robinforlife2 Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) 8m could seem very big in the summer, with 12 months left and the option to talk to foreign clubs in another 6 months. Not sure how much we are holding out for, but I would imagine the 8m included add ons and it'll be interesting if they come back with an improved offer. I would say 10m, plus another 1m if they stay up, and percentage of profit clause on his future transfer, would be enough to swing it.

Taz Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 If the £8m bid is true, I would imagine it wouldn't take much more for is to accept. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously think that if it’s a PL club coming in for him, which Bournemouth are, then it’s £15m initial fee, and lots of add-ons. He’s a striker, they come at a premium, and at 23 has serious upside. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won’t be a minimal fee in the summer imho. It’s beyond the summer window his value really drops off. If he scores 8-10 between now and the end of the season, his value could go up too. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would personally had taken the £8m, if it included add ons. He may be in form now, but I think it's cause he is playing for a move, we saw how he went missing not wanting to get hurt prior to the world cup, and I feel if he is still here in Feb, he could easily go missing again and angle for a move in the summer, when he has 12 months left.

Negan Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 I think we’ll hold out for 12m with bonuses if they stay up. Surely we can get 3/4 added on for that clause? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshtonRobin21 Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 It will be interesting to see the players response to this. Im not doubting his character at all, but players can be the driving force these days. Knowing a Prem club has come in for you could be a distraction. Lets hope Semenyo is happy to let his football do the talking and keep up his brilliant form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but if he doesn't get sold and we end up with a Maynard or Famara situation, then the club can only blame themselves. I can understand holding out for decent money for Scott, and it's likely Scott, Conway and Pring will end up players who could earn us big money with the length of contracts, but we are playing Russian roulette with a player who can be replaced easily enough and £8m would go a long way to helping us bring in players in areas we need.

NcnsBcfc Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) As a possible starting offer , I don't think £8m is a bad opening gambit. If it was £4-6m, it would indicate that we are a very long way apart in our valuations If they were to raise it to £10m+, then I think serious discussions would probably start. It certainly shows a bit more intent on Bournemouth's part, than words/speculation on Social media. I wouldn't dismiss their interest out of hand. If he is going (and of course he won't sign that new contract). We need to manage this situation, so we don't end up losing him on Jan 29th; and rushing through an emergency replacement. I would say "Many thanks for the offer, not quite there at the moment, but let's stay in touch" Edited January 19, 2023 by NcnsBcfc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s your opinion, which of course you’re entitled to. I saw it more as a player struggling for form / consistency, coming off the back of a shin-operation, trying to get used to playing with players he’s rarely played with (Conway or Wells). I saw games where he looked “at it” and games where he struggled. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the risk of injury to consider, if he gets a nasty injury on Saturday then both Antoine and City lose out. If something close by the weekend then he may sit out against Blackburn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dredd Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 It's an odd move for the player. Yes it's a big salary but Bournemouth look in real danger of being back here next season. Depends on ambition I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) £8m pfft! Sure keep channels open, if they come back with better offers absolutely but £8m?? Come on! I understand clubs will low ball as Adams and Birmingham in 2019 but that's a bit of an insult.

samo II Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 Any similar moves in recent years as benchmarks? 10m with add ons seems like what I would expect, but maybe I’m behind the times and that’s not enough for a player of his age and potential.

Depends on ambition I guess Imho for him it’s a step up in quality and if he does well it’s a stepping stone to bigger things. Like Bobby at Cardiff. And it’s good for us as well re sell ons hopefully. If he produces (big if granted). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) Southampton fans albeit a tiny sample size don't seem wildly enthusiastic about him either. In fairness I guess they are also looking at the short term 'Get someone in with experience and or who knows the League, survive now and look at options later. Selling to Bournemouth would only enhance their chances of yoyoing back if as looks likely they drop back.

Hazelboy Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 In regards to Bournemouth & Southampton fans not being keen, how would we feel if we were linked with someone for that much money, with the goal scoring record he has? Purely looking at stats it’s understandable they’re a little bit miffed!! In reality, he is worth the £12-15m we’re holding out for, as the stats don’t even begin to tell the story!
