Shance Posted 11 November, 2015 Share Posted 11 November, 2015 Hopefully its that. So basically without going into too much detail and dropping someone in the **** a friend of mine works for a company that carries out routine contract work at Manes house. This person knows nothing about football, all they know is that they work at the house of a Saints player in Winchester. Thats why I asked where Mane lives. Yesterday the company was told the contract was not being renewed after January as the 'client' was moving. Apparently the boss then called the agent to ask for more clarification, and to ask why they couldn't carry on at his new address as they cover the whole of the south, the agent wouldn't say too much but the word Manchester was mentioned. I would have posted this earlier but I was at work and I'm buggered if I'm typing that lot out on a phone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L_O_Z Posted 11 November, 2015 Share Posted 11 November, 2015 Let Sadio go for £50m and get basically anybody but Andros Townsend, or just burn £12M, guaranteed better results. Omg I literally lmfao at that comment. I read it in my head like you had a fed up voice and I couldn't stop laughing. Think its the bit where you put "basically anybody but AT" On a serious note. 1. I can't see us getting 50 million (although Sideshow Bob went to PSG for that, so I suppose it's possible) 2. Due to point 1, I can't see us selling him in January 3. I think if he stays fit and in form, we will prob sell him next summer for 30-35 mil ish 4. It wouldn't surprise me if Mane actually improved. When he got here he couldn't stay on his feet and his running at defenders was pretty poor. From what I remember his comp vid at Salzburg seemed to show him as a bit of a poor finisher. Think he has the ability to improve a few things in his game, whether he does it here or elsewhere remains to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special K Posted 11 November, 2015 Share Posted 11 November, 2015 I'm wandering around Winchester a couple of times a day a few times a week and my Saints sightings over the past 4 years have been confined to Le Tiss and Van Dijk. I once saw Terry Hurlock, dressed in a shell suit, by the Buttercross. Fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelman Posted 11 November, 2015 Share Posted 11 November, 2015 Might be both, then Man U can be renamed Manhampton to go alongside Liverhampton. TBH, I am already bored of the transfer window and it is 7 weeks away from opening!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noodles34 Posted 11 November, 2015 Share Posted 11 November, 2015 On another note, you seriously don't think Mane is world class do you? I understand some on here thought that 'whathisname' that was on loan last season was world class, which was frankly a joke, and though clearly Mane is so much better than him, world class? World Class = being able to get in any team in the world, club and country. /QUOTE] Oh good Lord, Noodles, give it a rest - it was me that said it, not "some on here" and you know it. And I said "potential world class" which is a big difference. And I got it wrong about Eljero, and I'm not afraid to say it. The potential world class comment was connected to the level he had played at before - what can I say, I had high hopes. I also stuck up for Mane in the early days when everyone else was sl*gging him off, and the reason I liked him was because he looked so unconventionally crieative when he played, even though he clearly needed time to settle in. I'd say he has lots of potential to be world class even if your definition differs to mine. And frankly, I'm quite happy being the optimist that I am whether I get it right or wrong in the future. Now you go and polish your d*ck in the mirror and tell yourself what a clever boy you are if it makes you feel better!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christ, they moan about the lack of movement from Rooney. Pelle would be slaughtered by that lot after 60 mins and his career at the top would go the same way as Rickies. I think he's got more sense.

The9 Posted 11 November, 2015 Share Posted 11 November, 2015 You seriously think Bale would be £80m??? I very much doubt it. He's already been transferred for... well... On 1 September 2013, Bale was transferred to Spanish team Real Madrid for an undisclosed fee. The Spanish press and Real Madrid TV reported £77 million (€91 million), while the English press reported a world record transfer fee of £85.3 million (€100 million), which would be above Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer record fee of £80 million (€94 million).

angelman Posted 11 November, 2015 Share Posted 11 November, 2015 He may well have been transferred for that amount, but it doesn't mean his value has gone up. True he does have 3½ years left on his contract.

He's won a Champions League since then, alright he's not Ronaldo/Messi level but the only way Real are shifting him in the next 2 years is for an absolute wad of cash.

If you sold both in January it would destroy the team's morale and end any claim to be aiming for CL. IF JayRod was back, fully fit and scoring I'd sell Pelle for £30m and keep Mane until the summer.

Depends if the club re-invests it in good players I suppose. My guess is that no amount of money would make the club sell in January as it will affect the rest of the season and possibly harm future recruitment(higher up the table and Europe is more attractive than lower table). Next summer we will have Victor to cash in on and Mane won't be worth much less so those two will be sold and hopefully the squad will be strengthened again with 3-4 quality players.

I think playing a front 4 of Tadic, Davis, Rodriguez/Juanmi, Long would see us comfortably mid-table, but even that assumes we're not going to replace either of the players we sell in your scenario.
