I bet a lot of Bolton fans in the early nineties never thought they have the likes of Campo, Akotcha, Anelka etc playing for them. It was a good, hard to beat side with a sprinkling of star quality.

Semedo came from Barca too and is perceived as the better player in his peak years but he hasn't exactly set the world alight at Wolves. I think as long as the price is right, well worth a punt. I think Semedo has done ok really, Wolves fans seem to like him. Don't think he was worth that £35m fee, but he's clearly a very good PL right back imo. If Firpo is half as capable then we're sorted.

How accurate that is who knows, but with him having four years left on his contract and him being one of the best left backs in Ligue 1 this season, they will try to drive a hard bargain. You have to wonder though how cash strapped teams are and if they can turn down even half decent offers. If you have money this summer it could go a long way. Maybe this is the summer to spend if you want to make a step change improvement. Edited 4 June, 2021 by Chez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to say the same thing about the height, but perhaps we have been scarred by Cedric (same height by the way) not leaning into opponents and doing enough to put them off. I notice from the youtube video that he doesn't mind pinging it long down the channel for willing runner. I wonder if that will knocked out of him, if he joins.

The way I read that, the club doesn't want to loan, it wants to sell. I actually quite liked what I saw and didn't really understand the hate. Seemed neat and tidy on the ball, just needed a run in the side to find his feet and role...but I guess he just didn't impact the game enough in the games he got so didn't deserve more game time. Redmond to Palace. About time the forum got another rumour started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks a little stockier than Cedric perhaps, with a little more bite, but not as quick. If he was £5m like Cedric, I think you might be interested, seeing as we need a couple of players. It would be great to see youtube videos of players fucks ups too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tajjuk Posted 5 June, 2021 Share Posted 5 June, 2021 I'm pretty sure Josh King hasn't scored in the league for like well over a year, he didn't score in the first half of the championship for Bournemouth so it was baffling he got a move to Everton, where he also didn't score (though barely played), plus he's 29. Adams is 5 years younger and just had a season with 9 goals and 5 assists in the PL, not sure how that is even a competition. Plus I think there is more to come from Adams next year I reckon, could see him getting 12 or so with again 5 or 6 assists. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
