Mane is the real deal. He's prone to blunders and inconsistency still, but on a non top 5 world team I don't think you can ask for much more from a winger/forward. Perfect for EPL as well.

Good player, but I think he's a bit ill-disciplined still. He has had some truly shocking lapses in judgment resulting in sendings off.

He's 23 so I anticipate that will improve, assuming they actually retain him. If they don't, I hear Adam Johnson is looking for a team...

Okay, his lapses in judgment haven't been quite THAT shocking, at least compared to Adam Johnson.

I hope Adam Johnson dies a broken man in prison.

Carry on.

Just read up on it. You can't **** 15 year olds. It's a shame he ruined his life that way. Girls that age, aren't always so innocent. Shame.

lol ****, bestiality...come on mate...

6 years in prison; also, top comment is hilarious:

Six years behind the deal is much more lenient than the original sentence: a five-year contract extension with Sunderland.

Arsenal "must retain" under-fire manager Arsene Wenger past this season, according to shareholder Alisher Usmanov.

Wenger has another season on his contract that pays him £8 million a year, but Usmanov, who owns 30 percent of the club, has offered the 66-year-old his full support.

"Arsenal's results are stable. They are always among the leaders of the English Premier League. This is a good and large sports business project, and I am pleased with it," Usmanov told Rossiya24.

"The only thing is that today such situation occurred, like in any sport, there are ups and downs. The club must retain its major symbol and main asset -- manager Arsene Wenger."

lol they don't even care if the team wins the league or not

Fans need to stop going to games to make a difference and that won't happen.

Ter Stegen very close to joining ManCity according to Torygraph.

Looks like Hart will get benched. Guardiola wants keepers who can play with their feet. I still think Hart is too be a #2 keeper. Many clubs will be interested in him in the summer for sure.

I keep hearing about Gotze to Liverpool, too. Any legs to that in the German media? It's only the rags reporting it here.

Also on a sidenote, who's next for Villa now that Garde's been canned? Ideally they want someone they can rebuild with in the Championship.

Götze, Zielinski, Hector to Liverpool is done.

But more importantly Skrtel, Enrique and Lucas are gone

It's mainly a return back to Dortmund that has been reported in German media. Everybody talks about that. Liverpool not really being mentioned.

To answer your sidenote: Nigel Pearson. Moyes probably think he is too good for the Championship.

Dreading the match at Anfield tomorrow almost as much as I would Goons away. I have a bad feeling that this is where our title challenge probably ends. Classic nerves.

They ought to take Pearson - and they should have taken him instead of Garde.

I think they'll try for Moyes again but does he really want to go to the Championship?

Sorry to say I hope you are right.

I just hope the "good" Liverpool turn up tomorrow.
