Antoine Semenyo | Considering triggering the £65m release (p13)

[bluemc]

totally f*cked ourselves over with that one as everyone other than Spurs knew he was wank when they were interested in the summer. Now were stuck with the fidget spinner 2.0... :(

Harsh, given the fidget spinner cost 80m and moved on at a huge loss, yet Savinho was around 20m. So even if the reported 70m offer from Spurs was true, and I'd be amazed if anything like that was ever actually on the table, you'd hope getting over 20m if he moves on is easily achievable.

Wasn't it midnight toper?

No. A toker. Someone who smokes cannabis. Joker, Smoker, Toker,,,

I’m more thinking we need Anderson this January than him if we only buying one player

Don’t disagree but no chance Forest let him go in January, whereas Semenyo has a-release clause and would be easier to do.Think if we only do one in January it would be this one.

I think I read somewhere that Anderson has some sort of a convoluted release clause also

Big, white gopher.
The song was originally written after Steve Miller visited Canada and instantly felt a close and personal attraction to ‘Wiarton Willie’, Ontario’s weather predicting, albino groundhog.
Willie eventually passed away in 2020 from a tooth abscess.
People close to the Milwaukee born singer described him as being, ‘Gutted’.

I’ve seen it suggested he has a secret one like Gibbs White but not sure if thats just guessing.

Well we should try for Anderson and if they insist they ain’t selling in January do the deal now in principle to buy him in the summer!

A toper is a pisshead. I thought it was that. Thanks for correcting me.

And.........is that good or bad?

A good thing. We haven’t got enough players in the squad in their prime years.

 

[Doc_Testosterone]

Well you'd imagine that if between us and Spurs Semenyo would pick us.

They might not have many options left.

I was concerned with Spurs not wanting to sign Savio

Yea, One drinks to get wasted and the other smokes to get high, lol...

Martin Blackburn saying we are going for him in January, he’s normally spot on with us.

So just now if someone else is going in and where he’d rather go.

This is correct.

He used to pretty reliable though these days Jack Gaughan seems to get the best briefings from the club

Used to be a bit cautious about signing players from midtable Prem clubs, unless they are a Mahrez with genuine title-winning, POTY-pedigree.

But I kind of feel the Prem has evolved even a bit more into a super league in the last 5 years, even more so in the last 2. Average players like Lookman and McTominay goes abroad and turn into the best players in their leagues. Players like Reijndeers and Wirtz comes into the league as world-beaters and is made to look incredibly average.

Right now I feel like the best players are mostly playing in the Premier League, and every team in the league has a player or teo who could do a job for an elite team. A bit like where Serie A was in the 80's and 90's and the Spanish league were around 2010. Prem proven is maybe for the first time a real factor. For this reason I am excited about Semenyo, where 5 years ago I would be very hesitant

No desperate need for him. Get Marmoush and Savinho back into contention first before wasting £60m+ for another player who has to adapt.
