I've had a penchant for volatile Senegalese strikers cum wide men since 2002, you boys are late to the party.

Was a bit worried as to where this post was going

Difficult for him to live up to such a price tag.  I'm on the fence with this one, but here's hoping that he hits the ground running and puts any doubts about him to rest.

Sturridge
Coutinho - Firmino - Mane

Seems obvious to me.

who are the backups for that formation?

I think he'll be a good signing. 

How we view him as a signing in this window depends largely on what improvements we do/don't make to midfield.

I have a feeling we're going to slowly stop thinking about the price tag as more and more signings come into the PL. 30m already doesn't seem like all that much anymore.

As for Mane...welcome. He's got the tools to succeed here, and we've got the manager to help him do it.

Thanks Guys - I'm not sure Milner will like being played wide - didn't he leave City for 2 reasons

1 to get more games
2 to play in central midfield

After hearing Klopp waxing lyrical, if that's not enough for people to get excited, then not much else will.

Fee seems high to me if Mkhitaryan is going to the Mancs for £26 million. Still them signing Depay & us signing Firmino last summer worked well.

It's actually around £35m. And he has a year left on his contract, Mane has 2.

Mkhtaryan is also a couple of years older, with a lower chance of resale. Not dramatically different, but that plus the contract thing surely accounts for the 4m 'discount.'

2 to play in central midfield

He might play some games in central midfield as well as giving some cover in the wide roles. He didn't complain about being used that way last season.

With Ings, Origi, Lallana, Ibe, Ojo and Markovic all able to slot in as well, he might be glad to get on the pitch at all.
