AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Just now, Tomato Deuce said: I’d be happy to have him, but I honestly hate how much we rely on loans from bigger clubs to fill out our roster. Like a beaten dog mewling for table scraps. It’s so small-time and a further indictment of our transfer policy and upper-level management. Yep, absolutely awful. Same with Gallagher, although I think he’s also class. If the club can’t be sold than Ashley has to invest in it. But of course he won’t. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 And it’d be comically stupid, though par for the course, to swap out Hayden for Lemina. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Lemina was decent for a bit in his first season. Dont think he's really performed since then though obviously didnt see him in Turkey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 31 minutes ago, AyeDubbleYoo said: He seems fairly busy, no specific specialism but runs around forward and back. Have seen him make a fair few errors and lose the ball for Fulham, IIRC. He's described as a tenacious box to box midfielder on his wiki page for what that's worth, those are definitely qualities we are missing. Although obviously it's not much use if he's useless when he's actually got the ball. Also seems his contract is up next year and that would be why we're in for him.

STM Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I've always thought Lemina looked like had something about him but perhaps wasn't applied correctly. Which is unfortunate because Brucey will make him fetch the babs after the match. Greame Jones might get something out of him but it's another NUFC throw of the dice. The fact that Shelvey is first name on the teamsheet basically makes out midfield selection null and void anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Don;t think Lemina is that bad. Think he scored a canny goal vs us at SJP a few seasons ago Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consortium of one Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Anyone paired with Shelvey is a shit midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Don't think Lemina is that bad, he was decent for Southampton in the first few months of 17/18 but then just tailed off. Him and Willock coming in would improve our options, getting rid of Hayden though and keeping Shelvey and Hendrick is absolutely brainless. Would take Gallagher too, also surprised no one's gone in for Matheus Pereira yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just would expect that this is the worst possible place for him to discover his best form. Especially trying to run a whole midfield himself alongside JJ.

et tu brute Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Would be a typical Ashley/Bruce, signing that has done fuck all for a few years, but is available on the cheap. Sign a player that another lower table club don't want, whilst the likes of Villa and Leeds (very recently promoted), start to leave us miles behind. He's not worth a punt if you want to be even half ambitious, to which we don't of course. Boy, I'm so pleased that I have finally drawn the line and won't watch a minute of any football from NUFC whilst those two are at the helm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
