Dastardly and Muttley Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 I’m a bit worried that it’s gone quiet immediately after the report that Antoine will see out his contract. We can’t afford to let him go for nothing - even though 2 years is a long time in football and he might change his mind before then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad blit Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 What Pearson/Gregor/Gould says means nothing untill its all over. No manager will publicly come out saying someone can leave (unless they want them to) as clubs will make lower offers - hence the "£30 million" remark made by Pearson the other day was simply just him playing hardball with any potential suitors. Semenyo like any player, will have a value the club will see as "acceptable" and if this is met by a club then he will be sold. Multi million pounds deals are done right up to the last hour, and i have no doubt City will be prepared for every eventuality 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 Everton are pushing for Brereton-Diaz today so that makes Semenyo leaving less likely, one less club IMO. Plus think Brereton-Diaz is ahead of him in the striker pecking order so I'm not too worried about this window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks that way at the moment, didn't realise that Diaz had 15 caps for Chile. Evertons bid for Pedro (Watford) fell well short, they've already signed Maupay but want another. Fulham may go back in for him though and Celta Vigo were interested (don't think they can afford it). Diaz may not be facing us on Saturday.

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) We have our price I expect and I doubt anyone will bid that price that late in the day so he stays.

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 It would take stupid money for us to offload him or Scott or other jewels in the crown so late in the day. January is a new window, risk and opportunity (if we get fresh income) but we won't lose anyone important today. On the flipside, January is also the big hope for any of Webster, Kelly and Brownhill going in terms of us benefiting this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bournemouth will be a struggling team and down before the end of the season. There will be much better clubs in for him imo. Hopefully, not today.

We could afford his wages within FFP certainly, if we got a good fee for Semenyo, question is whether we would want to break any kind of wage structure to do so.
