    Arsenal sniffing round him , think we may have missed our chance with this guy.

    Would be a great signing though

    Yes I heard Arsenal were keen and sempre WHU!

    Is there one player alive that hasn't been linked to them? Answers on the back page of the latest edition of Wobbly Bits Weekly and sent to Gold and Sullivan Ltd,Railways Cuttings,E Cheam.

    Gaining a bit of traction this one. Competing with WHU, which bearing mind our lowly league finish will be tough.

    Cant see him going to Arsenal though as he wants first team football, according to this piece.

    What is is with Wenger repeatedly buying CMs. Every summer Arsenal needs CBs and strikers and he just comes back with even more CMs.

    It reminds of when I go clothes shopping and cant find anything I like so just buy more of what I already have.

    Time to get the Pozzo Mercedes Taxi with the plates removed, stuff him in the back and let him out at Yates Wine Lodge and tell him that hes in Valencia.

    That's what they did with Holebas, right? I think that may be what led to his anger issues and all those bookings...

    According to the tweet world, people are quoting him from a recent interview in which he has said: "I'm flattered by the interest of Arsenal & Watford. I'm playing for a big club now but I'm happy about the interest of other clubs"

    Arsenal don't need him, so I would think that's just agent talk. Valencia can't afford him without selling, so it looks like we are in pole position. Based on his statement that people are tweeting, he seems like he wouldn't oppose a move here.

    I'd like to hear 'I play for a big club, but I can see I won't be first choice. I'm ready to cash in on this and therefore I'm very happy to hear of the interest of Watford which I hear is within commuting distance of many fine nightclubs'.

    Then I'd feel confident.

    Haven’t seen much of him but he came on in the CL final (I can’t imagine we’ve had many CL finalists in our ranks) and has obviously been part of a dominant Juve team winning the league year after year so some winning pedigree there!

    Hopefully the sort of player if he came could bring that mentality to us as we seemed so fragile last season. Interesting that it is mainly mid-table type sides that seem to be linked (from what I gather) rather than perhaps sides in that Everton sort of bracket but then maybe a good sign that he wants to play every week and really prove himself.

    As I say haven’t seen enough of him to judge too much his playing ability but someone who’s been part of such a successful Juve team obviously has something about them, not to mention what he would have learned being around the likes of Buffon etc.

    On the face of it can’t see too many negatives or any reason not to go for him but hopefully turns out more successful than our other Mario at CM if it happens!

    I sincerely hope this happens, massive upgrade on our midfield. He is a roaming sort of player (bit like Doucoure) but his technical skills are so much better. Could cost a lot of money, however definitely worth it.

    I was unaware they had a team specifically looking at players' backsides.

    Would certainly be a fantastic signing but unfortunately I doubt he will come here. I hope I am wrong though.

    If we sign Lemina we'll have Capoue, Doucoure, Cleverly, and Lemina, all seem to be similar central midfielder / box-to-box types. Could someone who knows more about Lemina (or football generally) explain how they see this working out.

    Given that Silva often prefers 4-2-3-1, will we see any of them shift to a more defensive/destroyer play style? A 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 would seem to suit these players, but then it means putting Pereyra and Zarate out wide.

    Or putting Capoue on the transfer list.

    Agree with this. All the pundits love him and said he was out POTS. I don't rate him at all and I really hope Silva doesn't either.

    We would of been relegated if it wasn't for Capoue's goals last season, yet some of you think we should get rid....

    It's not like we are saying start with 10 players we want him replaced with a player that actually does give a ****....Every game, not just 5 or 6 per season

    And just for the record, it's would HAVE not would of.

    I'm by no means saying it's impossible, but vague statements of being flattered by other clubs' interest don't really give me any visions of Lemina being any more likely to decide to leave Juventus and come here. He probably doesn't have any idea who we are, or what our project is, and frankly, why would he?

    Did we not show interest for him last summer? Given we also signed Pereyra I expect he knows who Watford are, though what the project is I don't know. If Juve buy N'Zonzi it may well force Lemina closer to the exit, but whether that means he's any closer to us I wont say.
