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

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

He adds some thing different, something we dont have with raw pace and power (outside of Haaland). he has the work ethic that Pep demands (see Peps recent comments on Sav).

Is he as technically gifted with the ball as say Foden or Cherki....no he is not (but not many are)....but he has attributes that they dont have....as said before he has real pace and power...so he adds something we dont have.

He can play either side and is a better goal scorer than ANY of our current wide players..

Is he a better dribbler than Doku...no he isnt (but then again who is) but he is a better goal scorer

We need options and different ways of playing. He gives teams something else to think about...he adds to our ability to play on the fast break which automatically puts teams on the back foot. He isnt going to be physically bullied like Sav and Bobb either.

and he adds the long throw as well - will Pep use this....we will see but the other attributes mentioned are way more important anyway...his physicality defensively is going to be very important as well

That is a great post. In fact I think we may be on for another treble if we get him and our other injuries clear up quickly and if we have a full squad from now till June. Call me a dreamer but it's what I will always do regarding City. Happy new year to all blues the world over.

Have seen the throws but think it's very un-Pep like don't you think. Maybe if it was injury time and we were chasing an equaliser.

What's he pissing about at? Sign the f***ing contract. And tell Guehi to pull his finger out as well.

Has Richards30 hacked your fucking account?

Hope nobody here watched last nights game due to the signing/hype and is judging him off that solely.

Never seen a more obvious performance of a player playing within himself before a big move, it was hilarious. He barely moved all game.

I’m excited for this one. Whether he moves the needle for us in terms of overall quality as a team we’ll see, but I’m convinced he’ll be a hit. Goals from out wide finally won’t seem like a novelty

No; can't lie. As Mike Yarwood (remember him?) used to say, "and this is me"
