Morepork Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I'm pleased to report a thorough scouting has been undertaken. Now the news is mixed, on the positive side he's a decent Premier League signing, the downside is he has no interest in the loan......we move on. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woozie Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) Semedo's been training with Vitoria Setubal. He's probably put in a good word for us. Edited August 15, 2017 by Woozie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Does seem strange them willing to loan out their captain. I guess when a club as massive as Wednesday come calling you have no option though :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronio Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Great news. Could very well turn out to be a cracking signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) Now let's get that pacey winger, possibly also a midfield beast and really get our season started. Edited August 15, 2017 by WalthamOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess when a club as massive as Wednesday come calling you have no option though :-) See the translation from the post on the club website (6 posts up). The player clearly wanted to play in England so rather than stand in his way they got him to sign up for another 3 years so that after his season with us either they get him back or they can be sure he will command a hefty fee if he is a success here and we want to exercise our option to buy. Good business on their part. And the arrangement suits us right now so it's a win-win. Edited August 15, 2017 by dmw clarification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shandypants Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 1 hour ago, S36 OWL said: From that I think we can describe him as an old fashioned, no nonsense, British style centre-half. He's not cultured; it's just "win it then get rid". One good pass there. The rest were either put in the stands, knocked short to a team mate or booted long from back to front. He's no Emerson Thome but he looks defensively sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigash_swfc Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) He looks physically stronger than Sasso, taller than Pudil and fingers crossed he's less prone to injury than Loovens Edited August 15, 2017 by bigash_swfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a full Portuguese international striker who isn't up to this level so I'm not convinced. Whelmed under. Almost as Bad as Vince Cable eh Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feelthepayne Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Round and around and around and around we go We've looked at 200 centre backs you know not really sure how to feel about you something off about this move Makes me feel like i cant live with Daniel at Fulham away Ooooo Fredericooooooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a much needed defensive addition and will be getting 100% backing on the pitch from me while he's here. Little to go on, a gnats over 6' aged 24 not carrying any flab. Playing easiest position on the pitch lets see how he copes. If he has owt about him he'll be fine ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morepork Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Happy to see where this one takes us, would still expect us to be looking to strengthen further at CB. Minor gripe that it's announced on the Vitoria Futebol website but nothing from the Owls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls77 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 At last a centre back, fingers crossed we have signed a Portuguese footballer that will be a success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
