Depends how you define deadwood. For me it’s someone who you would want to shift but cannot. I think if the opportunity Dasilva off the wage bill last summer was there then the club/NP would have taken it.

Roy?

Didn’t think of that. Massive relief to us to have that rest.

What sort of midfielder is Taylor-Clarke?

Marlee Francois 30 yd overhead kick into the top corner incoming if today is anything to go by.

Cmon let’s see the next gen for 10 mins, Scott and Bell are the this gen now! ?

Absolutely, without a doubt!

Bristol Live - 29/01/2023 - “Bournemouth have £20 million bid accepted for Bristol City’s Sam Bell.”

Seen a few post recently doubting Tanner as he is not as imposing physically in matches as Pring. I think that shows that he more than makes up for it in technical ability.

I didn’t even know Tanner or Bell could do that! Wow!!!

Defo looks better after a week off from what I have seen.

Brilliantly ball across by Sykes, who apparently has nothing in the final third according to a section of City fans.

Enjoyable FA Cup tie this, both teams having a go

Sorry if mentioned before - Is there any TV coverage today for any of us not local?

My point was though, he wasn’t really in line for this move last summer but was clearly fancied by Brighton, so surely a bit of a contractual blunder to have not put him on a contract more worthy of his status.

It really has me thinking recently about how much attention should be paid to loan performances. Especially when a lot of our better academy graduates who eventually went for big money performed decently on loan but never turnt up trees. I saw a Sunderland fan comment on a Semenyo to B’mouth Twitter rumour “is that the kid who couldn’t hit a barn door for us?”.

Because if he is on a contract insanely far under his value, that of a decent Championship player when he is clearly far superior than that, makes it all the more difficult in situations like this. You’re asking someone to stay professional when his salary is going to be increased by at least 10x if he is on £10k, and god knows how many times if he is on that rumoured £3.5k. We can all comment on his unprofessional behaviour, but 90% would do the same in his position.

Even then, egg on Brighton’s face as that is very low for a well performing PL player nowadays.

The lad is 21 and signed directly from an Ecuadorean team aged 19, I would imagine he would be on about that!

I see Semenyo being at a similar level to where Bryan and Reid are now.

Yeah and Semenyo still not a striker that score goals

Pretty low risk to offer a 2+1 now if you ask me.

Am I right in thinking Taylor Moore is still on the books?

You'd imagine Bell would be given a chance to start in the front three after his previous two appearances.

Could we potentially be stuck in a situation where Semenyo will hold off as long as possible to see if Palace come back with another bid?
