Antoine Semenyo | Deal completed - Sky (p258)

[Plain Speaking]

Hopefully signed in time to be in the squad to play Exeter. If so I'd play him instead of Haaland.

I agree, Haaland's had massive minutes for a while, with Marmoush at Afcon. Haaland's minutes need to be managed to avoid injury, (as Arsenal are doing with the likes of Rice and Saka.)

I don't know what the rules are for the FA Cup in terms of registration deadlines, but I'd imagine he'll be on the bench. We'll play a kid up front, no chance Erling starts.

thought Arsenal was to be his last game?

Id look elsewhere

Lol

Iraola has just said in his pre-Spurs press conference that he expects Spurs to be Semenyo's last game for Bournemouth

It makes sense for him to play against and maybe take points off a rival.

Not sure if asked but is there any rules with the carabao cup? Can semenyo play in that game? If not available for Exeter. Thinking of being double registered/cup tied rules.

Seems you can’t be cup tied in the League Cup anymore.

That's true regarding the Carabao Cup, you can play for more than one club. The FA Cup remains the same, you can only represent one team.

 

[Stoned Rose]

God that's nice of us.

Yeah but don’t forget mate he was going to score 6 goals against each of them. You know, rather than being available to play for us and helping us pick up more than 2 points from Chelsea and fucking Sunderland.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Makes sense. In 2-3 years time Bournemouth might have another player we're interested in. Better to keep relationships sweet instead of upsetting other directors by being aggressive. Semenyo being allowed to play these three games this week could get us that Kroupi Jr when he comes of age.

Because of course, that’s how it works.

Who’s rival?

He's trolling people.

 

[Zenmanc]

I was on the fence as to whether we needed him a week ago- now I'm off of it. We have dire need in our center halves as well as midfield bolstering.

 

[carlosthejackal]

Is he walking up to Manchester?

Are you Wilson?

Just behind Geoff Thomas.

 

[clarion]

Walk away, Hugo.

Football directorship is about keeping good relationships with other directors, yes.

 

[bell_mcfc]

Walk away, Hugo.

Why? It’s literally being reported part of the deal was he stayed for those games.

Trolling is a bit harsh mate. But yes I did dangle a bit of hook out there, and it was quite obviously a joke though.
