This season's Fellaini. great.
He should read this forum so.
Mane is good. Zaha is shit.
I enjoy my passive aggressive anger, I'm told It gives me smouldering charm
No problem with your response which is reasoned. What you posted however was a mockery of concerned fans whose club have just lost out on a top player and subsequently been linked with, well, if we're being generous is a player with potential and then told them to get a grip and trust the manager.
Despite what you may want to believe it's quite likely Pedro simply chose Chelsea and LvG has gone down the list. It's certainly not self-evident enough to mock people and until the truth comes out people are well within their rights to be disappointed.
As it happens I never thought we'd get Pedro I thought he'd stay at Barca, think we'd all have proffered that now
How does any of that article relate to the headline "Sadio Mane: Southampton admit Man Utd interest in winger"?
The BBC are quickly becoming a tabloid when it comes to football news.
Being booed at Old Trafford? Constantly referred to as something less than human on here? That kind of thing?
Yeah against a depleted Club Brugge
He could be our Douglas Costa.
How bad can he be? Scoring 10 goals in 31.
If he is played as a RW or backup striker, I'd be delighted to have him. His pace alone scares opponent and keeps them aware send occupied. He's even lightening with the ball at his feet.
Sounds like someone who it would be good to have as an option but probably wouldn't get in to our first team. Considering Saints paid £10m and he had a good season, he'd cost quite a lot for a rotation player.
yeah, United are shit. Everything about them is a joke. Bla bla bla...
What?
Mane had a slow start for Southampton for last season, but from Boxing day onwards, he scored 9 and assisted 2 in only 19 games. Mostly from left wing.
That's decent end product by almost anyone's standards. Maybe LvG wants Memphis back in the middle and Mane on the left.

One is English and plays for Crystal Palace, the other plays for Southampton and is not English.
Hope this helps
Reminded me of Welbeck
Welbeck with more goals doesn't sound like a bad addition!
Oh god no.
The Mane wordplay jokes are annoying as anything.
True... at times I thank the stars this is a forum and not death note
I wouldn't be surprised. I have no idea what his logic is but he did seem quite fond of the idea.
we've been made to look like a mickey-mouse club in the last few weeks. we've been bullied into selling ADM by a greedy agent, our player of the year doesnt want to play for us, we cannot get any of our main targets (bar Scheinderlin) and then somehow lose out on Pedro who have already agreed to join us subject to us agreeing a fee with Barca, and now we are raiding a mid-table club...
I know. Mane wish they'd stop.
Aye there's far to Mane of them
Yup. Just made to feel unwanted..
How were we exactly 'bullied into selling ADM'.
How do we look as a mickey mouse club cause DDG wants to play for Madrid.
We bought Memphis, Schneiderlin, Schweinsteiger, Darmian..
When on earth did I say we were a joke of a club?
If you completely make up the argument that you're arguing against of course you're going to make it look ridiculous.
We've just sold our record signing for a loss and are looking at replacing him not with proven world class but a punt.
I know we did a lot of good work earlier in the summer, I've said as much frequently, that doesn't change the fact we're already showing we're going to struggle to score goals this summer and the one player we're apparently interested in isn't going to solve that. If that doesn't worry people when, apparently, our aim is to win the title this season I don't really know what else to say.
Is it just me that thinks this could be a good deal? He's lightening quick and the more that I think about it the more excited I get.
OK he's not a top class proven player but he could be one day? His pace will terrify defenders more so than Pedro. He's skillful with a good goals record last year. Plus he can play a variety of positions.

We have needed a striker all window, Otamendi has been holding out for a move all summer, Pedro was needed by Barca to play in Supercup matches & he 'had' an agreement with us until we apparently pulled out at last minute & reports in Spain suggest Kovacic has been bought because Benitez doesnt fancy Illarramendi hardly bad planning by the clubs involved. The strategy is non-existent, it was the same excuse when Fergie retired, they blamed Moyes coming into the job late, but tell me this, what other multi-million pound corporation would allow the chief executive & the general manager to leave at the same time without having continuity plans in place, its unheard of, well it was. Our chasing of Fabregas in the same summer was an embarrasment, as was the fee paid for Fellaini & Mata respectively - I know the Caf has a Woody love thing going on but really. Pissed off we have missed out on Pedro.
Of course I have, I have been impressed a lot of times with him. Sure he's not the complete package yet but that type of pace scares teams. He has
people would have reacted the same after missing out on pedro, many people still didn't want him recently but now after his showings at bayern I bet they aren't saying that.
Not arguing over anything, said from the beginning I'm pro Mane, that sentence just made my head hurt.So we're literally arguing over my of grammar?
Sarcasm in the written word can be hard to detect. Lots of being fouled and giving the ball away interspersed with a few shit efforts on goal.
We wanted a player from Spain
Instead we got Mane
It's blown the RedCafe's Brain
They're all in so much pain
There's a rap for you mane
Some people are easily embarrassed. A manager can have second thoughts about a player and vise versa. However, the reality is most people just want us to sign that fecking player that we all know we need. That's all. Stop the fecking about. Stop the nonsense. If we're not in for Pedro? Don't drop his name into conversation. What's happened is exactly what LVG wouldn't have wanted. LVG needs to bring clarity to the situation and he can be a romantic all he likes, but the truth is we're a player or two short and we have no one to blame for the shite prices we've gotten for our players. We'd have been better off keeping Nani...
I'd be happy if he was Valencia replacement. If he can run fast in straight line with the ball he can't be any worse, has potential and can play multiple positions. Not a bad shout for a squad player I’d say.
Our problem is we wanted an instant improvement, not a squaddie.

Hopefully Chelsea can snap him out of our hands in a last minute bid.
We're not signing Mane. Why would we when we've got much better players already? God I hate transfer season
fair enough, it's my opinion that Mane would do a better job for us in the system that we play then Pedro would, that isn't to say that i think Pedro is a bad player, nothing could be further from the truth, I just think that Mane offers more ticked boxes for what we are actually looking for (Pace, creative, workrate, ability to score) he's younger too.I enjoy my passive aggressive anger, I'm told It gives me smouldering charm

I will admit that I reacted badly in my initial post, but i think that was mainly my surprise at what i saw as a massive over reaction in this thread, I think Mane would be a quality addition once he settles in.
