Mario Lemina

[Lollipoppins]

Arsenal supposedly bid 16mil for him. Which was subsequently turned down. Watford have now apparently bid 20mil which is more to Juve's asking price, but Lemina doesnt want a move to Vicarage Rd.
Since he's on the radar for the last couple days (reported in a few different rags) thought I'd open a thread in case there is something to this.
I personally can't see why we would be in for him but....it's a rumour.

We're looking for CB not a DM.

 

[rich 1990]

This signing would make me as sour as lemins.

 

[Lollipoppins]

Here's his promo vid if anyone is interested. The music is terrible but it does make ye wanna pick up a control pad.

Not happening, we've got a midfielder this window already and it's now the position with the most reinforcements we have.

 

[Garrincha]

Seems to have a nice mix of dynamism, aggression & ability on the ball.

No idea what the starting pair is now though so hard to judge if he improves that.

 

[cannonade]

This probably really isn't happening, but.... it's perfect. Desperate at CB? Cringe-worthy options at striker? Sign another midfielder.

 

[carlito'sway]

Not happening....Total hoax, this one. Lemina is not even a poor man Elneny, totally inconsistent and overated. I saw him a lot when he was with OM 2 years ago. Bielsa tried hard to make a player out of him, he did not succeed.

I've never seem him play so can't comment on his ability. I'd like to know whether we did indeed bid or not though. To say we did is audacious given the fact we never prepared or registered an interest as we always seem to do, and dont need him really. I mean of all the types of players we could be linked with, why a midfielder? :confused:

Made up story either by the Mirror or more likely an agent....MF may be the least of our issues now and it we had any, I don't think we would go for Lemina.

He signed for Juventus this window. I know the Mirror is toilet paper, but can't they do basic research?

Actually, he signed last season, in the summer 2015. He was on loan with option to buy from OM.
Having said that, BS stories are not limited to the Mirror....I have read some of the silliest rumors o Telegraph or even the Guardian.

Arsenal clearly hoping fans think he's Pogba.

I was just about to say, do these guys try to look like Pogba and hope it fools some club?

 

[razörist]

Tbh, it worked for Pogba, so who knows.

Take a look at @ed_aarons's Tweet:
The last thing we need is another CM we have 5 players can play there.

 

[Dennis_Bergkamp_10]

This was never happening, ITK's should take a look if a club even needs another midfielder before linking us with another crap story.

He was on loan, and properly signed for Juventus this window.

That is what i said....

Would love for this to happen. End Coquelin Arsenal career!

But not going to happen!
