Mario Lemina

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

What a fantastic player, leader and person.

Genuinely can’t think of many players, at clubs anywhere, that have formed bonds and made the overall impact that he has in such a short space of time.

He’s only played 47 games for us!

 

[Noweimannnocry]

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

Still life in the old dog yet then ?

 

[SA Wolf]

He was immense and dragged the team forwards, yesterday. In the first half, he was the one player who excelled. In the second, he was everywhere and covered every blade of grass. A true 'warrior; and someone that every young player could learn from. His attitude is exemplary.

 

[wolves85]

player of the season in my eyes, but then it is hard to find a player in our team at the moment that isnt worthy of an award, the pack are back and wearing gold and black

 

[CelebrityWolf]

Probably been mentioned already on here but I cannot fathom why he is not our captain.

 

[djmikeydickens]

Just because you don't wear the arm band doesn't mean you can't be the leader on the pitch. Player of the season.

 

[DDPPwolf313]

I went up with a villa fan yesterday (I know I know) and he couldn't believe how good he was, he joked he was our best left winger, our best forward and our best central midfielder all in the same game. The blokes a machine and all that with a smile on his face.

 

[Poztin]

Better all round midfielder than Neves!

Dare I say it both him and Gomes are. Gomes with the highest ceiling of them all.

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

Probably been mentioned already on here but I cannot fathom why he is not our captain.

If Kilman is still here next season and is STILL captain then it will be a travesty. Lemina would make an outstanding captain as he's an outstanding player with all the requirements a captain needs.

 

[North West Wanderer]

Dare I say it both him and Gomes are. Gomes with the highest ceiling of them all.

different sorts of players so unfair to compare.
Neves is not far off world class at his deep lying game.
Gomes and Lemina are more about energy and getting up and down the pitch.

I wouldn’t say one is better than the other, it’s fair to say these players suit of style better right now.
it’s possible to enjoy both.

Neves alongside the pair is a top 4 midfield. Bring him home for Gary.

 

[Woolywolf]

I know this is a bit of a statement but have you ever seen a more complete player at the wolves. He could genuinely play every position on the pitch

 

[lets all have a disco]

They all laughed at me when I suggested lemina in the forward, false 9 role.....way back when Cunha got injured......

In the premier league the way teams mess about with it at the back anybody who presses and has the energy he does will inevitably cause loads of problems......it may not work if Coventry clear there lines and got long, like most championship clubs do....

 

[fleck1]

Is he the best number 9 (option) we currently have. Big, strong and powerful, holds the ball up well, can run past a man and pick a pass.

 

[StaffordWolf]

At this moment in his career he just looks absolutely unstoppable. I've not watched as much of the other teams this season as I usually would, but from what I have watched he's easily in the top 10 midfielders in the league.

 

[Nige100]

Nothing against Max but should be our captain. Simples.

 

[Clifton Wolf]

Please please please can we get this man a new contract. He is an absolute colossus, his work rate and strength is frightening and on top of all that he oozes class in every area of the play / pitch.

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Immense yesterday

 

[Warrington_Wolf]

Astonishing how good he is and what a difference he’s made to the team.

His ability, workrate and versatility combined sets him apart from any midfielder I’ve seen at Wolves (I’m 31).

Hopefully the fact his brother has joined indicates he will be here for a while. I think how settled he appears and the fact he is probably in the second half of his career will work in our favour if any interest comes over the summer.

 

[WickedWolfie]

Calling a mod "an old dog" is a very swift path to a ban lol....

 

[SeaWolf]

Just seen this, though it's a month old. Nice interview with the Guardian.
Apologise if it's already been posted elsewhere.

Wolves’ Mario Lemina: ‘I need to carry my dad’s name until I cannot walk any more’ Wolves’ Mario Lemina: ‘I need to carry my dad’s name until I cannot walk any more’

 

[Mark Rankines Lovechild]

I wonder if we may see his younger brother before the end of the season - considering all of the injuries we have around us?

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

He ain't heavy, he's my brother.

 

[WW1963]

Just because you don't wear the arm band doesn't mean you can't be the leader on the pitch. Player of the season.

I've seen that throughout all walks of life.

Not as swift as the one I was going to send!!!

 

[Miniwolf]

Very possible and I'm sure watching his big brother give everything will have an impact on him going forward to give nothing less.

 

[Wagstaffe Was Magic]

What a truely unbelievable player Mario is !!!!

 

[Timberrrr]

Probably already been said that he was immense yesterday and for 9 million an absolute steal but gomes is gonna be one hell of a player for us.playing against those two must be a nightmare

 

[Monketron]

Saw a lot on the Fulham forum lamenting not going for him, especially at £9m. Wolves really lucked out here.

In general, this wolves team seem like they would be a pain to deal with. So much running. Solid defending set pieces. Defend the 18 very stoutly. Hit you on the break so you're never comfortable....the tactical tweaks from Gaz so you're not going to have anything work too well for too long.....goals across the team...don't know when they're beaten...

Love to cheer on a team like that.

 

[theweave]

Doesn't need to be. You don't need to be captain to be a leader

 

[Lawndog]

I really like him as a player but now that Lopetegui has him playing in this awful defensive position his
form has dropped away badly. When we first signed him he was playing a higher line and making runs forward
into the box. Now none of this. Another example of how we have become negative and safety first in our approach and not
for the better. Please play him in his proper position, Lopetegui and not this messy looking sweeper style role where Neves is
also too deep and has us playing with 4 centre backs for large periods.

Well 'called' JOS!!!!

 

[AndyY]

If Kilman is still here next season and is STILL captain then it will be a travesty. Lemina would make an outstanding captain as he's an outstanding player with all the requirements a captain needs.

A.ways difficult to take the captaincy off a player who is still in the squad; we have been here before!
Doesn’t stop Lemina being a leader on the pitch and part of the “senior leadership team”.

 

[Rowzed]

It would be a colossal mistake to make him Captain over Max
He doesn’t need it, Max certainly doesn’t need it, ( might as well ship him out ), the dressing room doesn’t need it judging by their individual commitment ( it’s easy to hide behind a vocal captain ), and Gaz doesn’t appear to need it

“ tay bost - dow fix it”

Botham over Brearley, or **** about and find out as they say these days on X

 

[Oldskooldayz]

Sometimes a player just fits with a club, mario has been around a bit but never really settled even though obviously very talented. He is made for wolves, possibly our best signing since promotion he would genuinely run through walls for the old gold and black.

Shoe in for POTS and well on the way to legendary status

The same thing was said about Derek Dougan, he had other clubs before Wolves, but Wolverhampton became his home.

Bit before my time but my old man said the same. The doog was his hero

 

[Shergar]

We waited for years to find our Paul Ince type midfielder and then 3 (Ince himself, Rae and Cameron) all arrived at once.
Now we have those 3 rolled into 1, Lemina immense.

 

[SWest Wolf]

Love Lemina. Probably my favourite player at the club right now. Irreplaceable.
