Welcome to Wolves: Mario Lemina

[Alan]

It's almost like we signed a player with good DM attributes and stats to replace Ruben Neves.

Seems sus

 

[WsWolf]

I think we'll be pleasantly surprised with this one.

Indeed we are.

 

[Tredman]

 

[Jinky]

What a signing, by the way.

Seems like a top bloke, too.

 

[The Bear]

Jinky's starting on Wolves topics, wait till he brings the big guns out and digs up a post from the 'Things That Make You HAPPY' thread to highlight he doesn't always moan

I'm not saying you moan Jinks, but if they announced World Peace you'd probably have something to say about redundancies at BAE Systems

 

[Squeak]

That was the best performance I have seen from a Wolves midfielder since Moutinho in his prime. Absolutely fabulous.

 

[SSB]

Must be tough times playing at the moment for him with his Dad being ill.

 

[Wolvensam]

New deal as soon as possible please, Hobbs.

 

[The Dude]

Saints fans general consensus is he’s very talented but either a 2 out of 10 or 9 out of 10 in terms of performance and more of the former than the latter which is why he hasn’t been a success. We’ll see, hopefully he becomes a good signing for us

My in-laws are Southampton fans. They reckon his attitude is terrible and like you said, he's inconsistent.

Obviously it's not been our experience of him. In the year he's been with Wolves he's ranged from a 7/10 to a 10/10 and his attitude has been excellent.

I guess he's grown up a lot since his saints days.

Yeah it was reported at the time we signed him he'd grown up a lot, maybe became a dad which helped him? Whichever, he's been fabulous for us. Hoping he's got another couple of seasons in him at this level.

 

[North Shropshire Lad]

Clearly has matured and added physicality and consistency to his game. An unbelievable performer in almost every game in 2023.

A very odd career record though that's littered with regular moves up and down the pyramid across several different leagues and countries with 40-60 games seemingly the maximum number of times he turns out for every team (Lorient 49, Marseille 55, Juve 44, Southampton 52, loans at Galatasaray/Fulham 28/30, Nice 58, Wolves 36+).

Agent issues or financial reasons? I seem to remember Kanchelskis moving regularly with agent pressures for signing on fees being touted as the reason. Let's hope Mario's performance level for us continues and he bucks his previous trend.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

He's only 30, that's nothing these days with how players look after themselves. We didn't sign Moutinho until he was nearly 32 and we got five seasons out of him.

 

[Del Woppio]

Tbh he's absolutely astounded me, he's ten times the player I thought he'd be, and there aren't many squads he wouldn't improve. Geezer's been bloody phenomenal

I guess his longevity will depend on him not picking up any bad injuries at this stage of his career, his style is very combative and athletic but maybe he can adapt as he gets older.

I think moving to Wolverhampton and away from the “bright lights” has matured many players over recent years.

Never helped me much.........-

There are brighter lights than Wolverhampton?

Mario Lemina: Wolves’ Gabonese Midfield Enforcer

Wolverhampton Wanders remain one of the English Premier League sides that have continued to exceed expectations this season. From barely escaping relegation last season to sitting 11th in the table with 7 matches to go — 17 points above the drop — there’s no gainsaying that Gary O’Neil has done...
