Early days, needs to prove himself in this league of course, but this is the most excited I've been about a signing for us.

[Saint_clark]

Well that's a huge amount of pressure right off the bat.

I think that article is placing too much emphasis on stats as well - I wouldn't call Mane particularly selfish.

One thing I like is the quality players we are bringing in who are young: hopefully young, hungry, we can bring them on, keep them as long as we can

we'll have to wait a bit on that verdict, but if he's " only as good as Mane " ....we did get him for half the fee that we received for Mane

[hypochondriac]

I'm not a fan of articles that big up players before they have even played. Let him succeed on his own without all the expectation.

[shurlock]

Garbage article by another strongarm clone.

You cannot compare and evaluate players from different leagues like this....

 

Leigh Griffiths scored 32 goals last season Diego Costa 11 - Leigh Griffiths is better

 

Hatem Ben Arfa was one of the best players in the French league last season - averaged 1 goal per 2 games. In the premiership he averaged 1 in 11 and was pretty damn ordinary.

 

Let's just give him time to settle in and find his feet without pressure

Even with the ENORMOUS (big enough to make the point?) decline in standards of 'journalism' there is no way that this idiot who is the Arse fan calling himself "The Sippinator" could ever really be considered as anything other than an idiot a-hole behind a keyboard showing how wholly deficient of even basic sense, let alone the beginnings of the vestiges of that which could in millions of aeons turn into what might become 'intelligence', he is.

 

I suggest the OP who is normally not a wum/poor poster looks at his 'sources' better so we are not subjected to click-bait which should never even have been the opportunity to be considered still-born.

 

If you haven't yet read the link; don't bother: you'd be better off reading, enjoying and trusting as Gospel the posts of the regular WUMs on this site.

The smile on my face last night when he was doing this was huge

 

Fabrice Fernandez reborn.

[Saint_clark]

Shame they missed him going past another one just after that at the byline, after he gets the ball back.

[niceandfriendly]

Gives the ball away very, very easily and often finds himself running into players more often than he goes past them. But he is starting to show signs of promise and hopefully he will come good soon.

[petts]

He's going to be some player, that's obvious from the little seen of him so far.

All I know was that in his first few appearances for us when Mane played he was not getting the rave reviews that Boufal is getting.

 

He's being compared to a second season Mane in that article it would be better against the first season one.

[a1ex2001]

The lad looks quality only time and the size of liverpools inevitable bid will tell us if he is better than mane! He is a saint for now though so let's enjoy him!

And in other news Redmond is the new Henry.

Didn't we say the same about Mane when he first came? Interesting to hear the commentators from Tuesday's game saying Mane was 'not at his best tonight'. His co-commentator replied 'yes, just like saturday....' Sound familiar?

[LaptopSaint]

Boufal is absurdly talented. One he gets up to speed in the Prem, he's going to be awesome. When we sell him it will be for a lot more than Mane. Fact. (Ish). COYR
