    Mané leaves - Keita downs tools…


    Nothing whatsoever to do with Klopp’s miss understood, media twisted words on the AFCON.

    Let nobody make that link

    Believe I saw an article, somewhere, stating that FSG are prepared to make a big signing very soon. As long as the player is the right fit for the club.
    Don't think I was dreaming, honest!
    There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief

    To be fair on the Keita thing. Hes never picked his tools up to begin with.

    Get a top No6 in with the right type of passing who's an actual midfielder and has good astute reading of the game and positioning and pressing and counter pressing and athleticism and another up and coming No6 who can operate at a No8 at LCM or RCM with the same skills sets, you know, what we should have done in the summer of 2018 and 2020 instead of what we did do

    Been linked with Kamaldeen Sulemana, the Ghanaian winger who plays at Rennes.

    He usually plays on the left, which makes the link pretty curious (what with Diaz being used out there) but the (very limited) footage I have seen of him over the last couple of months shows a lad who is willing to take a man on and likes to dribble - I never like direct player comparisons but think of a Neymar-lite in terms of style on the ball.

    He is 20 I think, so in the event he did come here and was a success it'd be good future-proofing. Firmino and Salah are our two "older" attackers but everyone else has got a lot of time left.

    Would probably cost around £30m or so.

    To add -

    "Sulemana is very versatile and can play on either wing. He has even been deployed as the central forward on the rare occasion. The 20-year-old is right-footed and prefers cutting in off the left but he can also play as a traditional winger on the right."

    Isn't the most prolific of goalscorers - if the links are genuine, you'd suspect there are some underlying metrics that we feel we can work with.

    Looks very Mane'esque.

    They've just forked out nearly 90m on a striker who so far looks like a dud. They need 80m for the stadium work so I doubt we're going to see any more signings any time soon.

    He did, but got injured in the process
