Second time in the last 12 months that Mane has been dropped for turning up late to a team meeting.
I think it is correct to make an example of him but for goodness sake. Buy the lad an alarm clock. If somebody comes in with 25 million then would think it would be sensible to cash in now.
The chatter seems to suggest it is his way of agitating for a move in the transfer window.
It does seem that way after listening to Koeman. Would be really nice as a Saints fan to just have a period of 12-18 months where players actually want to stay at the club.
"I feel let down by some players, yes of course - because we had a different line-up for the game," said Koeman.
"I don't understand it. I don't understand a player that comes in late to the last meeting. You will have to ask him why. I don't know. I didn't ask - otherwise then you get into details and it is already too late."
"My message to Sadio two days ago in training was that I didn't think he was really focused and concentrated," Koeman added.
"Yes I feel let down by him, but it's felt much more by his team-mates because we are a club where we like to treat everybody very respectfully and you have responsibilities as a player, to the fans, to your team-mates, to your board, to the technical staff.
