Antoine Semenyo | Medical at City Thursday - Sky (p230)

Our wage bill is definitely one of the highest in the league, based on our recent accounts (in which we made an operating loss for the first time in years) - which I’d imagine is behind the noise we’re making about having to sell to buy.

We have four senior keepers on the books, and players like Grealish and Akanji still on the wage bill who don’t even play for us anymore - clearly that’s not sustainable.

Add to that our squad list is currently at its limit for non-homegrown players.

Although it seems pretty clear that Bernardo and Ortega will both be leaving from that list in the summer, that doesn’t help us right now - and neither Bobb nor Ake leaving helps us either.

Semenyo is on (relatively) sensible wages, and qualifies as homegrown - which, alongside his clear talent and demonstrated quality in this League, will be part of the reason he’s so attractive to us.

Great post
 
So many posts in this thread that feel like they are being shared so the poster can bookmark in the hope that the lad turns out shit so they can look like they know what they are talking about which is a very weird way to be.

I’ve barely watched the guy outside of when we’ve played them and not sure how many others truly have on here, unless they are some sort of data analysts on the side with all the spare time in the world.

From the highlights, reports on his work ethic and his current stats, he looks like he’s going to add something and seeing as we need all the weapons we can in fighting Stoke for the title, I’ll be delighted if he signs as there seems to be next to fuck all else readily available and up to speed in the league as he is right now.

Don't forget we sold some big names in the summer with high wages,(DeBruyne, Walker, Ederson) all of which would have been on high wages & now off the books.

Antoine Semenyo: Manchester City close to agreeing terms with Bournemouth attacker

Manchester City are close to agreeing terms with Bournemouth to sign Antoine Semenyo for £65m, but Andoni Iraola insists the forward has "definitely not" played his last game for the Cherries.

All his pl goals this season...anyone who thinks he is bobbins, average or will be a bench warmer may think again watching this. Scores confidently with both feet, fast, direct & has loads of assists. But I still stand by not giving them a penny till he has played his last game for them. I'm sure it happened once before when someone signed for a new club but broke their leg/did his acl or similar in his last game and was out for a year
