Sadio Mane

https://www.ja606.co.uk/articles/viewArticle/346631

I admit I have revisited this article posted in 2016 a fair bit but watching the Senegalese display yesterday left me with little choice.

His hold up play, desire and constant running, wore down Barca physically and mentally, that in the end the Catalans could not could focus their scrambled brains to defend a basic flag kick.
The POTY gong may have gone to VVD but Mane is my player of the season.
As the last word in the 2016 post suggests; indeed,Klopp is not stupid.

Let Liverpool have him, just the kind of hit and miss player that suits them.

I'd rather we get Mkhitaryan. I'm sure Liverpool would rather him too.

Kudos to Koeman for plucking him from the obscurity of the Austrian league.
If only our dictator, all knowing Frenchman manager took a chance on him instead of packing the team with players in his mould- fairies and ballet dancers bereft of a modicum of cojones.

Been saying it since he joined pool. This guy is one of the best players in the league and would walk into most teams in the world.

If pool took him to market he would be over £100M

For once, I agree with you Castor👍

Mane is a good player absolute no doubt. Without doubt I would want him at Arsenal.

He caused Barca all kind of problem on the left side, right but that alone wasnt the reason he shone. He had a partner behind him on this side who support him and gave him a breather when he needed it.

Imagine Sane and Son on either wings in the same team.
The oppositions defenders will probably be stretchered off the pitch with exhaustion before the 70 minutes mark😀

Klopp wanted him at Dortmund but after meeting him and talking to him there wasn't that feeling, 3 months later he regretted it, said probably cause Dortmund could only afford one player in that position said when the chance came again he wasnt gna make the same mistake./

I always liked Mane used to watch quite a lot, remember joking with my mate pretty much everytime about Mane and if he was gna rip it up. Then when we signed him i questioned the fee, which is just how i am probably still part due to previous flops we have had, even from SH like Lovren. Im still cautious on our signings even if i like them before we are linked and sing their praises, i'd be the same if it was messi in his prime probably.

But yeah, i liked Mane a lot.

I rated Mane at Southampton but he's gone to another level now, world class player. It's annoying how we rarely buy PL proven players from mid table clubs, the clubs around us have had a lot of success with those players.

You are so right.
Recall Wenger faffing around bidding for Gabriel when Alderweireld (on loan from Ath Madrid to Southampton) was available for a paltry £11 million
