Complete non points

Fact - all 3 players were ready to come to us but Levycunt bottled it as usual. What rotation?

Front 3 of Mane, Son and Kane - LMFAO

Mane and Son both play on the left. You want to play 1 of them out of position?

So where you playing Mane in this lineup?

Wanyama Dembele
Eriksen Alli Son
Kane

(And before you drop Dele, he got 22 goals, 13 assists in 2016)
(And before you drop Eriksen, he got 12 goals, 24 assists in 2016)
(And before you drop Son, he got 21 goals, 9 assists in 2016)

Mane went to Pool in 16/17 - same window we got Sissoko for 30 million. Have a day off, mate

Got it....

So you wanted to sign Mane as a backup for Dembele to sit on our bench instead of Sissoko?


Had we signed Mane in 2016, he would have wanted to start as a left sided forward. We had just signed Son for this exact position. Mane wasn't going to come and sit on the bench when he could walk straight into the Liverpool team.

Sissoko was a ridiculous buy . Geordies thought he was utter crap and couldn't believe Dell boy Ashley had fucked Oxbridge Levy .

Instead of Dele, Eriksen, Son and Kane starting all 38 games each, Make them play 30 each and Mane gets 32 that way. Done.

Are you expecting 11 players to be playing all 38 PL games, all cup games, and all european games every season? That is bloody mental. That sort of thinking is exactly how we ended up with the Kane situation this season where we have 1 striker who has turned shite and left with no other options other than having to play him every game and he serves up . And the worse thing is its all that overplaying every season that has left him with a slow rubbish physique that is an embarassment for a premier league player.

Not disagreeing (or agreeing), just wondering how? What was the wage difference? And was there an amount we could’ve offered which we’ve heard Liverpool would just not match or go above?

I think 25k difference in the end

Laughable really - typical Levycunt penny-pinching

Don’t see why buying mane wasn’t a no brainier especially when we then buy lots of attacking wide players who are generally crap. It’s not as if Son has not played on the right which he has done often. His got a good left foot. You can never have enough quality players. Certainly I would have paid !£30m for mane than that non footballer sissoko. In fact mane is better at tracking back and pressing than sissoko ever was.
As I’ve said before we also missed out on grelish and gini who we could have both got for £25M each. Just imagine if we had gini, jack and mane in our squad for 2019 CL final.
 
To add that lot would have cost us just £80M! Absolute joke we didn’t buy any one one of them when we had the chance. Add in Maddison and tielamans who is prbly better than any of our CMs and scores goals.
 
Mane and Wijnaldum was never happening as our highest earner at the time (Kane) was on £80k, they wanted significantly more and we weren't in a position financially at that stage to pay it.

What's more the wages would have gone out of control, once you raise the wage budget then everyone wants a pay rise, bad timing I guess.
 
Lo Celso has the potential to become a top-notch player - which he showed when he played at Betis and, more recently for Argentina. But his physique and style do not seem to fit the EPL, unfortunately.
I'd sell both him and Ndombele (not for cheap though) and replace them with CM who fits into Conte's new formation.
I'd go all out for Frenkie de Jong and Gravenberch....but have a feeling that "richer" clubs than Spurs would do the same (Bayern, Man Utd, Man City, PSG are all rumoured to be after de Jong...)
