Antoine Semenyo

[NorthamptonBlue]

Bung £100m on the Bayern table and test the waters for Olise before trying for Semenyo.

We should have gone all guns blazing for Olise before Bayern swept him up.

I think we would have done, but we thought we had the next Ronaldinho in Savio.

Savio should have stayed at Girona for one more season, but I feel the club were so desperate to prove everyone the CFG model works.

And that’s why he stayed on the summer imo. Soriano should be sacked for that

Don’t think he has any interest in joining us.

 

[Semper aggressus]

If only. He’s not even the next Ricky Holden

Unless the plan is to move him to the right and move on from one of Savinho and Bobb, I don't see where he fits.

Great player, just not sure who we would move on from to make this work.

He’s played on the right wing nearly as often as he has the left this season and in his career.

He’s actually scored more from the right in a couple of fewer games.




Bobb and Savinho are too early in their development - despite their age - to be first choice here at the moment.

 

[waspish]

He looks very good I’d have him but we haven’t got the room in the squad! For me now premier players who are doing it looking quality are far better bet to buy than any league in Europe the standard is so poor compared to the premier

Bobb and Savinho are too early in their development - despite their age - to be first choice here at the moment.

They should be loaned then.

City are not a team that can wait around hoping a player becomes good.

Look at Sane in his second season at 21 years old:



14 goals and 19 assists.

If you are going to be brining in project players, that's the level they have to be at when playing for club like ours.

If we are going down the road of persisting with Bobbs and Savinhos for 2, 3 years and hoping they become good, we might as well call ourselves Manchester Hotspurs.

 

[super_city_si]

Looks a very good player but he's a left winger? We need a right winger.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

And would be off to Afcon, is it Jan, no?

 

[richards30]

Dont think his country qualified mate.

 

[decmancity]

I’d bring him in, proven he can score goals, strong and quick.

Why loan out squad players? We always need squad players for the squad. We loan them out and they’d need replacing as squad players so we’d have to buy at least two players instead of buying the one starter and keeping them as squad players.

He's homegrown, which gives us more wiggle room. The question I would have is whether he can do it against more packed defences. Maybe he doesn't need to with our new style of play. It seems like a no brainer tbh.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

I don’t think he is better than Doku, so why waste money?

 

[decmancity]

Have you seen the state of the other wingers. Doku and Semenyo capable of playing across the front line.

 

[bell_mcfc]

We need goals.

Doku has been great and showing why we should back him but even still not much return.

I believe in Bobb but he always looks for the next pass, like he’s scared to shoot.

Savio isn’t good enough.

Marmoush isn’t a winger - like Alvarez.

In his career, Semenyo has played 63 games on the left wing and 67 games on the right. This season he’s played 7 games on the left wing, scoring 2 goals; and 5 games on the right wing, scoring 4 goals.

Couple of things, firstly, completely agree on Bobb. Before his injury he looked like a difference maker but since it he's looked like a right wing Grealish. Too much turning inside and making the safe pass. There's enough talent to persist a bit longer but he's gone from potentially nailing down that spot to looking like a player for cup games.

Second, as for Marmoush, I agree he's not a winger but the formation Pep seems to be favouring at the minute doesn't require an out and out winger. The positions Cherki and Doku seem to be receiving the ball in is inside the pitch rather than out on the touchline. Its just wide of where a 10 would be and its the sort of spaces that Marmoush could be lethal with his long range shooting. I'd love to see him given a chance there. Nothing against Cherki as he'd done well but I'd like to see him compete more with Foden for the 10 spot which will give him even more creative freeedom
