Matthew Le God Posted 5 June, 2017 Posted 5 June, 2017 Cheer up! ffs A replacement with very similar attributes to van Dijk is seemingly on his way... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zumjARF9IDk Today's Portuguese press... https://www.abola.pt/clubes/ver.aspx?t=4&id=675927 ......... Liverpool have an annual income 3x that of Southampton, are able to offer £200k p/w wages and Champions League football. Delusional to think a players head wouldn't be turned. It is better for Saints to have players like van Dijk or Mane for two years than not at all. Only a handful of clubs in world football aren't "selling clubs", it is delusional to think Saints will ever be in that elite. Nothing wrong with our position as one of the best clubs for 20 - 25 years olds to join before moving on to some of the richest clubs in the world.
Mr Saints Posted 5 June, 2017 Posted 5 June, 2017 Dress it up all you want, we are the dictionary definition of a "selling club". Most fans can tolerate it for a few years but it's getting tiresome now and will probably end up backfiring on us.

Some seemingly big competition for him, but we normally ramp up targets when we have an outgoing forthcoming. I wonder if we will go for another centre-back too?
Wade Garrett Posted 5 June, 2017 Posted 5 June, 2017 I couldn't give a monkeys how much money he's been offered. He signed a 5 year deal and Ralph said we didn't have to sell this Summer.
Saint Albert Posted 5 June, 2017 Posted 5 June, 2017 Semedo's price may increase if the seller learns Saints are about to become £40-70 million richer.
Saint Billy Posted 5 June, 2017 Posted 5 June, 2017 I couldn't give a monkeys how much money he's been offered. He signed a 5 year deal and Ralph said we didn't have to sell this Summer. If that's good enough for you then it's good enough for me.
SuperSAINT Posted 5 June, 2017 Posted 5 June, 2017 I'd rather we kept him but i'm realistic enough to know that he'll probably take the move - would rather it was Barca, Munich or Real though. One injury away from never playing again etc. If we get £60m-£70m we could build an incredible team with that, plus the sales of Jay / Bertrand etc. If we do manage to get Tuchel and he persuades VVD to stay, it will really be party time on the south coast. We'd be in for an incredible season. Make TT an offer he can't refuse Lesley. We've been after Semedo for two years. That's two years of waiting / sorting a deal, tracking the player. This deal was pretty much done in Jan. Shame we could bring him in then but it wasn't to be. Never boring being a saints fan... Probably 2 of the most unlikely things ever! *Please be wrong* *Please be wrong*
Saint Billy Posted 5 June, 2017 Posted 5 June, 2017 Dodgy. I was being a bit sarci tbh I think Virgil will jump for the money.

I trust youre not basing that on your silly little computer game. How many times have you watched him play?
Toon Saint Posted 5 June, 2017 Posted 5 June, 2017 He's 23 and not been a first team regular in a very average Sporting team. Hardly fills me with confidence. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Heisenberg Posted 5 June, 2017 Posted 5 June, 2017 MLG is a troll. Best to ignore, he would have watched Semedo zero times I guarantee As for Semedo well the Sporting manager and fans don't seem to rate him much and the 50% sell on clause wont be to LLLs liking. Strikes me as another big gamble and could easily go same way as Hojberg, Ramirez and Boufal
James Posted 5 June, 2017 Posted 5 June, 2017 He's 23 and not been a first team regular in a very average Sporting team. Hardly fills me with confidence. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Is a bit concerning that he isn't a regular. Anyone know what calibre of player he's up against for a starting spot?
sandwichsaint Posted 5 June, 2017 Posted 5 June, 2017 Is a bit concerning that he isn't a regular. Anyone know what calibre of player he's up against for a starting spot? Yoshida and Stephens, let's hope he gets-up-to-speed PDQ.
doddisalegend Posted 5 June, 2017 Posted 5 June, 2017 Very similar attributes? I trust youre not basing that on your silly little computer game. How many times have you watched him play? I think he meant tall, coloured and has funky hair....
The9 Posted 5 June, 2017 Posted 5 June, 2017 could easily go same way as Hojberg, Ramirez and Boufal Nothing like jumping the gun on players we've signed to develop. Now if you'd said Ramirez, Juanmi and Forren...
Toadhall Saint Posted 5 June, 2017 Posted 5 June, 2017 I think he meant tall, coloured and has funky hair.... Coloured? Blue? Red?
Pamplemousse Posted 5 June, 2017 Posted 5 June, 2017 Is a bit concerning that he isn't a regular. Anyone know what calibre of player he's up against for a starting spot? I know a Sporting fan, apparently Semedo lacks intelligence. He's looking forward to seeing him leave.
patred44 Posted 5 June, 2017 Posted 5 June, 2017 I know a Sporting fan, apparently Semedo lacks intelligence. He's looking forward to seeing him leave. he'll fit in well at this club
Dellman Posted 5 June, 2017 Posted 5 June, 2017 Nothing like jumping the gun on players we've signed to develop. Now if you'd said Ramirez, Juanmi and Forren... Juanmi has done well since leaving us
ally_uk Posted 5 June, 2017 Posted 5 June, 2017 Show some ambition Saints! Sick of being Liverpool's feeder club. Keep Virgil and sign Semendo / Sahko. Get that German mush in as gaffer And march on!
Lorne Malvo Posted 6 June, 2017 Posted 6 June, 2017 Quality on FM17 ...thats all I know of this guy. Looks like a typical Saints signing. Price isn't too bad either.
The9 Posted 6 June, 2017 Posted 6 June, 2017 Juanmi has done well since leaving us And he did well before joining us. Some younger players just can't settle in a different country to be able to give their best.
Greenridge Posted 6 June, 2017 Posted 6 June, 2017 And he did well before joining us. Some younger players just can't settle in a different country to be able to give their best. If he had been given a chance we might be better placed to judge him. Hardly had a sniff here.
The9 Posted 6 June, 2017 Posted 6 June, 2017 If he had been given a chance we might be better placed to judge him. Hardly had a sniff here. Fair point - can only assume that as with Forren (and Gardos since his injury) that he wasn't showing enough to justify a place to begin with. Would have been interesting to see if he'd got more games this season with the pile of fixtures and the evident lack of goalscorer given that the YouTubes suggested he could play as a deep lying striker breaking through the defensive line as much as a playmaker, but we'll never know.
Danbert Posted 6 June, 2017 Posted 6 June, 2017 What is it with you muppets being so rude to someone making a series of perfectly valid points. I'd say he's similar in that he's clearly a big lad who likes to bring the ball forward, is comfortable with it at his feet and can pick a pass. He looks strong in the tackle too, and quick. Forren aside, we've done damn well bringing in center backs in recent years, I don't get where all the negativity is coming from.

SonicBoom Posted 6 June, 2017 Posted 6 June, 2017 I actually liked Gardos when he played. I'm surprised he hasn't been given more of a chance since he recovered from what was a horrible injury.
Danbert Posted 6 June, 2017 Posted 6 June, 2017 Gardos? True, I'd forgotten about him, but we've signed probably the two best center backs in the league in Alderweireld and Van Dyk.

Fabrice29 Posted 6 June, 2017 Posted 6 June, 2017 Not that he's credible particular but Tancreid Palmemememwhat ever his name is thinks he's close to Villarreal move.
Wimborne_saint Posted 6 June, 2017 Posted 6 June, 2017 He's joining Villarreal - quotes from him and photos of him at the airport floating about on twitter that confirm it. What a shame Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

SuperSAINT Posted 6 June, 2017 Posted 6 June, 2017 Do we now have your permission to be angry again MLG? Either we get very angry, or Semedo is the 2017 version of Astori.
vectraman Posted 6 June, 2017 Posted 6 June, 2017 Who cares? Can't get upset about someone I've never heard of, never seen, not joining Saints!! Will we ever sign someone I have heard of again..?
SKD Posted 6 June, 2017 Posted 6 June, 2017 First rejected by Wagner, now rejected by Semedo. Who's next... #wecrawlon
SuperSAINT Posted 6 June, 2017 Posted 6 June, 2017 First rejected by Wagner, now rejected by Semedo. Who's next... #wecrawlon Too busy d*cking around with the Claude situation. I've got no idea what we're doing.
