Hey buddy.


5 Deep and I had a text exchange about Mane just the other day. I dont hate the move, but do hate the 30 mill price tag. He is good, but Im kinda puzzled by the move. I trust in Klopp fully, but when we have Studge, Origi, Ings, Firmino, Cou, Milner, Lallana, then Markovich back, do they really need more help up front? I watched about 6 or 7 Southamptons matches last year, and Mane was really hit or miss. I actually played DFS soccer on yahoo with Mane more than a few times, and he was really hit or miss. The stats they track that are relevant to him are successful passes, crosses, fouls won, corners won, goals, assists, etc. and he had a ton of very low scoring matches, even playing the full 90+. Honestly, his best match was against Pool last season as a late game sub. Im curious how he will slot into the squad, and where Klopp plans to play him at. He has talent, but to me, the price tag is too steep to justify the move. I would rather load up on areas of need on the back end and in the middle. Overall, time will tell how good or bad the move is, but for now I am very puzzled. In Klopp We Trust. YNWA.

I kind of feel the same. I think this is kind of a question mark signing. He puts in good work as I remember, but he was inconsistent as far as overall production.

I still think we get a big name this window, just not sure who.

Also, I saw we agreed to ~2.5M for Canos, but worked in a buy-back clause.
