CONFIRMED - Mane joins Liverpool for £34m + £2m addons

[angelman]

Yup Nordic, it was laid on a bit thick to say the least. I don't think that you will find any fan who under rates him like they did when this thread started. Actually, I suppose there is bound to be a gormless one or two, there always is, but ask anyone here and the only thing negative about him that people will say, is possibly "consistency".

Here come Spurs.

No chance Levy will pay what we want for him.

[SaintBitterne]

Hands up. Perhaps I did lay it on a bit thick with that post, but I get the impression, perhaps wrongly, that a few of our fans, by no means all, don't view Mane quite as fairly and objectively as they ought to, when he looks to me like one of the best players we've ever had. I'd be as gutted to lose him as I was when we lost Channon, Shearer and Keegan.

 

The problem with Mane is when he is on fire he is an incredible player ,almost unstoppable.however if he's not on form he worsens the team by being selected .Incredibly frustrating player because of this

Not true.Even when unpredictable he is a threat. Of course the manager may want to replace him to suit game tactics, but he is not a waste of space.

Mane one of 20 players likely to be transfered for more the 25m Euro this summer according to here http://www.football-observatory.com/IMG/sites/mr/mr16/en/

This seems very subjective and random

It does. Some of the valuations are odd. Van Dijk is work 40.1m but Neuer is only 35.7, Di Maria 35.6 and many others... Seems to really skew to age.

Mane scores for Senegal as they qualify for 2017 Africa Cup of Nations.

probably off to Everton. If they can be bothered.

He didn't seem to have a close relationship with Koeman. May be a slightly better chance now of him staying.

I doubt we will sell anyone to Everton, except maybe Wanyama who we just need to cash in on somewhere.

[Patrick Bateman]

Koeman: Hi Lessh, I'd like to buy Man-ey as I love his qualities.

Les: Sure, that'll be £99m please.

 

Job done.

£30 million gets his left nut.

[Pengi]

Does the club want to sell him? Guan has said a couple of times that he is leaving

[Saint_Tony]

Does anyone think Koeman leaving will have any effect on whether he leaves?

 

Was just thinking he won't go to Liverpool as they aren't even in Europe, they're not even as big a club as Everton!

I still expect him to go.

The Daily Echo understands reports that Sadio Mane is unsettled and considering putting in a transfer request are incorrect.

[Saints foreva]

£30m will be enough to get him imo.

[Saint Charlie]

£30m will be enough to get him imo.

It won't.

 

Spurs have been told Callum Wilson and Berahino would each cost £25m.

 

No way we would sell Mane for less than £40m. He is the best of all the attacking players we have had since being back in the PL.

[angelman]

Stirling went for £50m, not that that was good value, but who would you rather have in your team??

[SuperSAINT]

[angelman]

Maybe the Sun are trying to ingratiate themselves with Liverpudlians.

[austsaint]

I will be more disappointed if Mane leaves this Summer than I am about Ronald's swift exit.

[JxgrSaint]

Just ridiculous that players and managers want to leave us for teams who can't offer European football and are fairly unlikely to be getting it next season as well...

[niceandfriendly]

Absolutely. Mané (Mané Mané Mané Maaaaaané) is far more important to us.

[Saint_Jonny]

Using football maths, it Sterling's talent makes him worth £50 million, then Mane is worth something in the region of £10 Trillion.

£25m plus add ons? Shouldn't even be in the ballpark.

 

Always assumed he'd be off, but to someone a bit better than Liverpool.

£25m up front with a £15m add on for his first game.

Plus a £50m bonus in the unlikely event Liverpool finish above footballing behemoths, corner flag inventors and everyone in continental Europe's second favourite team, Everton.

Would be amazing to get Mane on a new deal but would still be suprised tbh. Long should be easier to tie up and that would be good too.

[Saints foreva]

Can't see Mane signing a new deal.

Really bored with these sort of articles. They usually pop up just before Mane and long leave.

I remember a similar article just before they both left in January.

[Saint Charlie]

The Mirror tend to just chuck so much content out every day for clicks that its hard to really trust apart from a couple of their Journos and Darren Lewis isn't one.

 

Says we expect to lose Wanyama to Spurs, the other day it was Leicester.

[petts]

Would really soften the blow of koeman leaving, he's a special player

EXCLUSIVE: Southampton slap £40m price tag on Sadio Mane as Liverpool step up pursuit

 

http://thesun.uk/6016BtvhI

 

(Not quite sure how it's an exclusive)

[CB Fry]

He is worth that if Lukaku is worth sixty mil or whatever it is.

[SuperSAINT]

Certainly worth more than Sterling.

 

Lets just say "IF" he's hell-bent on going:

 

Would you take £40m this summer? or would you keep him one more season & sell for £15m next summer?

take that this summer. He will be away for 4-6 weeks in the new year anyway. AFCON

Nixon mentioned the other day that Liverpool were 'mad for Mane'....fully expect him to go either there or Man Utd...

That's the question isn't it - Do we think Utd will still want Mane under Jose? - They'll surely want wide players.

 

Liverpool's only chance of getting him is if they are the only bidders.

[musesaint]

Do not sell Sadio. Whatever the price.

 

He's worth another top six finish to Saints.

 

Unless you're an idiot you don't sell part of your future for short term gain.

Liverpool's chances of obtaining his services are greatly enhanced if they are the biggest bidders. It's all about the money honey.

Agree.

 

While I would love to think we will hold out for £40m, I reckon we'll accept £35m

[Saint Garrett]

£40m is arguably not enough in today's market.

[Shance]

If Deeney is a 25 million pound player then we should be holing out for a billion for mane.
