Lord Northski Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 Strikes me that if they want us to accept a £12m for a £15m player, we could do that by them also providing us with a player they value at £5m.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People in all walks of life move to other parts of the country for work reasons indeed, some move to different continents! In this case Palace may be the right move for the player , if they are genuinely interested, I doubt location would be high on the list of deciding factors if he has more than one offer. Explain homesick Scots, then - we've had a few down the years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretSam Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 I have a feeling that Palace will be the one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 If the Palace offer is real I think the deal will be done. Pearson has always said he doesn’t want players at the club who don’t want to be here and I’m pretty sure Semenyo would be chomping at the bit to go to South London 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshtonRobin21 Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 IF the palace links are true (and reported bid) then it seems we are getting closer and closer to our valuation being met. The report says we value him at £15m and they have offered £12m. It would seem like a deal is likely to get done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure behind the scenes we would down the line of who we want to bring in. It would be interesting to know how it works . would we already be talking to players agents if they want to come here should we get the green light with Antoine ? im presuming something like that would happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I’m honest, I think it’s great money for him. Do I believe he is a £15m player currently? No. I think £10m would be fair, anything more is fantastic. But he certainly has the potential to be a £15m-£20m player within 2 years or less, and is starting to show his ability in recent weeks. My concern is that he blows hot and cold in spells, as seen at the start of this season. However, he is our second most valuable player in the squad, and the money must reflect his value to us on the pitch, and I’m glad we aren’t backing down to the Prem teams. The only factor that pushes me to think we will sell, is his contract length. We won’t get this money offered again in the summer. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's clearly a confidence player all he needed was a goal and it was pretty obvious he was going to go on a run. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Semenyo’s money we have an opportunity to strengthen in many ways. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
