Then you have to watch a few more interviews and read a few more articles. He actually surprised me that he seems quite determined to play for Saints next season. OK, at 24 he could get his head severely turned, but that's the case with any and every player.

And the sulking mercenary bit you might be mistaking for quiet shyness. My eldest brother encountered him recently in a supermarket, and he said he couldn't have been more polite, quiet and well mannered than if he was paid to do so. I know that means nothing in itself, but it helps to build the picture. Don't runaway with the idea that he's out the Saints exit door come this August. Besides, we'd get plenty of money for him with just a year to run.

Absolutely what I've heard too, for what it's worth. Vic is actually (a bit thick) and a lot more prone to arrogance. By all accounts Mané is a very polite, level headed young man who really appreciates the opportunity to play for Saints.

Of course that could easily come back and bite me on the arse, but that's what I heard from people in the club.

You'll be hard-pressed to find a Saints player with more time for our younger fans. Seriously, Sadio has stayed until it's got dark signing stuff for kids before and on many occasions lowered his window to give them a little wave and shout goodbye and have one last chat as he drives off. He's always posing for photos, talking to the kids and picking them up or giving them a hug with the little ones.

What I've heard mirrors what you've said, he's a nice enough chap and is pretty grounded but make no bones about it, he's driven and wants to get to the very top. That's not to say he isn't happy here and he doesn't appreciate what he's got.

I have no problem with that in all honesty. It's actually an admirable trait. It just needs to be tempered and done sensibly.

What I have been told is the only time he sulks is if things aren't going well on the pitch. The guy is crazy self-critical. He would even blame himself for not scoring 4 even though he has a hattrick. He will also blame himself when the team is playing ****.

Sorry mate, my fault.

I like this board tbh, good set of knowledgeable lads, but I'll leave you in peace now <laugh>
 
I bloody love Sadio Mane. He is absolutely quality. Whatever happens, he has done the club proud (so far), and he is one that I will always look upon with fondness (even if he does end up leaving).
One of my favourite games of recent seasons was Arsenal away in the cup (when Clyne scored a blinder) - I think Mane was just settling in, and you could see he was going to be a special player. He just waltzed past Arsenal at times that night.

Debut game, I think. Loved the way he saw Rosický coming and jumped, with both feet just inside the penalty area line, before getting clattered. Cue Rosický grimacing up to the sky, knowing full well he'd been done like a kipper. ;)
 
It makes interesting reading when two non Saints fans need to use this site to start arguing. That has got to be a first...... All we need now is trickster arguing with an Arsenal fan to make a set..........<laugh>

Maybe it's because this is the Wembley of football forums and everyone aspires to get here. :p
