sheffield_dave Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I like him for that Iconic photo against the Blades..no runnin' around kissin' the badge...just sorta Knelt there ..you could see it really mattered.... I think that's one of the iconic images in Sheffield Wednesday history. I'm a big believer that "legend" status shouldn't be tied to player ability. I think Lee Bullen is very much a Wednesday legend despite not being on the same planet ability wise as Hirst, Waddle etc. Semedo isn't far off achieving the same, for me. That photo is absolutely his moment in the same way Bullen sat with the trophy and the Carlsbergs was his in 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshTheOwl Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Best photo ever. Semedo is a legend in my eyes - that video gives me goosebumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieB Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 He's been my favourite player since we signed him. I think my favourite player EVER to be honest, never thought I'd say that about a defensive midfielder He's a top man too, if only all footballers were like him.

SiJ Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I remember two or so seasons ago where we had people saying that he wasn't up to it. This was following our first match of the season against Derby away. Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semedo's ferret Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Semedo had some grief from the gobshiyt that sits behind me at beginning of season. Usual bile from the tool. He stopped slagging Semedo well before xmas after a few people got the hump with him, now Nuhui cops for his hatred. I'm beginning to think this guy could actually be Jihadi John. No one can hate a person this much surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tea Baggins Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 The Cardiff game was an example of what semedo offers. Breaks up play, is fit, strong and most of all doesn't fly in and pick up bookings. True, he doesn't offer much going forward but with McGugan in the team he can afford to do the dirty work and let McGugan do the playmaker role. I know this sounds like a veiled dig at Hutchinson but I love him too, I just think Semedo is more reliable in that holding position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earlsfieldowl Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 You have the give Semedo a lot of credit right now. Hutchinson came back from injury in January. Melo signed on deadline day, really highly thought of. But Jose's worked himself to first choice in that position. I've always liked him as a defensive midfielder, but i never thought he was capable of stepping up another gear at the age of 30. He's quality, and i hope he keeps it up for a few years to come. Be interesting to see what happens with Melo - not really featured so far and have a feeling he will go out an loan with a view to a permanent transfer next season. Don't think he was a Gray signing and not sure why he is here TBH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul.. Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Don't think he was a Gray signing and not sure why he is here TBH Because he's the kind of signing that moves our club onto the next level, he's of a good age, tall, strong, good tackler, excellent reader of the game, sharp across the ground to break up play, captain of a midtable Portuguese league team and had stand out games against a number of the bigger Portuguese teams. if he wasn't a Gray signing then Gray should not be in charge of recruitment. If true his cousin confirmed on Instagram that Gray signed him primarily with an eye to next season onwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorG Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 At Millwall I gave him MOM. He broke everything up and won the ball so many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will make a good pairing with Semedo next year. In my opinion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm loathe to give my thoughts as this is the pro-Semedo thread, and rightly so he deserves praise, however, longer term, assuming we sign McGugan (or a forward thinking AM of his ilk) I can see Melo and McGugan being the midfield 2 when we're playing two central with Semedo on the bench to be brought on in classic Mourihno/Obi Mikel style in the latter stages to help us close up the game, and/or for those matches where we go with a central 3 it'd then be McGugan/Melo/Semedo.

Buxtongent Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Have always admired Semedo for his work rate and for his reading fn the game. he seems to insinctively know when a threat is developing. One thing I always had against Semi was that his final pass always seemed to be sideways and not forward.During the last couple of home games (I can't get to aways unfortunately) he seems to have developed a moore attacking side to his game, undoubtably inspired by McGugan. This I feel is good. Showing my age, I feel that Semedo is developing into a form of of one of my all-time favourites and a great servant - Gerry Young. This I can only applaud.

Carl Shutt is God Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) Love the guy. Great attitude. Has worked hard to become a very important member of the first 11 in the championship despite looking like it could be a level too high early on.

SallyCinnamon Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Last season and the start of this season I was really worried he wasn't good enough for this level and was too limited, I was worried because I love the man so much I didn't want to see him leave. But this season he has really stepped up to the plate and been so so important for us. First name on the teamsheet at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
