Antoine Semenyo

[Zenmanc]

I'd rather Pep figure out a way to get Marmoush to be the player he can be. We've seen flashes and some great goals already.

Exacto, we're not Chelsea. We don't just throw young players in the bin at the first sniff of other shiny objects.

The end of Bobb if this happens. Maybe send Bobb out on loan for a year see if he can find some form.

Agree with the sentiment but Marmoush is like 26

The funny thing is that Semenyo will be constitute a similar problem to current Marmoush. I good player who we currently don't know how to best utilize.

 

[Dax777]

Here is a decent breakdown of Semenyo. Including his strengths and flaws. It wont be an easy fit no matter how much he currently is producing.

That injury and then the set back has really killed his progress. I'm so disappointed as he looked like he was really about to explode onto the scene after that US tour.

Biggest gripe for me is that if he does explode, will explode while onside?

Yes, pushing the edges, maybe not confident in his electric pace burst, hard to say, isn't it.

He certainly doesn't look the same player he did, and that is a shame for him and us.

 

[blue wang]

It's not the Pep way, clearly he rates Bobb. He will give him time and mould. That's what Pep does and I believe that's organic and beautiful.

Trust in Pep, after all the things we have been through. Why wouldn't you. Bobb will get his chance and time.

If it happens it happens, if not. It will be dome with integrity. Now it's Savinhos time whilst Bobb is getting up to speed.

It's Savinho moment, however if Bobb is coming on. He will get his time. Provided Savinho drops the ball.

Everyone on merit. It's very simple.

Makes sense. Lets bin him for a much younger Semenyo who won't be 26 for another 7 weeks.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

Semenyo is good, but not as good as Doku. No need to waste money for a stand-in

 

[WallyA]

Doesn't make sense to me with Doku and Marmoush, and why buy a LW and shoehorn at RW?

Our wing options are quite good right now, the whole attacking lineup is quite good.

Just need a RB and a future Bernie/Kova replacement.

I like Marmoush just pointing out he isn’t young, and I don’t want Semenyo, he’s a counter attack player over performing his expected output, which is a peak that will trough soon enough

 

[TonyM]

If he comes in then Doku through the middle might be on the cards which could be awesome, eg...
...........Rodri Nico.......
Foden Doku Semenyo
............Haaland..........
...
...and highly unlikely.

This!

Move Doku from his best position and move Phil from his best position to fit a player inferior to both?

No thanks!

 

[bhayes]

Not needed at all

They were very effusive in their praise of him on the podcast (Blue Moon, that is) — while recognising that he may just be overperforming for a bit. One thing that interested me — he's supposed to be completely two-footed. I'll be honest, I don't know a scoobie about him. But at £65 mill, he's got to be looked at, surely?
No?
(By the way, I agree that Marmoush has got to get a decent run in the team before proper conclusions can be drawn. Problem is, I don't see Marmoush as really, genuinely a natural winger. Doku is, down to his socks. Even Savinho, maybe — although he continues to underwhelm me, frankly. But Marmoush should be played further inside. Problem then becomes, where exactly?).
