M.D Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 1 hour ago, City oz said: Semenyo signed a four- year contract in September 2020 so if he did go how what impact if any would there be contractually ? If the club gets 5M for him then best let him go. He is good but not consistent. 5M could bring in a player that would fit NP.s long term plan. I do not think we will get relegated this season if NP has some leverage and some money to spend. I maybe wrong but I thought his contract runs out at the end of this season but with a year extension the club can exorcise? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People say all sorts of nonsense on forums but anyone who seriously thinks the club would sell a striker who was 23 yesterday, so has his best years ahead of him & just featured at the World Cup, for £3m is absolutely deluded. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 8 hours ago, Mr Popodopolous said: On the Lowe front, seems to be linked with loan moves to Coventry, QPR, Sunderland. All seem better placed than us although I guess bargaining chip as others say if Bournemouth want to do business. I’m not even convinced we would sign a striker if Semenyo left. Pearson talked about Wells, Conway, Weimann & Bell as his other strikers in the week & so unless we move Martin off the wage bill as well, my theory is we would use any space on the wage bill for a defender or a midfielder first. Obviously if this month sees a raft of departures then things change but at present it appears a centre back & an attacking midfielder are the priorities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve exercised it already. His contract now runs until 30th June 2024. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City oz Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 Just now, City oz said: well it is reported he is on 18K per week. His book value is only 2.5M. I think he is worth more and 5M would be good. My thoughts he is a good player but NP with hands tied needs funds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even allowing for annual increases / targets hit, e.g. appearances, I think £18k pm is more likely the figure. Even that might be a tad high. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like when a certain someone was confidently saying that Danny Simpson was on £15k a week with us. The same player who before us hadn’t had a club for 9 months, was 34 & training with Leicester’s U21s just to stay fit. So after looking to significantly reduce our wage bill by releasing 12 players we would then pay him that sort of money, more than Matty James, who was 29 & signed for us after a season where he played 40 Championship games on loan at Barnsley & Coventry. Ok then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Think Semenyo is probably the most likely, probably where we are weakest contractually but still commands a good fee and we already have an alternative in the building as we’d just go Wells/Conway up top with Weimann in behind them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Musicworks Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 The problem is that injuries (possibly Conway and Andi) can change the situation rapidly. Losing one or both for a few weeks or more makes selling Antoine a much bigger gamble. Hopefully both will be minor injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The powerful strong fast Antoine has disappeared. The present version seems to have his mind elsewhere..Although he has started scoring again which is a good sign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 I don’t think we should dismiss how much Martin did for him last year by taking the more physical defender off of him and allow him to concentrate on outmuscling the weaker defender(s). He’s taking the brunt of a lot of the physical stuff this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a couple of times yesterday where AS had his RCB isolated, but he chose to lay off the ball. Semenyo in his prime of last season, woild have looked to out muscle and out pace that defender without a second thought. Whether it's a confidence, or transfer issue; from a mental point of view he does look to be forceful in his approach this season so far.

Shame it had to be dismantled and, having been so, one of the reasons for this season's patchy form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
