    It may be due to the injury he picked up last season. If I recall it was a nasty one that could well have eaten into his pre-season

    Played the second half against Altach, first 61 minutes against Preston, didn’t go to China, second half against Feyenoord, then 30 odd minutes against Köln.

    Basically he's played at least a half in every game he's been available for minus our final game where is was given 35 minutes which was still more than the majority of subs who were given 30.

    I think he is one of Ralph's first choice subs for the coming season.

    I really liked the look of Obafemi last season, some of his hold up play at Leicester in the cup was brilliant.

    Definitely a player there imo.

    One benefit often found in a short but strong striker, is the ability to hold the ball up, back to goal. It can be very hard for a 6’4” CB to dislodge that possession from someone with a low Centre of gravity.

    I had a fat arse, which is also an advantage in that situation. It was a long way round!

    Bizarre idiocy in the preview on Five Live right now. They keep saying it’s key that we kept Lemina as he is essential to us and should be at a top six team.

    Perhaps they’ve seen the light.... us + Mario focussed and buzzing = Saints top 6

    I think a more accurate equation may be... Saints + Sulking Mario = Waste of money

    On one of the Wolves forums they were saying how wonderfully versatile ML is
    Evidently he can play right back, centre half, CDM and box to box midfield.
    Wow he sounds great but it certainly isn’t our ML who last season was probably our fourth or fifth choice sulky midfielder

    He is very versatile.

    Brilliant news!

    Our best player now, and that length of contract shows he believes in Ralph and the club. Get in

    Or does he know he's not very good and seen how good a deal Fraser's got, and wants a piece of the action.

    Only joking lover Redmond and i was one of the happy guys when we signed and am so pleased he is showing how good he is.
