Hes dependable, motivated and good to be around even when not getting game time so as long as it's not breaking the bank seems solid decision to me. But it that's different to being excited by the prospect of him re-signing like I was excited by FF joining or Westwood re-signing. But to progress we need a mixture of components and he seems to be one of them. cheers pal. Some on here are like tennis fans. Wet there pants at anything before understanding what I mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 He's crap, a league 1 player, not good enough to be where we wanna go. if he's any self respect he'll move on and get game time instead of being a celebrity cheerleader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I believe we have a few Portuguese lads earmarked for the academy, so as I said earlier, he could have a role as a mentor for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEdwards Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Don't understand why anyone has brought Chansiri into it I'm sure the decision on which playing staff get new contracts will be made by Carlos. Can't see him playing much but as others have stated there may well be other roles in mind for him (mentoring the portugeezers, keep him on while he starts doing his coaching badges) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If purely as a player then sorry this is a bad move for me. Nowhere near good enough in the games last season. Yes I know people will say he is 'Good in the dressing room' and maybe this would help him get a contract if it was a borderline decision but is well short of what we need on the pitch next season even as a squad player. Dont forget we cant use the emergency loan system next season so if we get a few injuries at least we know we've got a player who can come in and do a job, even if its just to have him on the bench. Would rather have semedo there just in case rather than rely on someone from the development squad. Yes we know we need better and im sure the management will get better players in but having a player like semedo in the squad who seems to have a positive impact on morale and surely isnt on huge wages seems like a good move by the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etchesketch Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 People are mentioning coaching roles all the time for Semedo as though he is a veteran at the end of his career. He is only 31-same as Wallace and younger than Loovens,Westwood and Sougou. I'm sure he'll want to carry on for a lot longer but if he were to do a bit of mentoring then great but I think he might do that already with the younger players.

Beholder Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Surely Jose will know he will only feature in dead rubbers and cup games against league 1 sides. Will depend on whether he's happy to continue this role at the club. Obviously he is loved in the dressing room and Carlos knows his attitude is infectious and that is why he has been offered a new contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelcityowlsfan Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 If we were still under Milan and had a limited budget I could understand the negative comments about the offer but we are not. Carlos want's him around in some capacity and why should we question a guy who took us to within 1 game of the Premier league? Re-signing Semedo will have no effect on our summer transfer activity and the fans love him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asteener1867 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Perplexing how folk neg away when his playing prowess is brought into question. Lets be honest , if Semedo is going to play a major part in the playing side, we aren't going up are we? He's been a great servant...I admire what he has done immensely...As a player though, he's not going to add a lot to the future..Same as Chris Waddle or David Hirst..or Mark Bright..or f.ookin' Redfearn Froggatt. I mean..lets all post our "Sentimental 11"...I guarantee it wouldn't go up next year. I hope its a coaching role, and I hope its been done on merit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james o connor Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) Unless he's going to pack in and become a coach it's a waste of money as carling cup aside should be no where near our first team. Edited June 8, 2016 by james o connor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I think someone recognises that when you have a tight-knit group of players who work hard for each other, and you stand by them, it's worth loads back in committment to the cause. Just a good example of great management all way round. When you have a happy family, and you can carry the cost, why break up the family. Excellent stewardship.

Oh come on Simon..Its bloody football...You telling me the squad is being picked on "How well they all get on"? I presume Carlos has seen a future coaching role for Jose...I honestly can't see him choosing him for what he will add to the team otherwise. Every footballer reaches the point where they don't make the team, every bloody PERSON reaches that point. I'd clap Semedo on if he came back with the f.ookin' Blavdes....but its history mate...

PeteG_1984 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I get the feeling Semedo staying is more thinking with the heart and not the head. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
