Any interest in Mane?

Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - Knowing where the original story came from you can be assured that tehre is interest from Liverpool.}

I really hope not. Same old Liverpool policy. linked with higuain, gotze, hector, we actually get rondon, mane, and Gibbs. brilliant.

{Ed002's Note - You need to be able to interpret the clues if you really want to understand the Liverpool transfer policy under Klipperty Yipster. Klopp re-arranges his junk and it is a secret message to the fans that Dortmund wonderkid Schwanz Bälle will be making the move to Anfield this summer.}

Would be very happy if we signed Mane. Pace, power and goals.

Hey ed, many apologies, but I was traveling abroad when the original Mane story broke out, and when I was back the search engine returned far too many answers - so where DID the story come from, and IS there interest from Liverpool?

Also, I heard that Klopp changed the frame of his glasses, which means that we are selling Benteke, and replacing him with Maradona.

{Ed002's Note - It is unimportant where it came from Drigan.}

No interest in Mane. Far, far too inconsistent and overpriced for what he brings, which isn't much when you look closely.

Mane went from December until March with 0G, 1A. That's an 18 game stretch, literally half of the season, with Southampton's "star" winger literally offering Kolo Toure level offensive production.

He finished the season with 11G. "Not bad! " you say. But wait! On closer look, Mane literally scored more than half of his total goals (6 of them! ) for the entire season in the final 5 games, playing teams who mostly had nothing left to play for. For example, 3 of those 6 goals came against Man City's second string team, because by that game, there was nothing to play for.

However, in the previous 32 games, he had 5 goals. Woeful.

In fact, Mane did it last year too, scoring 4 goals in the final few games, 3 against an Aston Villa side who had nothing to play for. He seems to really wrack it up against weaker sides when there's nothing on the line.

Nothwithstanding these obvious shortcomings, I fully expect Mane to be our "marquee" winger signing, because FSG/ LFC can't seem to close a summer signing deal to save their life outside the EPL, but are happy to pay through the nose for overvalued EPL players.

I'd be interested in Mane if he would cost 5m. But Southampton are asking 40m. But we'll pay through the nose, and sign him to ridiculous wages, and then complain about his inconsistency when Mane disappears for 15 games at a time. It'll be Benteke all over again. And yet, the inconsistency was always there for anyone to see.

I can see why Mane is of interest.

He's quick (much needed)
He good in front of goal (needed)
He presses (prerequisite for klopp team)
Decent in the Air (useful plus)

Cons
player for southampton is not a con

He is inconsistent.
Discipline (but not in Balotelli league)

You pick any player and their will be cons. Mane has much of what Liverpool need and could be an excellent addition. If he consistently plays at his top level he will be a star. And that's for Klopp and the player himself to work on.

We need a player like this. I'm gutted we didn't get Dembele but Mane is a decent replacement for a player of this type.

Yeah great he's got some attributes that we are missing but for £30m you're telling me that's the best we can do. Smells of the benteke transfer if I'm honest.

Fees are for the club to work out.

I simply think Mane will improve our team and give a different dimension.

Who would you rather?

Also Price is much like Club comparisons.

You can't compare Mane and Benteke because they might cost the same.

Much like you can't compare Lallana and Mane because they both came from Southampton. You can only look at the attributes of a player and see what that brings to the table.

For me, If Klopp thinks Mane is worth a price, then I'm ok with it. I can see why he would be interested. that's all I'm saying.

If he doesn't feel like purchasing him for a high price, I can see the risk and understand.

Unltimately, Klopp has not given me a reason not to trust him in transfers so until that's the case I have full faith in him.
