I remember many on here (including myself) doubting the transfer fee of a certain player from Southampton, Mane.

On that basis, and if it does happen, he might just show us what he's worth.

Of course, we have have others to contend with, but you never know.

At the end of the day the transfer fee is irrelevant, it's not our money so who cares.

If it's a player we need then that's all that matters.

Also his mentality was questioned. Thankfully we did sign him.

I was one of those who frowned at Mane and Wij signings and I have been forced to eat crow so I'm not going to be questioning Klopp anytime soon about signings.

I think the issue people had with mane was his attitude. Obviously £34m was a lot for anyone, nobody could say they didn't bulk at the transfer fee but some of us genuinely wanted him. Like with Lallana I thought he would be a great signing but at £25m I wasn't so sure. You win some and you lose some, and to be honest we have been losing far too often. Even last summer, it was a hit and miss summer, mane Matip and wiji have all come good but karius, grujic, klavan haven't. I guess the others didn't cost nearly as much so it's not as negative as it may seem but just taking into account our record before hand, I hope this summer breaks the cycle. I hope we hit more than miss.

Also where mane and wijnaldum Klopp signings. I thought they where both looked at before and recommended to Klopp.

Mane was a trouble on and off the pitch but there was never a doubt on his ability.

Kman, Mane and Wiji were Klopp signings, thru and thru. Klopp wanted Mane at BVB since the 2012 Olympics where he tore it up with Kouyate, Pape, Souare, Gana Gueye of that brilliant Senegal team. He then went to Red Bull Salburg then to Saints. Klopp himself said he would have paid a lot more to get him as he was THE player he wanted.

as for Wij, Klopp wanted Zeilinski but due to tapping up allegations against Klopp, Udinese wouldn't sell to us and sold to Napoli instead. Then, Wij was his next choice.
