Welcome, Sadio. I was wary of his signing but on his day he's a quality player. If Klopp can nurture a bit more consistency out of him then I don't see why he can't go on to be a success here.

Mane, Origi, Sturridge, possibly Markovic, Moreno (I know) and Clyne at full back and suddenly there's a lot of pace in our squad.

Liked Mane at Southampton but I do think 30 mil is expensive but if he delivers it'll be worth it like every transfer. It's 30 not 38.5 mil!

Probably just a reflection of the instability of the pound at the moment.

He'll frustrate us at times, he has moments where he looks like nothing can come off for him. He'll have off days for us.

He's a fantastic signing though. Forget the money.. You have to realise that nowadays football money is fucking ridiculous and nobody is worth what teams pay for them.

This is a lad who will do things for us that no other player we have can do. We badly needed a player like Mane. He will run in behind and he will score goals for us.

Very dangerous player. Great signing and someone that Klopp will improve too.

Honestly really excited about this.

The lad proved at Salzburg he could score 1 in 2 as a winger and he was doing that as a 20/21 year old. It's a lower level obviously but it still shows that he has that goal scoring capability.

Then at Southampton as a 22/23 year old he has scored at 1 in 3.

If Jurgen can get this right, then we can have a 1 in 2 or 1 in 2.5 games wide man. We also have Bobby Firmino who has shown he can that scoring touch.

You look at the lads behind the striker and it's pure goals. Would anyone honestly be shocked if Firmino hit 15 in the league next season? Or if Mane hit 15?

That's what we potentially have. Coutinho, Firmino and Mane are all 24 years old. They aren't young players now, they are at that age when players tend to move up a level.

With Mane, Firmino, Coutinho and Sturridge we could have a front 4 that hits close to 55-60 league goals

I can't recall the last signing the club made that just makes as perfect sense as this one does. Maybe Clyne last year. In terms of player type he's exactly what the club needs, he's young, he's been doing it for two years already in a similar system against the same level of competition.

Maybe he isn't the absolute best player the club could have signed at the fee touted. But it's about the eleven right players and not necessarily the best, and Mane as a missing piece I think can elevate he attack to be even greater than the sum of its parts. Any unease I might feel about Mane's supposed  inconsistency or the constant Southampton purchases is quelled by the fact that Klopp was getting the best out of a number of players here and Mane fits the attack's biggest weakness like a glove.

Geez dozens of pictures on the web site and he's not got a tilt on him, let alone a lean. The buggers straight up and down like he's being measured for a bespoke on savile row.

Either he doesn't know what he's doing or he's so damn cool he's avante garde cutting edge. Or else he's so fast he's got the lean in faster than the eye can follow. Hopefully thats it!

I think leaning should be in the past. This is a new era under Klopp and leaning hasn`t really done us any good. I think our next great player will be someone taking it in another direction. Someone reluctant to lean. This craving for "leans" by players, I don`t get it. Balotelli had some good leans, Benteke as well, but you see where that got us.I feel leaning is very overrated by Liverpool supporters.

The Liverpool based sources are saying it's the equivalent of €36m (£30m). When Troy Deeney can't be afforded with the same amount I'd say it's not as bad of a deal as it would have been this time last year.

Fantastic signing. Can see him hitting the ground running, seems a confident sort who'll be itching to get going. Front five of Sturridge, Mane, Firminho, Coutinho and Lallana is ridiculous - with Benteke, Ings, Origi, Ibe and Ojo in support.

We've basically just added 15+ league goals (10 scored, 5 assists) and even more pressing for £30m, which seems a fair price in today's market.

The first interviews drive me mad every time. Especially going on about Istanbul to a lad who was 13 years old when it happened. Sorry, how many times exactly have we won the European Cup? You'd think we'd only ever won it once the way they go on and on about it.

Anyway, that bollocks aside, really, really happy with this one. A 1 in 3 player, pace to burn, looks as fit as a butcher's dog. Will be very interesting to see how he fits in. I'll hazard a guess: extremely well indeed.

He fits in with what klopp wanta for the rm position.

But feel there was just as good for a lot less elsewhere.

But in general terms he's a good signing. But can we now affors a much needed DM and  mean a top quality one and a left back..because they have always been the main positions for me.

Hopefully benteke, balotelli and skrtel will be sold to fund them

Karius ?

I feel pretty good about Karius (and overall business under Klopp at this point) but also think there's a possibility Karius takes a little while to settle in and Mignolet starts off the year as the #1 keeper. Mane meanwhile I think is ready to step in and be a huge boost to a major role of need from the start. It's obviously the expectation with the fee, but the player's ability and the role we need him for match up perfectly to meet it. Just feels like the right player at the right time.
