Offside Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 Gutted that he’s gone. With his pace and power he’s such an exciting player. But this is the way things are for us at the moment and at least it eases some financial pressure. Best wishes Antoine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of building a team around our best players, we just let them go.

Think we'd all like to keep our better players, but we can't pay the wages of the other teams that already have top-flight money, and we need the transfer income to hopefully stay within FFP rules, add in the ambitions of players who want to further their careers and it's a blessing that we have staff at an executive level who can sell players at a fair price. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) It's a shame but we probably knew it was coming sooner or later. Enjoyed watching him develop, enjoyed watching him come back to form this season after some of his mid-season struggles- resilience too arguably when he had his several months out last season but was so productive from Huddersfield at home onwards last season- played himself back into form with the little burst from Coventry away to Blackburn at home. Wish Antoine well- slightly disappointed wasn't Crystal Palace or even someone like Brentford tbh! Bournemouth again.

AppyDAZE Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 Ironic that we have to sell to satisfy FFP when the club signing him didn't give a toss about it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semenyo showed no interest in signing a new contract. Absolutely zero and why would he when he could get 40-50k a week at a prem club? We had no choice but to sell. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgy Red Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 Really disappointed to see him leave but it makes complete sense. A decent fee which releases FFP pressure and allows us to bring 1 or 2 fresh faces in. We are going to miss his power and direct running, as we don't have anyone else who offers that. I hope he does well for Bournemouth and helps to keep them in The Prem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brent Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 I’d be disappointed if there’s any anger towards the club or player. Good luck to the bloke. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent numbers once goals and assists factored- games of course will include sub appearances! Still think £9m if correct as an upfront fee a bit light but perhaps it was the best offer.

You haven’t been paying attention now have you? We all sympathise with this sentiment but realistically when Premier league zillions come knocking whose going to say ‘ no, ta’ ? If Uncle Steve trousers the lot then we can have a moan but a lot of this cash will be ploughed back into the squad and giving us breathing space for the future. I suspect you’re on a wind up , if not then there really is no hope for you. Edited January 27, 2023 by Major Isewater 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will b11 Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 Was speaking to a close friend of semenyo today, apparently he wanted palace but the club had the final choice and they chose Bournemouth due to them providing the better offer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
