I though a release clause had to be paid in full to actually activate it???

Indeed it does. But if the player says he only wants to join 1 club, then it can potentially just be a normal transfer. If there are multiple clubs interested and the player is happy to join any, then it removes the leverage and a release clause is more likely

I’d assume he will play on Tuesday night for Bournemouth against Chelsea and then be straight on a plane to Manchester.

Tbh I think it depends how close the deal is I.e do we want him in our squad for when we play Chelsea 4th Jan and is the deal all ready to go January 1st to make that happen as it’s reported Semenyo wants.

If it is, wouldn’t shock me if he drops out the Bournemouth squad for the Chelsea game with ‘illness’ or whatever.
 
Lol here we go again with the dippers now wanting him. Sick of these transfer battles, we always get embroiled in them, Semenyo has to be 100% committed to joining us or if not fuck him off

We will have pulled out of the deal if he wasn't fully commited, and I think by tomorrow or Tuesday we will know the outcome.

All this Liverpool talk screams of an agent trying to get huge wages for his player.

I'll put everything i own on the Mail saying he went to us for more money, not ambition, just to appease the red mardarses out there.

I always enjoyed your posts and felt they were given in good faith.
I felt the same about @tolmie's hairdoo
Gossip is to be enjoyed, but anything can happen with these deals - a player can change his mind; the club can change its mind; another player might receive a serious injury which changes priorities; a wife or girlfriend can apply pressure because Manchester is not for her.

Personally, I think Semenyo is a dangerous player but I am not sure if he is right for us unless we are considering an Erling alternative - false nine shifting Cherki central and wanting a player who can hold up the ball and also activate a fast counter.

Goals and work-rate aside, Semenyo can add physicality, which is needed in some games, especially away from home.

We have several players who are technically outstanding but a bit lightweight in duels and a bit short in our box when defending set pieces.

With (hopefully) Rodri back plus Doku and Semenyo on the wings we could have a team with incredible physicality.
