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

[bell_mcfc]

Shame

 

[Bluemoon has risen]

The club.

The clubs interest isn’t as strong as others.

Its got Alexis Sanchez type vibes to me this deal, he'll go to the highest bidder (wages). We ended up with Mahrez in the end and like that deal we'll find someone better in the summer.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

It seems unless players come crawling over broken glass begging to play for us we move on.
On this occasion I'm not arsed, don't see how he improves us much.

The way it should be. If they’re not 100% committed then why bother?

I remember alot of pissing and moaning when Wirtz chose Liverpool.

That’s going well.

Another wing target or just not bothering mate?

Nah, I've no issues with players looking at all their options. If the financial package is the most important thing to them then that's a different matter.
Like I said, in this case I'm not overly arsed, he's not a game changer and I doubt he would impact us a great deal.

It would be strange if we offered Semenyo what Cherki and Doku earn combined (or even more...).

We don't tend to do things that may disrupt the atmosphere or don't make enough sense.

That said, if the club think Semenyo would make sense even at 180-200k a week, then I wouldn't be against. Let's see what happens.

 

[roach3]

According to Romano only 20m up front
From his release, explains rag interest
If this fucker does a hazard and holds a big fukin card up with his preference
He can get to fuck

 

[Gorbachev]

We ain't paying £200k+ a week for a player that won't be a regular, and he won't.

We already have Marmoush on £280k a week and he isn't a regular

Sounds like he is selling himself out to the highest bidder to me

 

[Tevez City]

Not convinced he's at the level.

Thats what I tell myself after missing out on any signing

We have history. Isn't Phillips on £150k a week?

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Even more criminal was the 6 year length of contract.

 

[super_city_si]

Im not that disappointed. I don't think he moves the dial enough and do have doubts about him against low blocks.

Me either. Be a great squad player but thats pretty expensive for a squad player

 

[Gorbachev]

Will go down as one of the worst ever transfers that.

Not if you're Kalvin Phillips!!

 

[waspish]

Didn’t know we still had itk on here!?

The glory days of the ITKs is a distant memory.
Just a collection of chancers and bullshit merchants these days.
Damian seems fairly legit but I've lost faith in most.

As soon as Pep came in, the club became near on water tight for transfer news getting out of the club.

Before Pep, the insiders at the club were like singing canaries.

This forum was apoplectic in the summer windows.

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

I like Semenyo and if he comes here great

But if Chelsea get him I would love us going balls deep for Neto from them

 

[bluemc]

He was only ever going to be a back-up for us.

Our best front 3 is Doku, Haaland and Cherki with Foden behind.

Agreed on our best front line, however the issue is with those available for rotation or cover. An injury to any of those and we're looking at Bobb/Savinho, who simply aren't offering enough. I rate Marmoush and hope he gets chances to show what he's made of after AFCON.

I'm not saying Semenyo is the answer, he feels like "Mr Right Now" as opposed to "Mr Right", but I do think we need to strengthen in wide areas.

 

[Phil1]

I miss the days when Bobb was injured and became WC in his absence..
