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

[Damocles]

I don't want him. Think there's better out there in the summer. He's the ultimate "in form so Jan signing" player ala Bony.

His record is generally atrocious outside the last 12ish months. And this isn't some guy who never got his shot until recently. He's 25. He has 300 professional games. The signs all point to him being in form than talent just escalated.

There's much more sensible and economical options available in summer.

 

[Alexia_Ko]

I'm OK with that

Not sure Pep or Doku would be pleased with that. Imagine making it work on the left after three years just to be displaced for a purple patch player

Why, if he chooses them over us then he chosses them over us, you spent all summer worried about who chose them and look where that's landed them.Just let it play out and see where we are.

Yep. So many on here were like ‘we are miles behind Liverpool’ after their summer spending spree.

 

[bell_mcfc]

I take that back fair enough

He does an awful lot of worrying about transfers! Haha!

I would argue that Doku is the purple patch player

 

[Alexia_Ko]

I would argue that Doku is the purple patch player

He’s got the most big chances created and actually plays against low blocks week in-week out

 

[skillman]

I really want him. Direct winger, aggressive and energetic in the press and lethal with both feet.

I just don’t like what it might mean for Marmoush. Different players, yes. Different positions, yes. But I do think Marmoush’s game time would be even more affected by the arrival of a new forward.

That said. I’d still rather we get Semenyo in. He’s a ticking time bomb in terms of potential and just waiting to blow up. Mane at Southampton kind of deal. Salah at Fiorentina. Kev at Wolfsburg etc etc

 

[Tomblue]

I think it’s fair to say it’s highly unlikely we end up getting him in January especially given there seems to be about 6 teams after him. We rarely come out on top in scenarios like this.

Not too fussed either way to be honest, really not sure if he makes much of a difference for us.

 

[Blue warrior]

Why has the thread title changed?

 

[red 2 hats]

I think he's a great player, but bound for the murderers.

 

[Phil1]

Why has the thread title changed?

Catch up, he's signed for the mighty reds. Or is it Mighty ducks, I'm not sure. Both wonderful underdog stories either way.

yeah literally every player we have is a cast off that nobody else wanted *rolls eyes

im all aboard never signing anyone from the premier league mid table ranks ever again, doubly so if english

Nunes, Philips, Bony, Rodwell, Scott Sinclair, Grealish (for the price), Trafford, Ait Nouri (so far), Kovacic.

basically a fucking disaster since mahrez and maybe Ake

I think the club might have fomo after watching Ollie and eze at CP for so long and letting them go only to see them absolutely crush it elsewhere.

Yeah Nunes no longer deserves to be in your list. Trafford hardly been a disaster, Kovo been done by injuries and Alt Nouri similar and far far too soon to judge.
Give you the other ones, well except Grealish who was a success even if only fleetingly but yeah, agree with your list.

Who's kongo?

Damn, in before the edit!!

 

[johnny crossan]

I take that back fair enough

Not so common after all lol
The things folk say on here cracks me up sometimes
