Rooney, Fellaini are terrible to average footballers, combine someone like a normal Ozil, James with players that have pace like Mane, Martial, Rashford and then you get something, or players who have both like Coutinho's, Hazards. But not wanting a player like James because he isnt fast is just ridiculous to me.I don't disagree with any of that. But it's even harder to stretch teams with players like Mata, Rooney, Fellaini etc. playing at a snails pace. You keep mentioning the CL but how about we start performing in the league first before thinking of beating the Barcelona's of this world? Pace is overrated but at the same time relevant. And it isn't by no means the only reason to not want James Rodriguez.
Mane is terrific. I don't know why you're classifying him as a non CL player. Every player doesn't have to be the same. Some are paced dribblers, others are goalscoring second strikers. It takes different types and all that.
Mane is a good player but not half as excellent as some people think imo, he's never a player I would fear, not even when he is opposed to Blind. On his day when he can exploit his pace and running power he can be excellent, also quite a good finisher, but nothing elite.
