    Oh as for where pedro would play if stick him right wing and have him actually closer to costa. As much as i love willian and think he gets unfair stick for no end product hes a cm and he cant cross that well. Willian can dribble past players pretty well but obviously finds it tough against lbs. I think he could be our hendo as he has great energy. Wont be as physical as hendo but far more technical and i think that would compliment matic. As for oscar and fab, rotate them round depending on the team we play. Oscar for big games too defend which jose loves and fab to smash smaller teams

    Interesting. Saints fans are full of praise for him (think it was @JWP's Goal Celebration ) that said bigger teams might be in for him.

    I like him but looking at their strategy this summer, they targeted big players - Ramos, Otamendi and Pedro.

    To go from that to Mane is a big drop off.

    Indeed it was, but I was saying that under the impression he would have a stonking season this year n then go next Summer.

    Not sure there's any truth in the United interest (or at least don't see it going through). He'll cost more than what Pedro would of n don't see them paying that much after one good season.

  8. I think Mane looks a good player but he seems a bit selfish to me. He gets the ball and has one thing in his mind. That's not always a bad thing but do it too much and it can be.

    I agree but think Ron is slowly coaching that out of him, he's still very raw in some senses though his improvement between when he first joined and the end of last year was immeasurable, and at the Vitesse game I noticed he was being very unselfish. Last year was a big step up in quality as well from the Austrian league.

    He has all the tools to be a top top player in my opinion. I just hope we some (more) of it.

    Mane is IMO southamptons best player i nthe forward line.

    Pelle i'm not really enthused by now and long is long... tadic faded

    Wanyama in midifeld, the new boy needs to prove himsefl i guess

    then forester is a big player and fonte, bertrand at the back.

    Southampton really need one or two to actually ****ing stay now :bandit:

    So Pedro is going to sit on Chelsea's bench

    And Man U are going to spend weeks talking about signing Mane and then do nothing about it or pay too much for him at the last minute?

    Summary of today's transfer wrangling.

    Now that would be funny :grin:

    On a serious note, Jose is doing some scrambling and pulling out all the stops now he has realised his squad is pretty poor.

    It's what good, confident young players do, they become great players if they learn when to do it.

    Agreed.

    It amuses me looking at Twitter responses - people there just have no idea about Mane. He could become a great player, he really could (not quite there yet admittedly) but your fans on there seem to think you're bargain basement shopping just because he isn't called "Pedro". I'd rather have Mane than Pedro. Signing a so called 'big name' like.....Di Maria.....isn't necessarily the way to go.

    Hopefully for £40m+ to Bayern Munich in July 2016 <whistle>

    But nah I reckon the clubs absolute minimum of £25m - Though I'd tell United 35 or **** off! We don't need the money n he's our most dangerous player going forward.


    Also a sell on clause of some description.

    I can see Utd putting in a £30m deadline day bid for Borini at this rate.
