Also interesting that Semenyo told Chelsea to get stuffed too.

I'm not saying he wouldn't have gone to City anyway as they are the most attractive option, but considering he's a gooner it's interesting that he told both Chelsea and us to get lost.

Seems he had no intention of playing for another London club other than Woolwich, unless he couldn't help it.

I don’t think being a gooner had anything to do with it. If we’d paid what Bournemouth asked for in the summer, he’d have joined us, no question. The problem is we wait too late on these players, we need to get them, at the very latest when they’re on the cusp of exploding, once they’ve exploded it’s already too late for us. It’s why I think this window is our last chance to get Ndiaye.

It’s not a loyalty thing, it’s purely the fact that he’s had the pick of every single top 6 club (bar the one he supports ironically) and has chosen the one with the best manager, best squad, wins the most trophies and pays the best wages.

If Marmoush, who joined City from Frankfurt, where he probably earned about £40k a week, is earning £300k a week at City despite them not really having any competition for his signature, then they’ll be paying Semenyo at least that, if not a bit more considering which other teams were in for him.

I was the same regarding Savinho in the summer. Now I think we dodged a very expensive bullet.

The only way I’d be interested in signing him now would be on a loan with a relatively cheap option (£40m max), purely because January is a difficult window to get good players in. Look at last year, our two targets were Tel and Kolo Muani, Levy and Lange made an absolute Roger Hunt of both deals, to the point Ange had to phone Tel and beg him to come. Both players have turned out to be absolutely shite for us, so I’m not expecting this window to be much different.

I don’t agree about us mainly targeting Premier League players though. I think we miss out on too many players from other leagues because of spending so much on Ndombele. This PL only approach has led us to overpaying for such worldbeaters as Brennan Johnson, Richarlison, Solanke & Kudus.

I never got the desperation for him in the summer now I definitely dont want him. Id rather try for Nidaye or Diomande. I also dont know why we didn't ask Real for conditions on Endrick loan.
