Topic: Sadio Mané

[Gerry Attrick]

You’d say it’s possible he’s played his last game for them.

[Black Bull Nova]

Not sure really, it’s a bit weird, cos I think he was training with them this morning, then Bild run a story a couple hours later saying he’s suspended!

So not sure if this will be anything other than suspended from the next game or two. 

But yeah, he’s not made a great impression there, apart to Sane’s face. Wouldn’t be a surprise if Bayern do try and move him this summer.

Prepare to recieve replies to this of all the players who did go on to do very well after leaving LFC 

Mane was a good player when he arrived, but inconsistent I would say, but yes, he went on to be absolutely world class here.  We knew when he left his best years where behind him.

Sterling and Suarez (both of whom proved profitable)


v


Brewster, Mane, Wijnaldum, Torres, Origi, Sturridge, Coutinho, Sakho, Benteke, Ibe, Borini


Solanke? Ings?

[Dim Glas]

Im not sure about that. Didnt Milner and Klopp almost come to blows? Nothing wrong with offering out a colleague for a straightener.

well, the ‘almost’ is quite the difference maker there isn’t it? if it’s true.

And, of course, many arguments, even the odd fight, but I don’t think it’s that a common a thing for a player to punch a teammate in the face.   The marks would likely give the game away if it happened all the time!

Rest of the season you'd think. No way he stays there after the season is over.

He'll be playing in the Middle East next season.

[tubby]

Or even Newcastle.  Which is kind of the same thing anyway.

[paulrazor]

You can include Mascherano and Alonso in that. Possibly a case for Raul Meireles too. Players who didnt light it up here but did well elsewhere like Grujic, Aspas, chirivella, suso and Luis Alberto have had success they didnt have here, they didnt fit in for what ever reason. Even Allan has done well back in Brazil but more than likely he would have been lost in the shuffle here and probably had work permit issues.

I think we get more right though than wrong. Way more, even kids like Camacho, Ibe and Solanke being sold for huge fees and not really looking anything special

[WhereAngelsPlay]

It'd be the same owners.

[MJD-L4]

Sadio has won virtually everything with us, he didn’t owe us anything. Also isn’t it amazing how people judge players who leave, but are happy for clubs to be able to do whatever they want?

Didn't say he owed us anything and actually was pleased for him to be able to move on on his own terms when it was announced. It'll be in the thread somewhere.

Just pointing out that we've had plenty of big players in the past that have moved on for different reasons and their performances and standing in the game have taken a dive once they've gone.

Not sure what you were going for with that post.

[Fromola]

Missed him for ages but time moves on, he is 31 and isnt going to get any better

We got his best years

Our team is falling apart and one reason is players in their 30s playing a high intense level for 5-6 years

signing a 31 year old who was around nearly all of them years isnt going to help.

A club legend but its in the past.

We haven't refreshed enough is the problem. We let Mane and Wijnaldum go at 30 so it's a reality check for where a few of ours are at the moment. They had signed in 2016 as well so had those extra years of intensity compared to most.

You were making it sound as though it was a terrible thing that he would even think about leaving us. I have always been pragmatic about footballers especially ones like Sadio who have given everything for the club while they were here, when they decide to move on. Sometimes you get too comfortable at a place and at the end of the day football is a limited career and he had every right to test himself elsewhere. I think sometimes fans expect footballers to be like them and they're not, they have to make the most of their careers. That's why I was happy for Sadio to look for a challenge somewhere else. Though he chose the wrong time to go to Bayern.

Absolutely. Sadio is a Liverpool legend. It's silly to mention him in the same sentence with Coutinho or Torres. He never said a single bad word against our club, our fans or his teammates - neither when he was here, when he was about to leave or when he left. There is zero room for bitterness towards Sadio.

Those malicious jokes that people are making in here about chanting his name, actually he never said anything about that.

A fair few missing off the first list (Xabi, Masch, Arbeloa) - and some questionable ones on the bottom - Sakho, Benteke and Borini were shite here, Ibe and Brewster were all potential (and Michael Edwards did a steal). Sadio and Gini I feel are in the same spot as a number of players who are still here - we've put a lot of miles on the clock!

Malicious 

You should blame his fellow countrymen in Angola.

Anguissa, not Angola. Angola was a virus that originated in Africa.

[TepidT2O]

He’s being sold in the summer is what’s being reported…

This is WILD!

Yes Sadio had a feisty side, but this move has not gone in the way I could ever have anticipated..

[Knight]

Ageing forwards gonna age. Quite aside from this latest thing he’s clearly not pulled up trees for them.

Bayern Munich will listen to offers for Sadio Mané to leave the club in the summer.  A striker is the main priority.

[Hazell]

I'm sure there was someone on here complaining that a lot of Senegalese people felt Liverpool didn't value enough (less than Salah!) and that's why he left for Bayern. Would be good to hear from them again.

[Chakan]

He'll end up at Newcastle.

[lfcthekop]

He'll end up at Newcastle.

This would be my guess too.

[WhereAngelsPlay]

Hero to zero.

 Fisco, he had a full list of reasons! I remember a few posters on here getting angsty when people pointed out how most of the points were bollocks.

[kavah]

Hope he goes to City and knocks them all out 


Seriously I hope he's alright and ends up somewhere nice and bangs a few goals in next season - just not against us

[Ravishing Rick Dude]

I've read somewhere that Sane has insulted him with some racial slur.

[In the Name of Klopp]

So the reason he punched Sane was, bc Sane called him a black shit. Also, Mané has recently lost a close family member and is grieving. Maybe maybe he lost his head bc it isn't easy when you've lost a beloved one and one of your teammates is treating you shit. I'm not justifying what Mané did, but so many people were ready to throw him to the wolves without knowing the ins and outs.

Never leave Liverpool

He my be needed in the final against Napoli, you never know...

Load of nonsense there were people who wanted him to leave I seem to recall so let's not play this game.

[End Product]

Offer a loan deal 50 per cent of his wage,  he knows the system knows Mel reddy , all sorted.

Doubt he'd want to go there.

[King Kenny 7]

I think we offer Ł2.7M (there is precedent) and bring him home.

What's the source on this?

Very odd. Isn't sane black too?  Doesn't make sense

I think he'll end up at Altetico or at Chelsea

That's the fellow. Wasn't he in Rosie and Jim?

I love the romanticism but I wouldn't want him back.
