Let him have one last Anfield goal.

As a 90th minute consolation when we're already 4-0 up.

In his own net.

I’d put money on Mane being the top scorer next season, especially if Lewa does go.

Gutted to hear the news about him to be honest.

However Klopp needs to start building his next team, which I think has been obvious for at least twelve months given the age of some of the players.

I can't help but think about us playing in three finals, two with extra time and not scoring a single goal. I'm hoping that we can sign someone that can provide that bit of 'extra' clinical finishing in these big games against the top teams.

I mean we're not going to sign another forward unless Salah goes, so the hope is that Nunez, and a more settled Diaz, and a back in form Salah, are those players. Not forgetting Jota too who can always pop up with an important goal.

The Suarez return with Barcelona was wonderful, probably doesn't get any better than that. Was Coutinho also involved that night as I can't remember as he'd become irrelevant by then.

I'm genuinely not too bothered about losing players these days (i just worry about them being replaced) but not going to lie seeing Mane in another shirt is weird and going to take a while to process.  An absolute legend that typified everything about Klopps football.  He brought so much to this team in every game so it's going to be interesting to see how the team evolves without him.  Anyway good luck to him.

Not sure why everyones got worked up over him going. Great player for us, but has decided hed like to fuck off. See ya. Good luck an all that, but no big deal.

Not that arsed about whether Salah stays or goes either to be honest.

Even if could all have this emotional detachment towards players that were crucial to our success in recent years, like you do, you're saying fans shouldn't be bothered about losing proven world-class forwards, for little to no money? Players of the quality of Mane and Salah don't grow on trees, you know.

Of course they do, that's not the point, though. People are obviously going to be upset by the loss of one of our best players in recent years, who's also won a shit ton of titles, and is still playing at a very high level, even if he's not exactly at his prime anymore. It's a natural and understandable reaction, especially when you lose him for a fraction of his actual worth.

I don't think taking players of the level of Salah and Mané for granted, is a smart way to go about things though. It will not be easy to replace their impact on a football field, when or if they go, no matter how much false bravado one spouts. I have all the faith in the world in Klopp and the stuff to do so, but there are things that are obviously out of their control.

I agree with most of these sentiments. But perhaps Salah and Mane would have never became the players they are now had it not been for Klopp and all the coaches. Perhaps them going elsewhere will not be as big a success as people think. Players are not Lego building blocks; you get the double red here and put it there and you have a new shape. In fact, the recent Liverpool transfer history confirms that. The days when Suarez, Xabi left and had big success elsewhere seem gone now. And finally, perhaps our analytical team has seen a trend in a player that will only get worse with time and won't help us win more titles. I don't know, it's a complex issue with many variables. Nowadays, I just trust the club to make the right decision, and I'm at peace with Mane leaving and wish him good luck. And I will do the same to Salah next season when he leaves.

Never really bothered me when a player leaves, Mane is no exception. However, a nod to the club and a quick mention of the good times may have led to his departure ending on a higher note, as it stands it all seemingly went a bit sour very quickly. This behaviour seems to be happening more often with our ex players,  or am I just seeing things?! I guess eventually the full and true story will emerge.

Been fantastic but life goes on.

I think he is a wonderful player, and person given all he does in his homeland. I shook hands briefly with him once and he was one of those people you could tell was a nice guy just by shaking his hand.

At this club we always move on when people leave, there are examples of great players leaving and we didnt really pull up many trees in the years after (Torres, Mascherano and Suarez). That was probably because we werent at a great level then, ok with Suarez we had just finished 2nd but it felt like we punched well above our weight that year.

Alonso was perhaps the best example of a signing leaving and the team going pear shaped but again the clubs instability at the time was the main reason we struggled after he left.

Mane is a huge loss but for all the examples of above there have been others who left and it didnt take us long to get over it, players who had been hugely successful and were club legends and we got over it and still marched on.

Keegan in 77, big loss but in comes Dalglish and we retained the european cup and continued to be a dominant force in England and Europe

Souness in 84, season after wasnt great but then two years later we won the double.

Rush in 87, ok he was only gone a year but I am sure when you sell him you think the good times are over but the following year was one of the greatest, most entertaining sides we ever had.

McManaman in 99 left for free, ok we had been poor for years but losing a player of his calibre for free is not a good thing. 2 years later we won the treble

Michael Owen in 2004, our highest scorer every season for 6 years, leaves and we win the champions league

Coutinho in 2018, leaves, we end up in 3 of the next 5 cl finals winning one as well as the league and every other major competition

Wijnaldum who won a lot of honours with the club leaves in 2021 and a year later we win trophies and almost win the quadruple.

“Sadio received us at his home. He was relaxed in shorts and holding a mango. He smiled and welcomed us with ‘Servus’.”

"Then the coach explained to him our sporting concept. Sadio noticed quickly why he would be a perfect player for FC Bayern and that his way of playing football fits us like a glove. In the end we showed him a presentation.”

"Our visit lasted around 4 hours. I told him that every person in charge at Bayern is convinced he would fit our team at 100%. Sadio brings not only footballing qualities and goal threat, but also this hunger that has always characterized FC Bayern.”

Does hurt more than it should seeing him in another shirt, but I hope people don't carry on as if he's put it out there himself. Someone will have leaked it or lashed it on twitter or something. He'll probably have just done a medical/interview or something. Nothing to be annoyed about.

I share none of the animosity directed towards him. He gave us his best years, and clearly felt it was a natural time to move on. He had a great few months after January, but the signs of decline have been there over the last couple of seasons. It's time for us to evolve too. Thank you Sadio. A true great, and one of our best ever. He's given us some incredible memories, and will be remembered as the first signing that kicked off the Klopp era.

Pissed with the fee though, Ł27m potentially rising to Ł35m is very underwhelming.
