max_saints Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 What a player. Let's be honest with ourselves, how long can we hold on to a player like him? I'll be a bit worried about the Jan transfer window but have conceded that it is almost inevitable he'll be at a top top club next season.

plod Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 The No Penalty and then the booking for Mane, really changed the game for us.... It really fired him up .. Brilliant all round performance. Also was very impressed with Cedric and also Bertrand back from injury and showing his form a real bonus..
S-Clarke Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 His value is only going to go upwards. Not thinking about what may or may not happen to him in the future though, just enjoy him whilst he's here. (P.S - Where's toepunt these days?)
Saint Charlie Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 He will obviously move on in the summer but we should get way over £30m for someone of his quality, goal return and potential. One of the best players to play for Saints quality wise. Will have a massive career I think.
Lighthouse Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 I just hope he goes to some big European club and not some sh*te also rans for money, like Liverpool or Spurs.
SuperSAINT Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 I said a while back that he could be worth £30m by the end of this season. I think he's already there.
ScepticalStan Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 He'll leave at the end of the season but we shouldn't be selling him for any less than £35-40Mn. If the likes of De Bruyne and Sterling are £50Mn+ then we're offering a bargain as well.
B Rabbit Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 How long is left on his contract.... I wouldn't at all be surprised if he stays for next season too and goes the summer of 2017..he's playing and scoring and we're doing well...by all accounts he likes it here and appears a humble bloke.

Signed last summer.
Dig Dig Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 He'll leave at the end of the season but we shouldn't be selling him for any less than £35-40Mn. If the likes of De Bruyne and Sterling are £50Mn+ then we're offering a bargain as well. He's better than Sterling IMO but we won't get similar fee for Mane. He is a quality player, will have to saviour having him.
B Rabbit Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 4 year contract. Signed last summer. cheers...I'd be quite surprised if we let him go then...a la Morgan and big Vic
LainPain Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 Should offer to double his salary on a 5 year deal.
austsaint Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 Outstanding player and quite unique in so far as he can cover wing, striker and AM effortlessly. Has unique skills of pace, control, evasion and great vision for an assist. Will be delighted if we get another season from him beyond this one. What a player.
Jonnyboy Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 I can quite pin it but it's the way he swings his arms around as he makes a move to pass an opponent. It must hypnotise them or something. So exciting to watch. Will be (yet another) sad day when he leaves.
tajjuk Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 Think we will struggle to keep him past the end of the season and I'd surprised if Vic hasn't been promised he can go next summer if the right offer comes in. But we could do an Everton, it's hardly like we need cash and Mane seems pretty happy as a Saints player at the moment
Convict Colony Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 I just hope he goes to some big European club and not some sh*te also rans for money, like Liverpool or Spurs. Man U fans want to buy him in Jan on the Redcafe.
spyinthesky Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 Seems a while ago that Mane was being rubbished by many after the Sheff Utd defeat
doc oli Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 Infinitely better than I thought he was this time last year. Will inevitably leave but just enjoy it whilst it lasts- there will always be another
Crab Lungs Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 Man U fans want to buy him in Jan on the Redcafe. They can fook off... They were calling him a poor mans Nani a month ago
TwoPints Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 He'll go for what he's worth when he leaves. In the meantime I'm just enjoying having him at Saints when he plays like he did today. It's brilliant when he just stands on the ball and then takes the **** out of the defender when they try and take it off him. ☺
OldNick Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 I wonder if some of the old threads about him are going to be brought to life lol
lickierambert Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 Genuinely the most exciting player we've had since MLT
stknowle Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 If he is vaguely consistent, then he will be 40m+ no doubt. He will probably go, as will Wanyama, we just have to replace well and keep investing. That's modern football, whatever delldays thinks. Might delay it like we did with morgan, like everton have with their players, but it is merely delaying the inevitable. Mane was 10 times better than Hazard today. Could reach that level I think, there will be a lot of demand next year he'd already add something to top 4 sides. He was comfortably the best attacker on the pitch absolutely no doubt. Falcao, Willian, Hazard, Pedro - PAH!
egg Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 Genuinely the most exciting player we've had since MLT This. I challenge anyone to name a player who has been more exciting.
Lighthouse Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 This. I challenge anyone to name a player who has been more exciting. Lallana was excellent two years ago. I wouldn't say more exciting necessarily but he had some great moments, like the goals against Hull and Newcastle.

Suhari Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 Thought he was ****? Sure that was the collective wisdom of many of us on SWF about a year ago?
Clunge Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 When he came in was genuinely excited, looked good, quick feet, fast movement, everything saints lacked. Started half decent, by December though I think it was, couldn't stand him, clear potential but every time he had ball he'd end up on on his bum or giving it away. What a difference 12 months makes, the potential is there for all to see, quickest feet I've seen in a saints shirt and he can actually stay on his feet, by far and away our star player, let's enjoy him whilst we can!

benjii Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 He's not as good as Bale but apart from that he is probably as good as anyone since MLT.
SaintBobby Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 Can someone please, please, please dig up that thread with people saying Mane was a League One player. That was a peach.

He had, what, 3 bad games in a row last season? If that's enough to make you unable to stand him then you are quite clearly the sort of unnecessarily reactionary fan that is so prevalent in modern football. He happened to finish the month of December by scoring at Palace and helping us to an excellent win. Seriously, what is wrong with people that their opinions of players go from one extreme to another all the time? How about trusting in the coaches and management to help players out of a bad run of form and supporting them while they might be in one?
Whitey Grandad Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 Can someone please, please, please dig up that thread with people saying Mane was a League One player. That was a peach. Why would you want to do that?
Roboze Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 starting to look world class! great hunger for the game, and made players onmuch more money them him look like clowns today. seems very happy here....but if we don't offer what he's worth, and don't place the team in a position worthy of his quality, then he will of course have to leave the ball is in our court.... though as said above if he carries on like this we would be looking for mega mane/money! Pelle looking great as well COYS!
Saint_clark Posted 4 October, 2015 Posted 4 October, 2015 No chance he'll go in january and i think he'll stay for another season. £40million minimum.
LGTL Posted 4 October, 2015 Posted 4 October, 2015 He was absolutely ****ing superb today. Enjoy him while he's here.
rooney Posted 4 October, 2015 Posted 4 October, 2015 I cannot remember seeing any player with such a burst of pace from more or less a standing start. Magnificient.
Saint_Tony Posted 4 October, 2015 Posted 4 October, 2015 I said when we signed him he looked like he was going to be a frustrating player who would be great one week and poor the next. It looks like he is starting to get a bit of consistency now, I would go as far as saying he could be one of the top 10 best players in the PL this season. Shout out to Pelle too, gets a bit of stick but keeps on scoring and doing his job for the team. Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk
Wade Garrett Posted 4 October, 2015 Posted 4 October, 2015 Next year's TV deal has the potential to change football. Clubs like Saints will comfortably be able to offer big wages to keep their best players. Only those that actually want to play Champions League might leave.
Daft Kerplunk Posted 4 October, 2015 Posted 4 October, 2015 De Bruyne fee has set the benchmark, we are in a good position to fend off any interest so fingers crossed he is a Saint for at least a season and a half allowing us to identify and sign the next player who'll light up the game without anyone else recognising them first.
Batman Posted 4 October, 2015 Posted 4 October, 2015 De Bruyne fee has set the benchmark, we are in a good position to fend off any interest so fingers crossed he is a Saint for at least a season and a half allowing us to identify and sign the next player who'll light up the game without anyone else recognising them first. not quite a benchmark hasnt De bruyne got champions league experience, home grown and was the Bundesliga player of the season?
Daft Kerplunk Posted 4 October, 2015 Posted 4 October, 2015 not quite a benchmark hasnt De bruyne got champions league experience, home grown and was the Bundesliga player of the season? Yes De Bruyne has played in the CL and Mane will in the future, De Bruyne played for Genk until 2012 so he is not homegrown and who's to say Mane won't be like this all season and be one of the standout performers (in England only those who play for the media favoured teams win POTY, Germans are a bit more open minded). Mane is tearing up defences, he is fast, he's creative, he plays for the team, he is scoring goals. That's a player who commands a very high fee yes?

david in sweden Posted 4 October, 2015 Posted 4 October, 2015 I wonder if some of the old threads about him are going to be brought to life lol Agree. I can't recall who the poster was.... who said he was worse than Ali Dia ....
