Guest shakesby Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Probably the same person who turned a million down for Nuhui. Gross misconduct at least I don't believe for a second we were offered a million. That's crazy money. We only received just over that for Antonio. If it was, say, 500k, I'd say it's probably best not to have sold him. But if it was actually £1m British queens standard cash for him, with no future payments, it's absolutely inexplicable.

Guest Strap Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I'm not too bothered about Semedo, we should be trying to get a better standard of player in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcx666 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Keep, even for another year as a squad player. We've played better this year with him in the team, he loves it here and is respected, and can do a job here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue and white Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Honestly think tomorrow is the last time we will see the vast majority of of the current bunch at Hillsborough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clud17 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 We need to retain some players who understand Sheffield Wednesday. Semedo knows what we are and has done for a long time. The dressing room needs players like him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airborne_rat_of_s6 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 You propose we keep 3 first team players- meaning that we'll have to realistically sign a minimum of 15 more to get a squad of 18 that'd be decent for the Championship. Signing 15 players in one transfer window is just asking for a disaster. This squad has finished mid-table in the Championship, it makes quite literally no sense to gut that squad and sign 15 players, when we could get rid of the majority of out of contract players (say 8 of them) and make 10 signings while keeping the core of the squad. Mid-table squad gets improved and we don't spunk money away signing an inordinate number of players that'll take an age to gel and actually look like a team.

JoshTheOwl Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 If Semedo doesn't get a new contract I'll be writing a strongly worded letter to the club. I'll be calling for Gray to be sacked. Semedo is a class act, absolutely loves this club to pieces. That video when he said swfc is my home made my skin shiver, top bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlinexile Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Semedo has been written off by fans every transfer window since he signed. Every time he has fought his way back into the team and shown why he deserves his place there. We'd be daft to get rid of him now just for the sake of it.

pickledegghiderman Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I think not offering semedo at least another year would be a huge mistake. Anyone saying things like " we need better to progress" probably don't realise the effect of having someone like semedo at the club. To get anywhere in this league you need a squad of players capable of cutting it in this division, not just a strong starting 11. Semedo has proved more than capable of being a capable championship midfielder, opposition teams must hate playing against him. Any new signings coming into the club would surely benefit from having a player like him in and around the first team squad. As far as I'm concerned semedo is MR SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY. Loves the club, loves the fans and loves living in Sheffield. How many other players can we say that about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldishowl Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Quality is only one of things needed to win . You need a team full of players willing to take responsibility, players willing to stand up and not shrink when the going gets tough. Basically a team full of leaders. Sometimes we have struggled to find a decent captain during our lean years because we had no leaders. Semedo does these things and if Gray knows what he is doing he will keep him and make a similar attitude a key req of new signings. We need to stop being shrinking violets and get on with the bullying. How many leaders did our team of the early 90's have. Alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesWalker Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Absolute no brainer this one. With the unreliability of Hutchinson and Melo still to settle in fully we'll need Semedo again next year without a doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItzzOwl Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Semedo has to be here next season, without a doubt. Had an amazing season till his injury, would be daft to get rid of one of our most consistent, better players, who's a fans favourite, and also bleeds blue and white! He's magic you know, you'll never replace semedo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUMBELOWS91 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Hopefully we wont recognise next seasons team from the present one apart from maybe:- Westwood Lees Lee Personally I think this would be a terrible mistake. There's a lot right about this season- obviously mainly from a defensive point of view. Would be happy to keep 75% of this squad together if we added 3/4 guaranteed attack minded first teamers of real quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 My midfield concerns revolve around Hutch. More so for him. When his contract finishes here, I wonder who else will gamble on him with his injury record. Hope he gets another deal somwhere, but it will take someone brave enough to gamble like we did. Can see him back at Chelsea helping coach the kids or summat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBoyBeevers Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 In what is bound to be 24 months of pretty intense player recruitment, it's players like Semedo who you need to keep- committed, honest, good enough to be in a squad at this level and a bit of a leader. There are plenty of players we need to jettison, but he isn't one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
