Mario Lemina has completed a permanent move to Galatasaray.
Good riddance.

Bit harsh, I thought he gave his all for the club and emotions got the better of him sometimes. I think too much pressure was put on him during the period where he played cb, midfield and at times on the wing. Left him a bit broken imo, he gained us some valuable points and I wish him well. I don’t think we know what went on recently but prior mismanagement caused a lot of the problems again imo. Will always remember him as super mario.

Agree Goat.easy to jump to the negatives.
The reason behind the discord has not been shared, but he came to us at a difficult time (again) and played a big part in keeping us up.
Even this season, early performances were better than many of our "fancy dans". Then suddenly thing changed.
Not good, but E&S reporting he was not disruptive in the last few weeks.
Anyway, what is done, is done. Onwards and hopefully upwards for Wolves.

He's been a good servant to the club, and produced some good moments. Its a pitty he lost his head towards the end

Far from happy about this.
Less than 12 months ago he was one of the best CMs in the Premier League and a rock of our side - that under GON was incredibly threatening to have a very good season. We had an outside chance of European football and "only" Coventry stood between us and another FA cup semi.
However today he is gone for pennies and to be honest it seems like pretty much it was the only outcome left and we should be grateful to get out with a few pence and saving his salary for the remainder of his contract.
We obviously don't know exactly what has gone on but it is a very sad situation where Mario appears to have had a "melt down"
Clearly he was still highly committed to the club at the start of the season - indeed GON made him captain and if you watched the early season games he was clearly still trying.
Indeed perhaps that was one of the problems?
He was at times running around like a headless chicken trying too hard.
Was he a victim of the total breakdown the side suffered?
The lack of organisation and defensive structure, (partly as a result of trying to play 4, 4, 2 without Premier League quality CBs but partly due to GON's seemingly total inability to get the side playing with even the basics of defensive positioning and discipline), meant that not only were we losing but we were losing embarrassingly badly. As a senior pro was the "shame" of being involved/associated with this "mess" too much for him to handle?
His head went down, his game fell apart and the rest as we say is history!
If GON had been dismissed, as he surely should have been, after the debacle of Brentford, could Mario's Wolves career have been salvaged?
For me I will be grateful for the good times we had - the astonishing win at Chelsea when he and Gomes totally outplayed the £200m+ Chelsea midfield - and wish him well for the future.
However we are not a side that can afford to lose top quality Premier league players for way below their "value" but sadly once again this has happened!

Future in fairness Mario Lemina played more and scored more for WWFC than any other club that he has played for. He's a classic Journeyman player.

No Abbey, Noah was only on loan to end of last season. He's now with Annecy in ligue2.
