Ivorguy Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 Realistically how much would you pay for him. I really am puzzled that clubs said to be interested rate him so highly. Please sell and get us a goal scoring centre forward to support Conway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leveller Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 Agree. His strong performances are very rare. I wouldn’t buy him at all at the moment. Can’t see him getting on the pitch for Palace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgy Red Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 Semenyo isn't great technically and his football intelligence needs work, but these are things that he can work and improve on. What he does have is pace and power and they are things that can't be taught. I really do think there is a good player in there and i would like to see him develop further with us, but he could be one we trade if the offer is right 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Robin Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 He's been playing poorly for a while: I don't know if his recovery from injury and the world cup distraction are playing a part in it, but his value is probably decreasing...and it's bad news for us. At the moment, if I were a PL club I wouldn' spend more than 7-8 millions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 I'm not convinced we'll get any hard bids but it's time to move him on. I don't know whether he's believed all the hype that surrounded him or not but his performances have lacked composure and been far short of the standards required. I'd be bringing Sam Bell on. He may not have the power of Semenyo but he's as quick and looks much more a natural goalscorer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out of his pie crust Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 At the moment, £4m feels about right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin_unreliant Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) I would like Bell to kick on too but realistically he hasn't really taken any of the chances he's had so far. TC really made an impression but Bell has been a bit anonymous when he's come on. I wonder if making him play at RWB before set him back from a confidence point of view.

Bris Red Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 An unpopular opinion maybe but i feel he has been vastly over-rated by many of our fanbase. I feel Conway is much the better prospect, he has everything for me and his footballing intelligence is far superior to Semenyo. I think if we can get anything over £3m for Semenyo we should be happy IMO. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Team Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 It’s not just disappointing on the pitch but also feels we should’ve perhaps sold him in August when the bigger offers were allegedly being made. Right now his stock seems relatively low. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is an international now so will want to regain that form. Certain we should wait until the summer to move him, and see if he can regain some form before the end of the season, as I don’t see any large bids coming in for him in Jan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our best asset, sadly don't think he will be with us much longer. 5 minutes ago, Bris Red said: An unpopular opinion maybe but i feel he has been vastly over-rated by many of our fanbase.

Very reactionary after a poor result (not just you but many others as well). £3m is peanuts for a modern striker who has just played in the World Cup. Semenyo has pace, power and is relatively new to the professional game. the lad is going to get better and better. If he was touted at £3m, half the Championship would put bids in never mind the likes of Palace. It does make me laugh though, if he scores a screamer v WBA, his value on here will be £50m again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 I don't know what has happened to the Semenyo of early 2021. He was absolutely fantastic and impossible to play against I think he has possibly tried to bulk up too much and that has affected his control, movement and pace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s an obvious solution for a cash-strapped club like us: sell Semenyo to the highest bidder, reinvest in our weakest areas. The problem we have IMO is Semenyo’s gone massively off the boil with the distraction of the World Cup. He thinks he’s better than he is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lack of Action Man Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 For me, if we get anywhere near £5million then it’s sell, sell, sell! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 I think, irrespective of what your value of him is, the undoubted fact is that Antoine is playing below his ceiling now. Whether you think that he’s being played tactically wrong, or he’s playing within himself is the broader question. The player that destroyed teams like Cardiff last year is a £10m plus striker. The curent version is 1/3 at best of that. So, if you’re buying do you think it’s firm or attitude - and that drives the fee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe jordans teeth Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 Because of his age I would guess at 5 million,when you look around this league at others around his age he’s not nowhere near as good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a big bid to make the kind of squad changes required. £3m as suggested isn’t worth doing. You keep him, either get him to sign a new contract because interest has waned, or sell in the summer. In the meantime you try to get him firing again. He is an undoubted talent, but someone who’s come back from a “broken” shin (or akin to that)…and not playing with confidence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redrascal2 Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 I cannot see why anyone would be prepared to spend significant money for him at the moment. He couldn't score before the world cup, fluffed a good chance during the world cup and now he is back he looks as bad as before he went. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCGav Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 Mad to be writing him off! He’ll find his form again, get a run in the team and all will be fine. He’s a very talented player. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marina's Rolls Royce Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 Nakhi Wells last season ? Maybe nothing. Pring last season? Maybe nothing. The manager has now seen fit to play both and they are valuable players. Perhaps a new manager gets to utilise Semenyo who is a very very good player and his value is double or treble to what it is now under Nige. IMO.

In fairness to Sam Bell, he’s either been played at RWB (he’s not a defender) or come on for 5 mins or so as a kill a bit of time substitution. He needs a run of games, maybe a loan move would have been better from that perspective. Unless you’ve watched him in the U23s then I don’t anyone from a fans perspective can write him off.

Topper 123 Posted December 18, 2022 Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 (edited) The trouble is with our fans is a player has 2 good games and their world beaters , some times it’s down to management to drag those players in have a talk and get their feet back on the ground ,Semenyo has power and pace but lacks control both on the ball and off ,his direct running should cause more problems but he lacks a finish and until he gets the attitude right as well he’s not worth a **** to anyone but it’s not just him , we as fans bigged up massengo and for what ever reason ( poor management I would say ) the kids not worth a carrot and the same thing is going to happen to Alec Scott -so in my eyes it’s all down to the management Edited December 18, 2022 by Magger1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
