FlyingOwl 9,531 Posted June 3 (edited) It’s a no brainer from a business perspective. Anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves. To let him go means we’d have to replace him. Bare in mind that our other CDM’s are Sam Hutchinson who’s deal is also expiring and won’t be renewed...and Luongo who’s injury record speaks for itself. The club will be more aware than anyone as to how bad our financial situation is, the likelihood of a transfer ban (or even worse a points deduction) - and therefore how the land lies in terms of being able to sign players and of what standard in the next couple of seasons. Joey is cheap. Clean injury record. Keeps himself in good condition. Happy to be here. Seems like a good enough bloke around the club. Id have been shocked if he wasn’t offered a deal. It’s not ideal and I bloody hope he’s not a starter. I hope he’s a ‘just incase we need him’ filler player. I would much rather trust a youngster. BUT we’re not the club we were back in 2016. We’re really on dodgy ground and it’s gonna take a whole restructuring to get us back to where we were. All in all I think we’re gonna have to go backwards to go forwards, and accept that players like Joey are gonna be a part of that.

There’s people sat in the stand that would more than fulfill that profile, doesn’t mean we should start offering them contracts. The day you stop signing footballers for footballing reasons is the day you start sliding down the league. 22 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
domSWFC 3,526 Posted June 3 Could be a key figure in the dressing room next season. Just not as a player. Hopefully he can play the mop role better than the sweeper role. Good look Joey, keep it clean and tidy for the boys. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stoop 10,859 Posted June 3 Poor decision by the club. Can’t fault his attitude and work rate but in terms of being up the required standard for Championship football he’s way off 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FARGATEOWL 120 Posted June 3 Can't see what he brings to the side. But suppose he's cheap and usually fit but not something to lift our spirits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I personally think we are gonna start sliding down the league. I think we’re preparing for that. Need to start saying our goodbyes to our better players.

0114 2,702 Posted June 3 So much for Garry Monks “this club needs change” then ey. Can tell Joey is a good lad, always a tryer. But all in all he’s just not good enough for this level. Really disappointed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TrickyTrev 12,068 Posted June 3 I’d genuinely rather have given Semedo a new deal. Good behind the scenes but also (and more importantly) a much better player than Pelupessey. If ever there were any question marks over the direction of the club, they have been answered today. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
