Mario Lemina

[SingYourHeartsOut]

As to JL’s comments about the players not being good enough…….Christ, what a thing to say. Basically stupid.
Really bad management……..almost immature.
It must have stung the players.

I think JL caused a lot of resentment at Wolves and those feelings would have been made clear to Jeff. I would bet there was a big sigh of relief when he left.

Sorry…..my emotions got the better of me for a moment. This is supposed to be about Mario.

The interview was a great read except where it mentions Mario’s age……hopefully he can continue to play at this level for several more years. Fantastic to see that he’s watching out for the younger players and not just his brother. A great role model.

Never said it, said we needed a stronger squad.

Also was part of getting Lemina and especially Cunha in, so you should be thanking him for that.

Not how his players saw it, obviously.

Agreed.

JLo presided over possibly our best window yet. Persuaded the likes of Lemina, Sarabia, Cunha, and Dawson to join a club rooted to the bottom of the league.

Not sure GON, for all his gifts, could have done the same, and I’m a big GON fan

 

[QB Wolf]

Agreed.

Gomes too - totally agree BTW

 

[QB Wolf]

Exactly, it almost doesn’t matter what he said, the interpretation has been repeated so many times now, it’s passed off as fact.

 

[WW1963]

Lopetegui bought brilliant players and Gary O'Neil got by far the best out of them.

It's a both, not an either/or. I guess that we're so used to being divided and conquered in every way possible that we're programed to pick a side in anything and everything.

 

[goldfish]

Lemina is fast approaching my favourite (though not necessarily best) Wolves XI.

Absolutely. Lopetegui did a great job, O'Neil has done an even better one so far. Slagging off anyone who has chosen to leave the club seems to be the default though.

Most of those had been in our sights for some time. Hobbs flew out to get Gomes. JL name may have helped of course but credit to our recruitment strategy.

He was a rare bright spark today I thought. Left it all out there…

 

[Willywolf]

wasn’t great first half, but showed so much drive and determination second half. Would’ve been better as a 3 yesterday with Doyle and Gomes to match Brentford up imo.

 

[mroli74]

Is that him on 9 yellows for the season - when he gets his next one (if before 32 games) - he'll have a 2 match suspension?

Think we're agreed it's 8 as one was followed by another and so they don't count for the yellow total! Hard to think he won't get that 2 game ban sometime though, hopefully can stay below 15!

 

[arctic rime]

When's the cut off date ?

 

[JohnB]

Would love to see some analysis about the yellow cards he has vs tackles vs other midfielders to see if any ref unconscious bias. Might be nothing just curious.

Have to say he is a monster for us and as much of the reason for our mid-table position as Neto, Cunha and Hwang.

 

[WolfLing]

When's the cut off date ?

32 games, so another 8.

Possible to make it, but likely that we miss him for a couple of games.

 

[BillyBoots]

When's the cut off date ?

Who told you about my vasectomy

 

[Kingswood Wolf]

Heading to Wolves Hero status pretty steadily, if he plays like this for a while and we keep him for a few more years, he'll be heading to Wolves Legend status. If he was 24, he'd be off for 75 million, happily, he isn't and we get to keep him which is just delightful. And well done GON for drawing this form out of him. And well done to whoever scouted him too.

 

[Darvo]

He was an absolute colossus today.

 

[WolfLing]

He was an absolute colossus today.

What a player he is.

 

[JamesWolves]

Looking forward to seeing how much pitch he covered today

 

[JOSWolf]

Amazing player. He seems to love it in a more attacking role as well. He may have to play the more attacking role for a while now which I think will work well with Gomes and Doyle behind him and maybe him playing with Sarabia, Fraser and RAN bombing forwards. That is the best way to go, attacking wise, in my opinion, until Cunha is back and then Hwang and Neto.

For what we paid for him he is an outstanding signing. If we could get a few signings like him this summer it would be amazing.

 

[MrwulfAndrew]

He was everywhere today again. Class!

 

[Starsky]

The heartbeat of the club.

 

[Erick1011]

The heartbeat of the club.

Insane considering he was released from one of his previous clubs due to heart issues.

His box to box style was more than evident today. He covered every blade of grass.

 

[BlahBlah]

What did we pay for him, less than 10 mill ? This is his best scoring return

It feels like he's settled here despite the bright start at Juventus he seemed to become a bit of a journey man throughout his career.

I think he's got the bond with the fans and the club here which he maybe didn't get at other clubs, only criticism today and very slight was him not leaving the chance at the end go sarabia who was much better angled to take the shot.

Can't fault him at all throughout his wolves career though.

 

[Tring Wolf]

Magnificent again today. Player of the Season so far…and by a fair distance.

 

[JadeWolf]

Agree but I’d say Cunha and amazingly Semedo aren’t massively far behind.

 

[Wolf in Kenilworth]

He’s my favourite player. So, so good.

What a signing.

 

[MattWolf]

I feel like Mario epitomises what this club is all about. He's rapidly becoming my favourite player of our premier League era and I loved neves.

He looks like he's genuinely loving it here and it's quite clear his attitude is infectious. I can't help but smile when I see the photos of him pop up on social media.

Sometimes a club and a player are the perfect fit and I feel like this is the case with Mario.

What a player and what a guy.

 

[SuperGran]

 

[Lobo de Ouro]

New contract and should be captain imo.

Good shout on the captaincy... would take to role brilliantly I feel.

Also think both Cunha and Gomes will make great captains in a couple of years time.

 

[Evthewolf]

Simply a beast of a player. He’s here, he’s there, he’s……..You know the rest.

 

[Wellington Wolf]

He was astounding today. A collosus. When he went to the south bank when the team needed the fans they responded and we scored a few mins later.

A heartbeat in our side. Gomes is lucky to have him as his mentor

Have no clue how he has never cemented a place at a massive club.

 

[JOSWolf]

Less than 10 million. Two or three signings like him this summer would be decent!

 

[SheldonWolf]

Better all round midfielder than Neves!

 

[Planty]

Having him so high up the pitch along with RAN seemed to work really well cause they can both play and it turbo charged the press.

He's been unreal this season, POTS incoming if he keeps it up

 

[Netherton Wolf]

Have to say I'm abit in love with a guy who's younger than all my kids , he epitomises everything I love about this club, I'm loving this bunch of guys as much as I did in Nunos tenure x

 

[Royal wolf]

100% my POTS
