Although I really like Semenyo as a player, signing players for big money with four years left on their contract is not usually a smart business move.
We need to be going for an experienced , proven rock for our 6 if we are serious about the PL , and CL especially .
Anything else is just airbrushing how serious we are as a club , kids won't work .

Compared to a player you clearly know virtually nothing about.
Convincing analysis, mate.
Yeah, I don't think Bissouma was out of position.. more so that he or any DM we played last year was asked to do an impossible task. Bissouma in a normal midfield setup was the player we were all thrilled we were buying from Brighton.
Some gossip from my mate at the rags. Don't be surprised if Spurs bring in Kyle Walker (the old one, not peters) as some experienced legs for our Champions League squad. His agent is desperate to get him back at Spurs and thinks his similar attributes to Porro would make for perfect rotation.
If he joins, I'd expect his hamstrings to explode on his debut.

Your mate may need to get with the times… he’s already agreed a move to Everton!

Not a done deal yet.
Johnson did play on the left a few times the first year he arrived here. I still remember he crossed the ball for Kulu to score against city to make it 3-3.Since when has Brennan Johnson been a left winger?
As you say when fit... His ankles take a battering each match so it's unlikely we can expect 45+ games from him..
It's a shame but he needs to do something to make his legs stronger so he doesn't keep ending up being injured.
He really adds an extra dimension to our play, and I wish we had more suitable cover for him.
Even if not a direct cover for Madders, we need technical players supremely confident and composed on the ball. I think losing it so easily from attacking positions has cost us dearly both in attacking and getting attacks sprung on us.
Semenyo has a good work ethic and is a lively fucker, but I worry about his actual productivity.
Similar attributes? One is fast (or used to be) the other is not. One has great technical ability, the other does not. One can whip in a great cross, the other cannot. One is (or was) a fantastic one on one defender, the other is not.
They are both prone to losing their minds and their man at the back post, so maybe that's what your man is referring to.
Yes, they can.
I'd guess if he's available for free and would take a modest salary - it wouldn't be the worse idea. Know's the champions league. But at 35 have his legs gone?
We clearly need 2 full backs - Davies and Spence aren't really of the quality required. Udogie is injury prone and Porro can't play 60 games next season.
If Spurs don't have much money to spend in this window - Loans / free transfers may dominate our business.
Sesko will cost 70m. He’s not worth close to that. Tel will score more goals than Sesko this season if he comes to the PL

Levy really has brainwashed this fan base hasn't he.
A deluxe Defoe is a pretty fucking good striker.
Especially as a Solanke rotation striker.
Never seen him play and wasn’t inspired by the name but if we can turn profit on selling Richy and signing Deluxe Defoe to rotate Solanke, that’s not bad
Are you on his payroll? Or you're in love with him?
Like I said, hope he does, course I do...but he showed nothing even remotely special last season.
So excuse me if as of right now I still trust Bayern's judgment over yours.
