Telegraph says he's staying at Blackburn, their asking price is £20m. https://twitter.com/mcgrathmike/status/1565406345670582273?s=20&t=dT_dEBhzUd18nQ1XiWgV9Q Hope that means they see a £20m dip into the Champ a bit too rich.

Denbury Red Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 Talk Sport have just reported Bournemouth are after Nathan Redmond from Southampton. So hopefully they are successful and that finished their interest in Semenyo!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshtonRobin21 Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 I've been fairly relaxed all day. My only concern currently, is that Leeds seem to be scrambling to try and sign a striker. Current target is Piroe (Swansea). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSSEL85 Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 It’s Leeds who would worry me tonight, seem desperate for a striker. Dan James is hardly the answer for them, he is a slight upgrade on COD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth the entrance fee alone . We should all be very very happy and support our squad to get into the top 6 . We are in it together . Stop moaning start supporting .

That is in cold cash terms, the nub of it. If rumours are to be believed, Blackburn rejected £12m for Diaz and us £10m for AS. At the £20m bandied around buyers feel they can do better. Very happy ours are staying, but the issue down the road will be getting top dollar at the stage they want to move. Everything at the moment suggests they want to stay for now, which is great news.

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) Brereton-Diaz is a year further on remember, maybe worth comparing both at 21 into 22, both at 22 into 23 and so on. He also got 20 in a season which automatically elevates him- not quite the same type of player, better availability than Semenyo and I'd be interested to know how many of his goals were penalties.

cidercity1987 Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 Well I am surprised no one came in for Semenyo at a figure we would trade at. I thought he would be bargain £15m-£20m for a midtable Prem team like Palace. Seems risky for us to keep him from an FFP perspective especially considering we have plenty of other decent strikers. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checked, last season Brereton-Diaz scored 4 penalties in the League. 4/22 were penalties. Think Blackburn got 6 or 7 in total in the League.

Great that it looks like we are keeping him! If he keeps fit there is no telling how many goals he can score this season - and that maybe worth significantly more than £15 or even £20m!!

Anyone buying Semenyo is not just buying him at his current status, but also buying future potential and the way he has come on over the last 2 years is pretty frightening. The kid is an absolute beast and so strong and quick, it's scary how good he can be. If they had a speed gun on that shot against Huddersfield he'd have got 12 points on his Licence.

Mihai Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 Do we have a chance to keep him all season ? If we go up do we have a chance to keep him next season ? May this season be the "one" ? That season when we go up despite no chances at the start ? Many teams did that with worse players than us today...Hull City in 2008, and Barsnley in playoff, Luton in playoffs..I mean the league is unpredictable. If we keep the good spirit, I may sound crazy but we can make it somehow. Some luck...some nice form and keeping the best players. This winter will be huge if we will be top 6. Semenyo will go 20+ for sure, I am sure wells will be 10 goals at least. We have one of the good attacking side in this League. With Kalas comming back and Atkinson growing same as Naismith with his crazy pases...we have a decent team. Hope we can keep Semenyo and sell him for 30+ ...that will fix our financial aspects and make us build a better team next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 He stayed, was retained as IMO was always likely. January is another matter, post WC splurges on breakout stars are usually in the summer. This is a year like no other, but until then let's enjoy him and his talents. If he scores or is bright at the WC that'll increase both his exposure and his value. January is January, let's just enjoy the excellent young talent he is right now.
