if we sign henrikh mkhitaryan from dortmund which i hope we do, my question just for curiosity and a bit of fun who do you think will have the better deal us or liverpoo with sadio mane.

Mkhitaryan is the far better player. Providing he settles then we have done better.

A lot will depend on what sort of team Mourinho builds and whether it can settle, not just whether Mkhitaryan can.
Klopp has almost a year on Mourinho to mould his team. A few good purchases and they could be a serious threat to the title. Mane also has PL experience to boot, so in theory he should settle quicker.

thats what i'm hoping he settles quite quick.

RedDub,
I don't even think the biggest Liverpool fans think they will be a serious threat for the title. Klopp is not as good as a lot of you believe.

Its hard to tell atm. Klopp has been at Liverpool for 6 months and is fully aware of the abilities of the players at his disposal, he know how he wants his team to play and what is needed to make that happen. Mane is prem proven and settled in England, he should be able to hit the ground running and will have been bought to play a certain way.
All of that is in his favour.
Mkhitaryan on the other hand isn't prem proven and is walking into a team that has a manager who hasn't even taken a training session. Although IMO he is the more talented.
We won't know who was the better signing for several months yet at least.

"Serious threat" is probably a stretch I will admit, but I still think the rest of my point stands. Much will depend on the team Mourinho creates, in comparison to a more settled team adding a player with PL experience.
