Sadio Mané

[Pablo]

I'm gutted that he appears to be leaving to be honest.

[Shaggy]

I feel oddly nonplussed.

[wiw]

About general football or Mane?

[Shaggy]

Mane, but also football. Post Paris effect

[wiw]

You're not alone

I feel oddly non-plussed.

I agree & I feel the same about Mo too strangely enough

[Norbs]

Evolution and a nice change innit

Plus there's nothing like laughing at an ex-player who made a bad choice

As long as we have more of a chance winning trophies, then that is all that matters.

So when Coutinho left, we then changed the way we played and used the money to make the team better.

But I am not sure that will be possible now - it is a lot harder to improve us nowadays. But hopefully JK et al will find a way.

I think Mane is a fantastic player, but blows too hot and cold to be considered world class. Plus, at 30 and reliant on pace, perhaps now is the right time to trade in, Mane this year, Salah next.

Be sad to see him go, a genuinely nice fella and never short of effort or desire.

[Fosterbloke]

Bring on the new guard!

There is always a Thiago or Konate transfer that comes along and shows us that an area we thought we were strong in could be improved upon.

Mane I think the club knew about wanting to leave for a long time. Diaz was meant to be a summer buy after all, but we moved earlier for him when Spurs made a move for him.

Have total confidence in our current set up being able to replace any player we currently have be it like for like or in a strengthen the overall team to make up for the loss sort of way.

I think Bayern will work out ok for him. Title guaranteed etc. Proper football club. It is a better move than PSG for example.

I still class it as a downhill step for him though obviously

Yeah I am trying to get onboard with him leaving, and the idea of building a new attack is exciting, but I wish he was staying as I think he's still got a few good 2/3 years left in him at his peak.

If we were getting a big fee I'd feel a bit better about it all but ~£30m and potentially losing Salah on a free in 12 months is a bit of a sickener to be honest.

[Fivex]

Yeah, we'd have been looking at around £250m for the pair of them 18 months ago.
