      I'm made up, Jürgen wants him so I do too. My only gripe about the 30 million quid fee is that it's likely to be the only 30 million quid transfer we'll do this Summer (unless we sell one for that much). I'd like to buy four of the buggers, starting with a top class left back, then a goal scoring box to box midfielder.

      I'd love two midfielders. Looking like we will be starting next season with Moreno at LB, though.

      Not cheap. But he's still better than Fookin Nowan.

      I see Mane as a straight replacement for Sterling. We got £50million for Sterling, so Mane + £20millionish is not too bad a swop. Get Gotze with that £20million and we are looking pretty good ?

      I dunno mate... who does Ryan Bertrand play for? Remember that old adage - "Every Southampton player has his price." :laugh: :f_tongueincheek:

      I love your thinking s@int.

      Certainly beats the Sterling money [£35.2 million to Liverpool and £8.8 million to QPR plus £6.5Million if city win the champions league] = Benteke school of thought  ;)

      So with us spending:

      £11m on Clyne
      £20m on Lovren
      £25m on Lallana
      £34m on Mane

      How did we ever get Ricky Lambert for just £4m, granted he was sh*te but it was still a decent price, what happened to our negotiators from that point.

      Does make me wonder if Jürgen told Ayre that he wants one main signing done before he gets back from holiday and Ian is now sat in the bosses chair with a grin like a cheshire cat.

      Oh yeah he's been linked, forgot about that. Really believe Mane is a Klopp signing but, not to be out done, the committee will want of their own from there.

      Won't be surprised if I see Lallana where you've put Firmino quite a bit.

      Mane will certainly bring alot of pace to our front line. I'd like to see hin play wide left with sturridge wide right and Origi or firmino up top. Have Phil coming in from a deeper atacking role behind them. This is because I'm not totally convinced in sturridge up top on his own.

      not sure what sturridge has to do to convince people. Our best striker by a mile, out wide is a complete waste, leave that sh*t to Woy.

      I guess it depends on what we class as "better" mate.

      We don't have a natural "fit" for that 2nd midfield slot so if he (Grujic) does "fit" it then he's going to be "better" than what we've got. 

      That's how I'm trying to view our recruitment this summer mate.  If we get "better fits" rather than just "better players" then doesn't that mean we improve the whole?

      saw that too
      and now even BBC is reporting £34m which could rise to £36m ,while the saints were asking £40m
      while the echo (which I tend to believe more) saying its a £30m deal
        YNWA

      It's all Bollocks......
      The actual price is well over £256m... That includes his wages and signing on fee..... But we as in LFC own  the sperm in his bollocks so we own the rights to all the little Sadio's in the future and stops us 'Spunking' zillions in the future ;D.

      Hopefully he's  impervious to the weight of the huge price that was paid. I worry coming to a big pond from a small pond, he's going to be under immense pressure. If the poor guy goes 2 or 3 games without a goal, it could turn into Benteke part II

      Well that's a lie. He's obviously going to go a period without scoring at some point, just hope it's not a stretch of 15+ games.

      Why would there be uproar when the player clearly fits how we play, both now and under Brendan, and brings exactly what our attack is missing?  Pace, power, aggression and goals.

      We looked at him 2 seasons ago before he went to Saints but somebody at the Club pulled the plug on the deal, the player himself confirmed this earlier this year. 

      We get it mate, you don't rate him/think he's too expensive etc etc but don't try justifying our excitement as hypocrisy because he's arrived under Jürgen.

      If I'm not mistaken you were firmly behind the benteke signing and used to quote me and pick at everything I said that was 'negative' in that thread too.

      My thoughts on mane - decent enough player although very inconsistent but he will fit in here far more than the likes of benteke or Carroll ever did, but for 34m we are well and truly getting raped as usual and it's my opinion we aren't getting value for our money and it could be spent better elsewhere.

      That's all I'll say on the matter, can't be arsed with another summer of me bickering with posters over signings I'm not best pleased with. I just think we are the laughing stock of the transfer market.

      Anyway, welcome mane and good luck mate. Hope you hit the ground running.

      No, it's supposition which means it can't really be a lie. A lie is stating something as factual that's not.

      Liverpool have never won a European title.

      That's a lie.
