Sadio Mane rumours really gathering pace.

The guy is clearly talented but he is just so rash and inconsistent. Let's just hope that is down to his inexperience if he is signing.

There is no disputing is ability. He is great in front of goal, an excellent dribbler, presses relentlessly, and links up play well. He need to do that week in week out though, and stop getting sent off with silly tackles.

It takes some doing to score a hattrick in any premier league game, let alone in less than 3 minutes against Man City. I still don't think Mane is the best option, or worth the quoted £30m, but if he signs then I'll support him all the same.

Wasn't mane sent off 3 times but had 2 rescinded? Can't remember the challenges but could have just been unfortunate, obviously shouldn't be putting himself in those situations though.

Honestly don't believe that Mane is a good player, he is an average winger who has the odd moment, very much like a Mark Walters type. Has a shocking reputation and had a lot of run ins with the manager at Saints as he has a total lack of discipline and respect. If he turns up at Anfield, it will end badly for us and I don't think that it is worth risking that kind of money on someone who is so flaky.

We really lack pace I know we Ibe but at this team mane better and he's got goals in him and the market is just stupid with the price of players so if we can get him for 25 mil I would not be mad.

We need one world class player who does it week in week out, Very much what Sanchez does at Arsenal and that is certainly not Mane. I hope we keep the money.

The question you have to ask yourself is if he was to join would he improve the current squad? and the answer is yes, real pace and power from a wide position, something we are currently lacking.

Is he klopps first choice? only he can answer that, but the pursuit of Gotze would suggest Mane isn't but he is an option we are monitoring.

Emre Mor was another option but he has been snapped up by Dortmund.

People have to realised that without Champs League or even european football we are not the draw we once were. We also haven't won a trophy since the carling cup in kennys time which again is something a player would look at.

We all want to be back up at the top, but this process doesn't happen over night. If klopp improves the squad year on year then we will get there. But he can only sign those willing to come, this isn't FIFA a player won't just come if your offer is accepted.

His red cards are far from bad luck! He has been sent off 6 times in his short (approx 180 games) career. That's an average of once roughly every 30 games.

He's only 24. If he carries on like that he'll retire with the worst disciplinary record in the recent history of European football.

He needs to calm down. But most importantly, he needs to stand up and demand the ball when he is having a bad spell. We can't afford to have a player hiding away for half the season, and only making himself available when he is feeling confident and is having a purple patch.

Game of thrones you say Sanchez does it week in week out, not a chance he is very inconsistent and as chucked his toys time and time again last season. Mane is a bit inconsistent but as massive potential, sometimes you have to accept a bit of inconsistency with a winger.

{Ed001's Note - when did Sanchez chuck his toys out of his pram? Utter lie. Mane on the other hand did so and has done so on a regular basis, so much so that he has been left out of the squad on more than one occasion due to his antics. Quality player, but his attitude stinks and we should steer well clear.}

Ed1 I was on about every time he gets substituted, he always throws a strop mate, soz maybe should of put it a different way, agreed that Mane has a bit of attitude as well but I can't accept that Sanchez is consistent and his passing is poor, reminded me of Suarez passing ability. Mane as the potential to be a very very good player.

{Ed001's Note - and if a player is fit and coming off, the time to worry is not when they are upset. The time to worry is when they come off beaming and glad to be taken off, unless you are hammering the opposition and you are taking them off to receive an ovation. Players should be upset that they are coming off. I would be, as it would suggest the manager doesn't feel I offer as much to the team for the rest of the game as the player replacing me. I would like to think I am better than the others, and I would want my team mates to think the same.}

Fair enough ed1 and the point is mate you normally are pretty spot with your views, which I respect and you read a game very well as sometimes I get too emotional watching Liverpool lol.

{Ed001's Note - I get emotional watching it. Football is the one time I really swear these days. It doesn't matter who is playing I get caught up in it. It is just that I can also look at it objectively at the same time. Yes, some of us men can multitask!}
