EkonOkereke Posted 6 June, 2018 Share Posted 6 June, 2018 Lemina is a very very good player. Will be the next to leave. Love and light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusic Posted 6 June, 2018 Share Posted 6 June, 2018 Good player who has had his settle in year that many need when moving to England. Selling at this stage, having had the adaptation and with four years on his contract would be utterly stupid unless the offer is absolutely huge. Pretty much all our best team performances last year were when he was bossing it in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjii Posted 6 June, 2018 Share Posted 6 June, 2018 Would be gutted if we sold him this summer. Although Ralph's interviews recently suggest we will sell anyone who shows the slightest inclination to leave so I wouldn't be too surprised if we did.

patred44 Posted 6 June, 2018 Share Posted 6 June, 2018 looks like he is on his way to Napoli.. The 24-year-old moved to the Saints last summer, but was promised a very different project to what the club ended up experiencing: a full-on relegation battle. Looks like he doesn't expect any difference this coming season. http://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2018/exclusive-napoli-in-talks-for-southampton-midfielder-mario-lemina/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRM Posted 7 June, 2018 Share Posted 7 June, 2018 You'd expect us to get a good price if he was sold to Man City, or even Napoli if they've got cash to spend, I think he has potential to be a lynchpin of the side but he did have some stinkers last season , especially the semi final where he was a disgrace. Someone seems to be putting his name out there so perhaps his agent is looking to push for a move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Saint Posted 7 June, 2018 Share Posted 7 June, 2018 If he were to go based on last season certainly wouldn’t hold it against him. If you look at the clap trap Reed spouted to us all when MoPe was appointed about the fast pressing exciting football to come, if he was sold the same lies then it’s no surprise. As for the show pony comments, Boufal has that title sewn up. On early showing last season he certainly was a player who put quickly put a smile on my face with his “that’s my ball and you’re not having it” attitude to the opposition - style of play. Went to the Huddersfield away game and he was busying himself about the pitch again, second half as Saints played towards us he was winning the ball bringing it out of midfield and looking to release it into attack, but no bugger in a Saints shirt was giving him an option or making a positive move forward if they got it, the ball was invariably being recycled back to him. With the benefit of hindsight we had a forward thinking positive ball winning player playing with a bunch of blokes drilled in defensive risk averse football possessesion football, as the second half wore on this just kept happening and you could see Mario getting increasingly piddled off with it and at those around him. As the season trudged on its hardly a surprise that his flame dulled as he was an exciting ball player in a team playing inert football. I didn’t see the semi but his couple of howlers he made that I did see, again with hindsight, if you put a Formula 1 car (not saying he is a footballing deity) in rush hour traffic it’s not going to work at its full potential and more likely to break down. A player like him having to perform below his ability is likely to be prone to making mistakes.j Hope he stays, and our game is more suited to his undoubted abilities next season.

le_tiss Posted 7 June, 2018 Share Posted 7 June, 2018 Personally I think he is a great player - again we just had a manager who set up badly and didn't give the players a proper plan. 1st season in the premier league can be hard on players coming from the italian league as the pace is so different. He was also injured and still played when asked - that's when he looked off the pace or like he didn't care IMO Will be a great loss if City get him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSAINT Posted 14 June, 2018 Share Posted 14 June, 2018 Re: Lemina & Napoli: Seri in talks with Napoli Jean- Michael Seri’s agent says talks are underway with Napoli for the Nice midfielder. Agent Franklin Mala said: “We are in talks with Napoli and he’s tempted by the idea of wearing the jersey.” Sky sources understand Arsenal and Chelsea remain interested. Manchester City are also thought to be keeping tabs on the situation as they try and push through a deal for Napoli midfielder Jorginho. City and Napoli yet to agree a fee for Jorginho. The player’s agent is quoted as saying an agreement is in place between City and the player. Agent Joao Santos said: “The only certainty is he’ll be wearing blue next season.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 26 June, 2018 Share Posted 26 June, 2018 Can't see him leaving this summer. He clearly has great potential and it would take a huge offer for us allow him to go.

SuperSAINT Posted 16 July, 2018 Share Posted 16 July, 2018 Lemina tenuously linked again to City. CITY'S MIDFIELD SEARCH Manchester City are considering whether to move for another central midfielder this summer – after their number one target Jorginho signed for Chelsea. They’ve looked at Mateo Kovacic, but we understand they would not be willing to pay Real Madrid’s reported £80m asking price. City have also shown interest in Mario Lemina from Southampton, but it’s not now certain they’ll strengthen before the window closes in August. We’re told that Pep Guardiola is happy with his squad as they prepare to fly to the USA tomorrow for their pre-season tour. City broke their transfer record last week when they completed a £60m deal for Riyad Mahrez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit billy big boots. Hope I'm wrong and he stays and becomes one of our stars, but suspect all this transfer news is predicated on another big player leaving and fee coming in. Him or Bertrand. As K Billy said, if someone wants to truple what we paid, when he's barely had half a season here (in between injuries and loss of confidence), snap their hand off, reinvest in a couple of positions (strong DM and express winger) with a bit left to offset Carrillo/Forster disasters. Bertrand would be a far bigger loss - poor for much if last season but picked up when Hughes arrived and the buffoon had gone. Tried and tested at the level and this league. Man City may be keeping longer term tabs - fine, suits us, means he has to be a million times better and fitter next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
