Antoine Semenyo | Prefers to join City - Ornstein (p73)

Need to get this done as soon as possible. If Liverpool are sniffing we've no chance. He'll go to the bigger club with a proven European pedigree - we aren't European Royalty, they are. Also, as we saw with Isak and Wirtz, there is a proven record of the top, top, top players going to Liverpool, old money, as opposed to us, new money. Also their money is earned through decade upon decade of onfield success, ours is from an oil rich state.....
Haha. Unfortunately that’s how the DFail & BBC think
 
He is press resistant but like silva but score more! Wasn’t there something in the media a bit back that we might be looking for an “experience” meaning older player for midfield? If so Paqueta would be ideal..
Not a replacement or cover for Gonzales then but could be great cover for Silva. Hopefully this means the club think that Rodri will be able to play a significant part of the season otherwise Nico will be run into the ground
 
Cherki?

Maybe he is, but with all due respect to Cherki, we shouldn't be shifting Foden to a position or area on the pitch where he's weaker just for him. Certainly not yet, at least.

Foden can't start in every game. It's inevitable that Cherki starts centrally in some games. Would be interesting to try him at 10.

If he is better there, Pep will have a decision to make about how to play Foden. Starting Foden at 8 is a genuine option (but arguably not in the most difficult games). For now, Foden centrally and Cherki on the right is the best bet.
