Sadio Mane (LW) to Bayern

Bayern totally dominate the German market, which is huge.
In Berlin shops you’re more likely to see Bayern shirts than those of the Berlin clubs.
Their merchandise is everywhere.

He could look after my kids for a weekend

While Bayern has been building its commercial base for two decades, we made our serious foray after FSG takeover. Our results on the pitch and the squad quality in the early FSG years didn’t help either.

A team regularly winning its league and has the history Bayern does will simply dominate commercial deals. Catching up with them takes time.

He’s a good guy, no doubt. But all that guff about special news after the final has be a bit miffed, tbh.

There is challenges and then there are mountains.

I’m just saying he might want a change and so Bayern may not have to offer him what he wants here. Whatever he gets is probably still more than he is getting now.

Frankfurt airport, there was a Bayern store. not a Bundesliga store, but a Bayern store. massive. In Kitchener, Ontario there is the largest Oktoberfest in the world outside of Germany. It’s hosted by the Schwaben Club which is a collection of halls close to downtown. The Club also hosts the Bayern supporters club who are a great bunch of lads. My wife’s family is from Kitchener and is German descent. when we were doing setup for her dad’s service a few years ago, we rented one of the halls. I stumbled upon the BSC and watched a bit of a Schalke game with them and we chatted for a bit. Upon hearing I why I was there and a Liverpool supporter, they sent over a keg of the beer they bring in from Germany for us to have during the reception! Very nice group of people.

Fyi

it might be simply because the pie is cut up into a lot more pieces for us…no doubt the EPL pie is bigger than the bundesliga one, but so is the competition for sales

Yep he is entitled to do as he pleases, if thats a new challenge in a new city where he can come out of the Salah shaped shadow and get a motsa payrise good luck to him.

He owes us nothing and hasnt been disrespectful in how he has gone about it ie no fake back injuries

Good luck welcome back anytime leaves the club a legend.

Anyone think Jonathan David would be a good Mane replacement.

Report I read is 10-15% of any profit over the £34m we paid them for him.

One of a group of players in with a good shout. Young, fast, fairly versatile, scores goals, doing well - not so well that his price would be stratospheric, but well enough to command attention. If our analytics show he is poised to break though further, why not?

I like the look of him. Not at Sadio level now, vast majority aren’t, but younger with more upside to come.
