Ellis Rimmer Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Based on Lavery getting offered one, I reckon it'll be a pretty poor contract that the likes of Maguire was offered last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Carlos and Lee Bullen have said it on a number of occasions. Are they lying?

However, if Semedo is happy not playing first team football, Carlos is happy with him in the dressing room and Chansiri happy with paying for this then I for one am thoroughly pleased for the lad. The Lavery and Price ones seem a bit odd though, hope it doesn't mean Westwood is on his way Semedo hasn't accepted the offer yet, has he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could win leagues or promotions elsewhere and come back with open arms when his career ends. If he just drifts about here not playing he will regret it in later life. I call on the club to do the decent thing, you have no intention of playing the guy, let him go and play football. Offering him him a new deal is like offer a drink to an alcoholic, you know he will take it and you know you shouldn't do it. Absolute top quality guy in every way but this is isn't right. He doesn't have to sign a new deal. I'm sure he's perfectly capable of making his own decision as to what he wants to do with his career. He will be well aware of what his role would be if he was to sign. The responses in this thread are flipping funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ain't it liberating Andy being able to leave the football decisions to those doing a cracking job in general, and not worry too much about those decisions? Admittedly, it leaves nowt for us to do on here during summer apart from mow our lawns, but that's great isn't it? Might be bringing in some more Joao-types, young kids from Portugal, for Semedo to take under his wings, we don't know. Just let them get on with it. Won't be long before we bring in some new big guns anyhow. Enjoying being a Happy Clapper btw. Very therapeutic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Toni Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I'll admit I was surprised but Semedo must be on pennies compared to some of the others at the club so to still have him in and around the dressing room is good business if he's then introduced into the coaching set-up with some of the younger lads. If there isn't going to be a coaching element involved in the new deal then it's one you have to maybe doubt the worthiness of?! Love the guy but clearly won't have a massive part to play on the pitch next season if this season is anything to go by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelcityowlsfan Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 If we had signed Turner on a permanent contract I Would have been upset because he'll probably be on much higher wages than the contract offers to Semedo. Couple that with the fact we will more than likely sell McGugan it will offset any wages. It's really not a big deal. Cant understand the fuss. We will still have our summer targets and wether Semi signs or not will not change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Expected him to be released, but pleased with this in a way, still a competent squad player and apparently has a positive effect in the dressing room, which I am sure contributed to the team spirit which made last season possible. OK, he is not going to play many games but can be a role model for younger players, available to do a job when needed and lets be fair, now we have proper financial backing, his wage is not going to restrict us improving the squad in other areas.

Animis Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 If he and and team mates were reading this it would be a bit embarrassing. At 31 or whatever he is, we're effectively saying his playing days are finished, but he should hang around a cheer the lads on. Whilst he's clearly loyal and a fan of the club, he surely can't consider writing off his playing career so soon can he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are going to improve next season he'll surely play even less. If he signs again it's because he's happy playing second fiddle. That would suggest he's not fussed about prolonging his playing days which is a strange one really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hirstysboots Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 The way some people are reacting you'd think we'd offered Darren Potter a new contract! People seem to be overlooking something; we have a very raw, young Portugeses talent who is a potentially brilliant player. He has been mentored and nurtured by Semedo and still needs looking after. Why not retain him in the playing squad so he can carry on looking after Joao? The whole thing makes perfect sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcityowlsfan Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 And with no emergency loan it makes sense to have 3rd and even 4th choice players. You never know when injuries and suspensions will take their toll. Smart move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Joao's progress go backwards though the longer the season progressed? Don't get me wrong, I want Joao to stay and progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
