He’s got love from his entire community and country, what does he care about a bunch of pot bellied Bavarians as long as they sign the cheques?
Note to self - Stay out of this thread. It’s too depressing

I actually have a lot of respect for a player who whores himself to the highest bidder to make money for his home village.

Agreed. If losing him is the cost of him being better positioned to help his people, then it’s a price I’m more than willing to pay (emotionally at least).

I don’t know if he has the brain or stomach for it but he has my support.
I’m not going to lie. My heart sank a bit just now seeing this pic.

I have seen so many of my icons leave and I have endured. But this one is like someone squeezing my heart. I don’t know (even now) what it was exactly that made Sadio so dear to me. Thanks for the memories (and the heartache), You will definitely never walk alone.

He’s a smart guy. I wouldn’t rule it out.
This shirt is absolute horse-shite. Not that he’ll care, mind…

Ummm I’m a closet Bayern and Inter fan (mostly because I used to really look up to Lothar Matthaeus) so as much as it hurts to see Sadio go, I’m comforted by the fact that he’s with one of my “other” teams

I said to myself after Fernando left, I will never give my affection to another footballer, but Sadio has really made my heart sad. I was secretly hoping that the deal would not go through and Sadio would change his mind. Seeing him in that Bayern shirt, just cracked my heart abit at a sense of loss.
All I can wish, I really hope he does really well at Bayern except against us. I hope he is happy. I understand why he has gone there and I can’t begrudge him in any way whatsover. He is giving something back to his people, village and making one part of the world a better place and he is giving hope to the next generations of Sadio Manes. He is up there with the saints.
I can’t help feeling really sad and lost. I will miss his beaming smile and Sadio trying to do a Kung Fu like kick following Firmino. It is an end of an era. It feels like when Keegan left Liverpool for Hamburg too.

Sadio gave me that calm stable feeling that even if things look bleak in the pitch he’ll help sort it out somehow. I’m sure he transmitted calmness through the team with his approach and inner confidence. He was an absolute leader for us in the pitch, didn’t need the armband or shouting (captain of Senegal after all). We’re not just losing an outstanding player, a Liverpool legend, we are also losing his calming, friendly, assuring presence.

I’m sad he’s gone, one of the best players we’ve had at the club.
Having said that he did have extended periods of poor form - then he’d suddenly break it with a sustained period of sensational performances.

Now I’ve seen him in a Bayern shirt I don’t think I can come back to this thread again.

Years ago a good friend of mine had his heart crushed when he found out his girlfriend had eloped with their next door neighbor. He was really down on himself for a couple of months until we bumped into them together downtown. The fella was wearing crocs, those god awful plastic shoes. He all of a sudden realized she was a broken woman with terrible taste and never looked back.

I am not suggest he isn’t a saint (I’m
Not taking the piss with this by the way, what the guy does to his home village is saintly) but I honestly believe that he could have stayed here for another year and gone to Real or Barca or PSG if he wished, filled his boots with a signing on fee instead of a transfer fee and 4-500k per week.
I just feel Bayern is a backwards move for his football.

A misunderstood shoe. A classic.
