was recorded earlier than player interview with shirt & scarf. Just think they are pretty sure of the deal going through early on. Like K,Billy said, relax... Must admit they had me a bit worried (but as soon as the Gaston to Hull story broke I was fairly confident).
The9 Posted 2 September, 2014 Posted 2 September, 2014 Being Senegalese do we have to worry about a work permit?? He may well have dual nationality having played for Metz a couple of years ago, so he'd be an EU citizen and not need a permit.
St Jim Posted 2 September, 2014 Posted 2 September, 2014 I think they just film the interview assuming the deal will get done, and don't release it if the deal falls through. I don't seriously believe they want to wind people up and force the media dept to work later than necessary. Probably the case, but they may also hold off announcing something done in the day as other deals are in the pipeline (eg Gaston to Hull) and may increase our bargaining hand to appear that the deal isn't closed.
St Jim Posted 2 September, 2014 Posted 2 September, 2014 He may well have dual nationality having played for Metz a couple of years ago, so he'd be an EU citizen and not need a permit. I've tried to look into it but can't find anything about his nationality other than Senegalese so would think he does need one (unless that was the delay in announcing his signing). Where's MLG when you need him.
ozzmeister Posted 2 September, 2014 Posted 2 September, 2014 Cracking signing, but was anyone remotely bothered that in RoKo interview about the player he implies that saints were a step forward from where he is now, but bigger steps may be available should he perform?
SydneyFC Posted 2 September, 2014 Posted 2 September, 2014 ****ing sick signing, c'mon Saints, confident that we can get 7th again.
SydneyFC Posted 2 September, 2014 Posted 2 September, 2014 ****ing sick signing, c'mon Saints, confident that we can get 7th again. 8th.
niceandfriendly Posted 2 September, 2014 Posted 2 September, 2014 Cracking signing, but was anyone remotely bothered that in RoKo interview about the player he implies that saints were a step forward from where he is now, but bigger steps may be available should he perform? Nah, perhaps it's better that we get used to that fact now?! It's true, if he does well here he could move to a Top 4 club in the next few years. Koeman seems a very realistic kind of guy.
Brave Sir Robin Posted 2 September, 2014 Posted 2 September, 2014 Nah, perhaps it's better that we get used to that fact now?! It's true, if he does well here he could move to a Top 4 club in the next few years. Koeman seems a very realistic kind of guy. Next few years might be optimistic! Next summer more likely if he does well (look at Lovren). Lets just enjoy a great season with a strong squad before we do this all again next year though!
EBS1980 Posted 2 September, 2014 Posted 2 September, 2014 As there are no pics of him with the kit I assume he wasn't in the country yesterday?
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 2 September, 2014 Posted 2 September, 2014 As there are no pics of him with the kit I assume he wasn't in the country yesterday? No think he had his medical in Germany. He looks ridiculously quick. If nothing else he should win us plenty of free kicks and penalties, and we seem to be quite a threat from set pieces.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 2 September, 2014 Posted 2 September, 2014 Possibly the most exciting prospect to join us this summer...great signing and on other clubs radar. Well done Saints.
Lazlo78 Posted 2 September, 2014 Posted 2 September, 2014 Great signing! I hope the song for him will be Radio Ga Ga - that's quite easy to bellow out at the top of your lungs... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzRr5YHNCk4 As an aside, it's funny that one of Mané's former teammates in Salzburg is the Spanish version of Graziano Pellè: Jonathan Soriano has scored 77 goals in 81 appearances for RB Salzburg, but has yet to be capped at senior level for Spain...

Holy hell, look at this guy's scoring record, amazing at every Spanish youth level,Barca B and Espanyol B and of course Salzberg. Shocked no one has taken a serious punt on him frankly.
Batman Posted 2 September, 2014 Posted 2 September, 2014 Possibly the most exciting prospect to join us this summer...great signing and on other clubs radar. Well done Saints. I want to say this, but had never heard of him 24 hours ago.
Colinjb Posted 2 September, 2014 Posted 2 September, 2014 Yes it's only a youtube video, but he has got such an astonishingly poised turn of acceleration and close control, he will not have the same space here but he should cause a few problems.
S-Clarke Posted 2 September, 2014 Posted 2 September, 2014 Pace always causes problems. It frightens the life out of defenders when you have players running at you, so I'm confident he will add to us. It's something we probably haven't had since Jason left and we were crying out for someone like him last year in my opinion, as there were times when the tip tap around the penalty box wasn't actually going to do anything.
Ed Rooney Posted 2 September, 2014 Posted 2 September, 2014 Sadio oh oh oh oh...... Sadio oh oh oh oh......he comes from Senagal......He'll make you look a fool
Um Bongo Posted 2 September, 2014 Posted 2 September, 2014 When Rickie left, We thoughts that it, We're gonna be, really ****, And everyone that was to go, Was being brought by Liverpool..... When Lallana left, we thought that's it, Who will we, just have left, Then Lovern went, the massive **** And left us no-one at the back, So koeman came, And made some noise, The squad was full of little boys, So signings galore, we brought players in, and then there's this guy, We bought for ten mil, You've had your time, You've got the power, Your about to have your finest hour, SADIO!!!! All we hear is, Sadio Mane.... Needs some work but lol
Patrick Bateman Posted 2 September, 2014 Posted 2 September, 2014 Whoever came up with the 'Sadio Mane' chant to Radio Gaga is a genius - I've had it in my head all morning. Definitely one that should catch on - simple, distinct and not the usual chant.
Saint Rees Posted 2 September, 2014 Posted 2 September, 2014 Like the idea of Radio Gaga to be used as his chant, but 'all we hear is' and 'whats new?' could be changed, as could other words for the chorus All we hear is Sadio Mane Sadio Mane Sadio Mane All we hear is Sadio Mane Sadio Mane Sadio what's new? Sadio, Southampton we love you!
