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

[Gordyola]

I’ve seen a good few Villa fans (about 6/7) be obsessed with the idea of Marmoush going there in the midst of this Semenyo saga.

I don’t even think they’ve been linked so no idea where it’s coming from. Other than 2 and 2 together to make 5.

Hope Marmoush’s position in the squad isn’t affected. Think he can still be a fantastic player for us.

Semenyo is lethal left, right and central so I don’t think they’re linked.

One of the Villa’s owners is Egyptian that could be the link

Anything from Romano with substance will be coming from info from Viana.

Semenyo is a good player and having a fantastic season, no doubt. But don't like this transfer for us.

I assume he would join as a rotation player for this season with a view to pushing into the first team next year. But what signal does this send to Doku who's in the form of his life and only just now has made the position his own?

This signing would have made more sense had we sold Savinho for £65m in August to Tottenham like we should have. Right now, it risks squad harmony to add further depth in a position where there's a lot of it elsewhere

Demoralising for Doku, pushes out Marmoush, adds complications for Foden & Cherki, further reduces Savinho's gametime and Bobb's opportunities without improving our best XI

How is it demoralising for Doku?

Wilfred Bony MkII

In what way?

 

[GX Blue]

Something tells me we are in for a rough few days in the media now, ha!

He hasn’t just picked us over 1 of the media favourites, he’s picked us above all of them.

I can’t wait to see the excuses these clubs mouthpieces come out with.

The most common one will be higher wages of course but then there will be over creative lies they’ll have to spout to try and save face.

 

[pudge]

Plus he can chuck the odd long throw into Haaland, lovely jubbly

 

[Giovinco]

Here comes the how they can do this with the 115….

How is it demoralising for Doku?

Doku playing the best he's ever done, gets a minor injury and we buy a player who will threaten his place more directly than any other player

Semenyo is a great signing on paper for any club in the league, but for us, may brings more risks to squad togetherness and our positive momentum

 

[hilts]

Every top club in the country had him on their wish list, I’ll place a bit of faith in that.

A guy on here did post a video of him being tackled once by Gvardiol though. Tread with caution guys we really should be going for players who have never been tackled like that..... what's his bloody name?

I dont believe for a second we would buy him based on a minor injury to Doku, thats utter nonsense im afraid.

Its Semenyo, not Rodney Marsh

Unbelievable take!

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Just seen this - there's a turn up!

Lovely stuff.

 

[bluemc]

Just seen Bournemouth next home game is agaisnt Arsenal on 3rd of Jan. wouldn’t be surprised if we let him play that game as it would give him a chance to say bye to fans etc and also we would hope he may help Bournemouth get a result. Seems a win win

Also provides him an opportunity to get injured and jeopardise the biggest move of his career.

 

[Georgian Maestro]

Not for me. We can rotate the front line more rather than run Erling into the ground

Haaland will start over 90% of all premier league and champions league games when fit. Marmoush will not be happy with that game time

 

[manimanc]

In what way?

In a way that I'm drunk as a skunk and being silly :)

 

[pmoney]

fs, was hoping he would join someone else, he is destined to become the new whipping boy on here.

Doku can handle competition for his spot. Its whats expected when you play for one of the best teams in the world.

No one is saying that's the reason we're buying him. But the signing is demoralising for Doku, Marmoush, Bobb etc regardless
