Mane has something that is quite rare in the premier league and that is his unpredictability. Yes, that can work both for and against you but its an attribute that we'd find very difficult to replace now that we've got it.
Mane will never be the most technically gifted player in the world but there is a certain element of uniqueness about him that we shouldn't undervalue.
Yeah. I'm usually quite rational and pragmatic about this kinda stuff but I thought (hoped) we'd seen the last of the summer parasite activity by now. And, yes, I know we've done the same to the likes of Celtic.
I've calmed down (ish) now
And 'you know who' have him on their radar too apparently.... http://www.tribalfootball.com/articles/southampton-spurs-target-werder-bremen-fullback-jannik-vestergaard-4091708
Nah... I think this is the first season where there's an acknowledgment that they have a relatively decent team and manager and thus are genuine title contenders. Which is good from a nutjob perspective as it was getting borderline tedious watching them bump along the bottom of the Football League. Don't get me wrong, it would still be amusing if they don't get promoted.
And so it begins....
