Turkish Posted 7 October, 2015 Share Posted 7 October, 2015 They've warmed to the idea. I had a look on redcafe.net over the weekend and they want Mane in January FFS. He's a world-beater all of a sudden and they are drooling over a front three of Martial, Memphis and Mane. Cockroaches the lot of them. Cockroaches they are. What sort of fans would have completely flip their view on a player? I'm sure If he were to join them he'll quickly become a whipping boy there though, cheered when he's substituted, slagged off all game with their forums full of petty comments such as "what a waste of mane" "I wish he'd f*ck off" "get rid of him now" not to mention labelling him the worst player since Eric Djemba-Djemba. The Cockroaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 7 October, 2015 Share Posted 7 October, 2015 People getting carried away again. Just as people got carried away in his few few weeks saying that he was ''non-league'' standard, people now saying he's one of the best players in the world is the opposite extreme to that. He's a very good player for us, very dangerous at this level. Let's stop it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then use the money to buy 3 young players that have similar potential and repeat the process. good solution all round. After all... MU don't mind spending that sort of money on players, they'd hardly miss it, and it'll give our transfer kitty a real £ boost. On the other hand ....it would be a real compliment to SFC if he was happy to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 7 October, 2015 Share Posted 7 October, 2015 Mane can play in more than one position of either a 1-4-2-3-1 or 1-4-3-3 so will be a valuable asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corky morris Posted 9 October, 2015 Share Posted 9 October, 2015 Mane fits the Southampton FC model perfectly. Buy for £5m - £12m, keep for 2-3 years, sell for £20m - £30m. Its inevitable. There is a lad in my middle lads football team who is a Celtic fan because of his dad & grandad. Talking last week to his dad & never realised Celtic's top player is on £30k pw. Ours is £60k pw. The 6 above us in the league pay £100k+ pw. That's why we can sign Forster, Wanyama & Van Dyk. Agents, players & media know this & that's why we will always lose players to teams who pay bigger salaries.

simondo Posted 9 October, 2015 Share Posted 9 October, 2015 To be fair to all involved, if United come in Jan with a £25m+, £100k/w bid, Sadio will be gone... so who could we we bring in for lower teams / abroad of similar qualities...?

Eden Hazard..? ;-) I very much doubt that would be enough to tempt Saints to sell their best player mid-season. He'll probably be sold summer 2016 for a huge price, especially as the new 2016-2019 TV deal will inflate transfer fees even more. I'm not saying we'll get this price... but is Raheem Sterling at £49m really significantly more effective than Sadio Mane? Mane has given Chelsea the runaround in three games now, he is a huge threat to any defence in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anybody else comes in and there is an auction for his services, then so much the better. Who else is out there to replace him? Some other player just like him playing for a minor club in Europe or Africa whose potential has not been spotted yet, but who will already be on our radar. It isn't the first time that we have identified players whose value has shot up after we have polished them and put them in the limelight of the PL and it won't be the last.

cobbysouth Posted 9 October, 2015 Share Posted 9 October, 2015 This selling are best players and buying cheap alternatives abroad may be great when it works but it's not sustainable.

Even if it works for the next 2 or 3 transfer windows eventually the replacements won't be good enough. Is that such a hard thing to see? I really don't think it is a plan to keep replacing players. It just happens because other clubs want them and because their contract are running down to the point where, if they aren't going to sign a new contract we are better off selling rather than letting them go later for nothing. I am sure they would much rather keep the likes of Mane and Wanyama. But the club have to live in the real world. We are not alone in this. It happens to very club that has players that other teams want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The life cycle of any football team will mean that is going to happen anyway. If you'd rather we only bought players that the richest clubs won't touch with a bargepole then fine, but we'd likely be a sh it team. Producing a team every season with two or three players the top four want is a great way to maintain us as a club in the top ten. There isn't any other strategy that will do that any better, if you accept as you need to that we will never try and match Champions League wages. Seriously, our current strategy is the most sustainable we'll get to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Sadio will stay (at least in the short term), but if he holds his present form, and does move ....I'd want nothing less than a new club record fee for him.
