Topic: Sadio Mané

[rob1966]

So the Bayern manager has admitted to tapping him up

Everyone does it, we got caught tapping Virg up, so best keep our heads down on that score.

[Golyo]

So when does this topic get moved to the former players' tab?

Oooh edited though, what did he say first?

"You will be missed by all of us (except me)"

and backed out of the deal to sign the player.

My partner’s daughter lives with a video and film maker who’s worked on different stuff with Mane and his entourage. He told me that Sadio is very committed to projects in his home region in Senegal, and the impression was strong that all those in his camp viewed him a little like a cash cow.

I have no way of proving this, but my gut feeling is that this Bayern move is all about the money - and not for personal gain, but to enable a continuation of the projects in his home country. I watched his interview on the club channel, and that gut feeling was reinforced.

I don’t know whether the oft repeated idea that he’s on a downward trajectory will prove to be salient, but I rather doubt it. He’s an incredibly durable player with a fantastic fitness record; he’s probably not as lightning quick as he was in his mid 20s, but I don’t see him being one of those who’s form and fitness fall off a cliff. Good luck to him.

Only for a bit, we got him 4 months into the season.

[TomDcs]

Still gutted, having just watched the LFC video waving him farewell.

Over riding sense of respect from him, but little niggles you can see in the body language when asked about the song (Mane, running down the wing…) and the manager improving him. That said, he couldn’t say a bad word, and he’s obviously motivated by continuing to challenge himself.

Wish him all the best, absolute legend.

[M4tt]

I noticed the same with how he reacted to those questions. I think there's an element of wanting to make more money but also possibly to get out of Salah's shadow

[Songs to Sing]

What about the manager improving him? I can’t see how he can feel negative about that?

Who knows the figures but I would be surprised if Bayern are paying him more than we were offering. They’re not renowned for astronomical salaries because they’ve nobody to compete with in Germany.

Fair play to him. He's dead right.

I too have always gotten the impression from Sadio that his main mission in life is to help the people of his country to better their lives and improve their communities. And that football is merely a vehicle to help him in attaining that. Obviously this is a Liverpool FC forum so people will naturally look at this from a footballing point of view, but in the wider context of things, I say fair fucks to him. If he wants to cream an extra few quid off Bayern to build schools in his home country then good for him. If a pay rise was on the table then I'd do exactly the same, and so would the vast majority of people. Anyone saying they wouldn't are just lying to themselves

Agree with this. Think something similar with Salah also. Both of them have been very selfless philanthropists in regards to where they came from.

Not if I was good enough to play for liverpool

But, amd I think this is the crux of the matter, I’m a liverpool supporter and it’s my life

awesome words from the boss..
“I respect completely his decision and I‘m sure our supporters do also. If you love LFC, you have to love Sadio – non-negotiable."

[lamonti]

Sally Armitage could really do with not talking, every time he opens his trap he sounds like a total fucking prat.

[Son of Spion]

He just doesn't look right in that Bayern top. 

[Thepooloflife]

Farewell Sadio - fantastic memories of a great player and person.....you deserve all the plaudits. The best of luck with your next venture.

The GDP per capita in Senegal is 1400 USD per year. So he will make about the same amount of money at Bayern as 10,000 people in his home country. He could afford to help a lot of people.

Trevor Sinclair on talkcrap this morning

*he was never lauded by the Liverpool fans
*why isn’t he being paid what he’s worth
*Klopps lost him by belittling Afcon

The levels of idiocy from him furthering all these points nearly made me crash the van

If only we'd have had a good song for him.

I suppose sometime soon this thread will be placed in the past players group of threads.

What's this people are saying about him being odd mentioning his song? He (half) sang the line from his song didn't he, I'm not sure it was a dig at Mo's song, it just has the same words. The way I took it he just said Mane instead of Sadio as the song actually goes.

You've sort of answered your own point.....'talkcrap' sums it up

[rushyman]

I have talkcrap on in the van. It breaks up the boredom between jobs

I hate everyone on there. I couldn’t give you a definable answer to be honest. I do a lot of things to myself I shouldn’t

I used to have it on but sacked it off over a decade ago,used to wind me up too much.

Listen to R6 or Absolute nowadays.

[Red Giant]

Great player, even better person.
Perfect fit for us. It was fun while it lasted.
Wish him well except when he plays against us.
Goodbye Main Man Mané!

Whilst previously on this thread I’d said that I’d rather lose Mane over Salah, I must admit the realisation of Mane not playing for us now is actually really sad. What an absolute beast of a player. He was immense at the end of this season and actually he was an absolute monster with us throughout his time here.

I will miss him, and wish him nothing but the best at Bayern!

[meady1981]

Never thought I’d say this but eager for the new season now.
Want to see the new reds.

I know what they’re doing aswell. Just fishing for calls

But I actually think Sinclair is too thick for even that. I think he genuinely believes what he was saying
