Sadio Mane

[Hansern]

The Daily star, yes I know, reckon a deal with Ibe going the other way could have happened when Koeman was in charge but is now on hold.
20 mill + Ibe for Mane. I could almost live with that. But its obvs the Daily star.....

 

[Kay Age El]

I don't like the look of that deal at all.

Jordon Ibe could have ONE good season and he'd be a £30M player himself. I hope it's bollocks.

 

[cloggypop]

I was gutted when I heard manure were gonna buy him last season. That's coz he's fucking boss.

You dickheads don't know a decent footy player when you see one.

Is he better than Benteke though?

Mane has scored 10 Premiership goals in the last two seasons.

 

[Mors]

Mane has scored 10+ Premiership goals in each of the last two seasons.

For accuracy

 

[Hansern]

For 20 mill + Jordon Ibe then its okay. But if Soton start looking for 30 mill + I'd look elsewhere.
Boufal, Yarmolenko etc

I think £20m plus Ibe is supposed to add up to £30m. Which is what they probably want.

Whether they want Ibe, or value him that highly, is an issue.

They're already highly salty about Koeman. I wouldn't fancy our chances of a fruitful negotiation. Not that that ever happens anyway.

 

[StevieM]

Ok....

£10m + Lucas.

Surely they won't turn down the chance to sign the best tackler & most complete midfielder the world has ever seen for a pitiful £20m or so?

That's a deal..

Yeah, I agree. We'll get fucked on this deal if we want to sign him.

 

[binomial]

I'd be all for £20-25m + Ibe for Mane.

I'd actually be very excited by this signing.

£30 million bid Submitted. .

If this deal comes off, That will be £92 million we have paid to Soton over the last few years...

Should of just bought the club instead...

 

[manwithnoname]

Eeek. If 30m is the *first* bid.....

 

[cloggypop]

He are deffo spending 40 million on him. Might as well just accept it now really.

At least we might forget Andy Carroll.

Every cloud.....



....has another cloud lurking just behind it

 

[cloggypop]

It's only a bit more than a Troy Deeney.

Soton want 30 mill according to the media reports. Havent seen anywhere what we bid for him.

A few peeps are saying we are prepared to pay that figure and a bid has been made.. James Pearce from the Echo has mention something relating to this..

A bid apparently also has been made of £7m for Ben Chirwell from Leicester but has been rejected..

They are holding out for £10 million..

And Benteke..

 

[Skullflower]

see him as a sterling replacement -- for less than we got for him -- and it's not so bad

 

[cloggypop]

I'll be made up now at 30.

Is he any good?

 

[Skullflower]

he's probably better than sterling

 

[cloggypop]

Yeah but shit plays for Man City fuck him Sterling or might turn out boss still at us Sterling?

dunno

 

[cloggypop]

dunno

Fuck it. It'll do.

 

[Squiggles]

He's fast and direct, which we do definitely need. But he's not a £30m footballer even in today's market. I'd rather look elsewhere.

Why not? How many wingers under 25 years old have scored over 10 league goals per season and are available for less the £30M? We sold Sterling for almost £50M...

 

[manwithnoname]

He's scored a few against us, but that's nothing new. Terrorised Chelsea too, just before Mourinho got sacked.

15 goals last season, 10 the season before. Very quick. Strong. Plays like an actual winger, so the "attacking threat out wide plus goals" bit seems sorted, but he's not just a line-hugger, as the amount of goals he scores will attest.

I seem to recall some moans about consistency from some quarters. And he went a while without scoring too.

I've only seen him play maybe three or four games, but I've been impressed every time.

In a world were Troy Deeney is worth £30m, and Adam Lallana £25m, that seems rather specious.

But yeah, no doubt it's a lot of money
