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

[Gorbachev]

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.

I agree mate.

I just don't think the club will push hard on him as a back up when he is still going to cost £65m and probably upwards of £250k a week because of how many other clubs want him.

I think because he has nearly every top team in the country wanting him, he can demand pretty much his salary package.

The money we would be spending on him is typical of someone who should be a starter.

 

[Semper aggressus]

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.

He would improve us a lot, he actually scores and creates goals.

I don't think he improves us a lot. Not sure he improves us at all and doesn't get in our fully fit first 11. We'll agree to disagree.

What would he do against parked buses though?

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

Gutted. Huge upgrade on Bobb and Savio.

Wish we pushed for this lad. Think he’s class.

 

[kingn6]

So what’s next, he’s signing for City because we pay him 1m a week?

You should know the rules by now.

If he signs for us it is because of payments off the books from us to his dad, agent and Mancini.

If he signs for another club we lost out because he supported the club as a kid, club has the best sporting project and the best manager.

Gutted?? Haha!

 

[kingn6]

The figure was from the accounts released last week, so I imagine it's the entire club.

Either way, I think Stefan pointed out, it's too high.

It did include Gundo, jack, kdb and ederson.

 

[kingn6]

Not if you're Kalvin Phillips!!

United have few of those deals through the years

 

[Cobwebcat]

With respect to all posters I don’t think we have any ITKs anymore.

I like Semenyo but I would like the money spent in central midfield ideally…if we can’t have both.

 

[TonyBookEnd]

He would be a nice addition but not a key addition

I’d want him and Anderson this January just because for me the squad needs buffering up! 1 or 2 injuries we want compete for anything..

 

[p.taker]

Gutted?? Haha!

Never fails right?

 

[Marvin.]

The club.

The clubs interest isn’t as strong as others.

And how do you know that? Educated guess I presume.

Well that would be very stupid, unless you know that Kovacic, and Rodri's returns are doomed.

 

[Ajm1985]

Well we never like being in a bidding war - pretty much always require the player to commit to just us. If we don’t get that reassurance from him, we'll move elsewhere

 

[Berti No Show]

Semenyo would be a luxury. Stock piling for the sake of it. If we are bringing a LW/RW in id rather we bring in one that improves our first 11 like Olise or Kravatskhelia would.

We are better off putting that money on Elliot Anderson this January. If we get an injury to Nico G, that's probably our season over.

 

[richards30]

Shame if we have moved on as him on one side and Doku in the other but be power and pace personified!

 

[Giovinco]

Let’s go all out for rodrygo

Only bidding war is wages though mate?
