Fan The Flames Posted 25 June, 2021 Share Posted 25 June, 2021 Lemina is one of those players that has a enough promise that another club will feel that they can get a tune out of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BERMUDASAINT Posted 25 June, 2021 Share Posted 25 June, 2021 On 01/05/2021 at 16:23, S-Clarke said: Let's hope we don't over price him in the summer and just get him off the books. Obviously that auto transfer to Fulham won't be triggered now, but I still think 7m is probably a fair fee for someone like him with just a year left. There's no point holding out hope that he may come back here a different player, he wont. He's fundamentally flawed and always will be. A waste of natural talent, but that's what it is. I'm sure there will be another manager who feel they can get that talent out of him, and so the circle will start again. Did you watch him play last year? He has changed? A player finally does what we wanted, to apply himself to the fullest, yet he will never change in the eyes of the Saints gurus who knows all! @27 he is in prime time, if his attitude has grow up like he has , we may have the player we had hoped for, last year showed much improvement, lets hope he shows Ralf he is ready to step into those boots as a man....committed to the Saint cause. I think he will be an asset for any club now that he has seemingly changed his attitude and passion to playing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not arguing with what you are saying, but I get the feeling that bridges have been burned, things perhaps said, and neither wants to work with the other. I would be amazed if he ever played for us again unless the manager left this summer, which is unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_clark Posted 29 June, 2021 Share Posted 29 June, 2021 Surprised by the amount of people on Facebook (I know) saying they'd turn down £5million. In my eyes, if we get anything at all for the expensive liabilities in our squad on top of just gettijg them off our wage bill, it's a hell of a bonus.

TWar Posted 29 June, 2021 Share Posted 29 June, 2021 Lemina did have a good season at Fulham, I think we could probably push them a bit higher, to 7 or 8 mil maybe.

This is the apex of his value and if we don't sell now we are paying £5m atleast to have a 4th choice midfielder for 1 year when we have promising youth in that position. It just doesn't make sense to keep him at all for me, but we can probably get more than £5m. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup - in his situatioin, (unwanted by club, last year of contract, high wages, tosser) £5m is a great deal for us. if you solely look at his footballing ability at his best, he's worth far more than that, but not to us. If we can just get his wages off the bill that would be a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He turned up and looked decent against the 'big six' sides (surprise, surprise) but when it came to the crunch he was anonymous as usual. £5m and I'll give him a lift to wherever it is.

Turkish Posted 29 June, 2021 Share Posted 29 June, 2021 We should bite their hand off at £5m, cant see us getting anything better. He'll be 28 at the start of the season spends 1/3 of most seasons out injured and has about 3-4 games a season where he looks great then disappears again. You get the impression from him that he loves the money and lifestyle of being a footballer but not actually being one. Reminds me of the Carillo situation when we had a couple of offers for him but it was reported we turned them down as we though we could make a profit, instead we ended up loaning him out then having to pay him to leave. Ridiculous situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
