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

[come-on-barney]

There’s a lot of very strong rumours this will happen. He’s one of the outstanding players this season, and has the work ethic Pep demands from his players. What’s interesting about Semenyo is he wins more headers than any other winger in the Premier League and is 3rd in the Premier League for goal involvements behind Morgan Rogers and our very own Haaland. So with Doku and Semenyo on the wings that could be very exciting.

We are going back to Sane/Sterling - exciting

Hey; bad wind is nothing to be mocked. According to my dog.

Everyone blames Rover.

I'm very late in finding out he's not at AFCON. Ghana's failure to qualify is quite a shock.

Ditto. I was reading about him the other day, didn’t know he played for Ghana. Which had me wondering how is he not at AFCON. 24 teams competing and Ghana isn’t one of them. How did they fuck that up??

 

[City Raider]

Great that we’re looking to improve the squad from a position of strength unlike last season which seemed a bit panicked.

Not seen him against a low block and hope it doesn’t have too much impact on Cherki. He’s been much better playing from the right than central both for us and in France.

Isn't Cherki right-footed? Idk why he can't play LCM and Foden next to him on the right, who's much better on that side than the left, and also far more one-footed than Cherki. Something like:

Haaland
Doku-Cherki-Foden-Semenyo
Gonzalez​

I think Doku and Semenyo work hard enough defensively to take some of the load off Gonzalez, and perhaps, more specifically, off Cherki and Foden, who aren't super effective off the ball.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Liverpool broke the British record for spending in a single window with a mere £450m. So probably not.

Wooosh.

;)

They finished bottom of a group containing Angola, Sudan and Niger. Yes, really.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

They have lots of fans from extremely low IQ parts of the world

Yorkshire and Merseyside?

 

[Gordyola]

Whether it's true or not if you have the best striker in the world, a true global star of football, it's not gonna hurt when looking to get people in.

Absolutely
Was just pointing out that it is more than just a rumour

No defending just skills and goals

Ha. Doku works pretty hard off the ball. Semenyo definitely does. I think that's partly what makes Semenyo so appealing to Pep and co.

 

[RayCTID]

Don't agree with the transfer and still think money is better spent elsewhere in the team but fair enough it is Christmas. Bournemouth have cut their own throats with this one.

Midfield would get overrun in reality. You’d have to have inverted fullbacks and even then.

He's two footed but he natuarally prefers his left foot.

Sub in Rodders and that could be terrifying for opponents

That front 5 would be suck fun to watch!

Just like to point out that £65M ain't cheap.

Bernardo starts for me

 

[handsofstone]

Think that his value will be in the big games where he will get more space

We dont dominate possession like we used to and more often we get deeper against the stronger teams, hes strong defensively for a winger and is great at carrying the ball
