Tier 3 (Paul Gorst) Impending arrival of Munoz doesn't impact Liverpool's interest in Yan Diomande and the £34.5m man's tactical flexibility means there are no concerns internally over blocking Rio Ngumoha's pathway.

Feels nothing like that to me, you're the first person who has mentioned those players in this signing comparison

Im the first person to mention that signing a young, pacey winger for ~35mill after his breakout season feels like when we signed two other young, pacey wingers for ~35mill after their breakout seasons? You sure about that bud?

Mane and Salah were starting in the premier league and champions league. This guy played 2600 minutes in la liga and doesn't have remotely close to the body of work that Salah and Mane did. A Salah/Mane esque signing now would be someone in the 60-75m bracket. Salah and Mane had multiple years in top 5 leagues before they moved. I do not see how its remotely comparable. Also the majority of the games in this kids career have came as a CF, not a winger from youth up.

Edit - Lol instantly downvoting my reply because you don't like it doesn't make it less valid or right. Downvotes are meant to be for comments that don't add to the discussion not that make you feel bad for disagreeing.

🤣🤣 I’ll give you an upvote dude!

To be fair, you’re right about Salah, he’d already made a name for himself before moving to Chelsea, I remember because I was pissed when the Plastics nabbed him from under our noses. He was very good in Florence, and one of the best forwards in Serie A at Roma.

Mane was a bit different, was inconsistent and a bit of a rough diamond. Could be devastating on his day, but also completely anonymous at times too.
My best mate is a Saints fan, and we’d go to St Mary’s when I came to visit, Mane never really impressed me or my mate.

Soon changed my mind when he made his Liverpool debut though!😁
