I wouldn’t be overly disappointed if Cedric stayed as Valery’s back up. Great need for CB’s in my opinion
Seven years. What a confidence boast for our Tad. We were right to let him go, he has found his new home.
I know that Lemina does look languid at times, however let's be fair and remember that most of his games last season were under Hughes when we were dreadful before he carried an injury into Christmas and then barely played again. His most memorable game was when we didn't beat Man U at home but he had Pogba in his pocket the whole game. I think Lemina is technically the best player we have.
Yes I think in an ideal world Ralph would like to keep him but it's a big rebuilding job and we're not going to be able to punt all the flops that we want to so hard calls need to be made. I would say that it's less a reflection on Mario and more the fact that we aren't exactly stretched for cover in his position. With that in mind, I hope we don't sell him too cheaply despite our rather well publicised need to sell in order to grow where we need to.
His ability has never been in question. Its his attitude. He should be a leader but he doesn't seem bothered. Just comes across as a bit arrogant.
Crystal Palace away with MP2 in charge. He looked amazing that day, but Woy's tactics helped somewhat!
Lemina's best games were always when he played as the more attacking member of a midfield 3. Hojbjerg Lemina Romeu for example he did well in Played as one of the more defensive 2 he never looked as comfortable
That's because he is a playmaker not a holding midfielder. We will still need creativity to unlock defences next year whatever our tactics.
I agree What I'm saying is I think he's not shone as much as people hoped because he wasn't given enough opportunity to
Lemina is probably the most talented player we have and probably the most indifferent about the club as well. If his heart is not in it; then he becomes an (expensive) liability. Better to cut our losses and use the funds to bring in a CB with talent and ambition to play for us for 2-3 years and sell on.
No doubting his ability (although at his age he should be dominating and affecting a lot more games than he has done for us) but Danny and Redders are more talented IMO.
I just think he has the ability and would come good under ralph - he never really got a chance due to injury
Ahh i should have read on! In that case I think its a pretty good move for all parties. Wish him luck
Lemina looks world class in the first 10 minutes, then his legs start dragging behind him! Never been fit since he arrived. Get him injury free and in shape and he will shine!
