Would be a good signing and thought there might be something in this, then I read we’re signing Van De Beek and zaha in the same link , so maybe not

Unfortunately this seems completely made up and they just tagged on 'Spurs are interested' to make it seem more credible. Zaha and van de Beek aren't happening.

It does seem he is available and there is interest from England and with Trippier off this makes a lot of sense. I think he is the player we hoped Aurier would be but isn’t.

I'm not so sure on his ability - watched his you tube compilation and wasn't that impressed. Looks a bit like Walker, perhaps?
I'd hope he has some end product before we commit to this one.

Very much like Walker with real searing pace but a better footballer

But second choice and being sold
Don't want to piss on any chips - I just wasn't impressed with the 7 mins highlights I saw...

Barca sold Maradona....But second choice and being sold

I think Semedo isn’t as good a footballer as Sergi but would suit our style of football much better than Sergi

In the dying minutes against Pool he had the ball on the wing and in his infinite wisdom chose to hit a high floated cross into the Liverpool box. And then he got the ball again and... did the same thing. I wanted to punch him in the face.
That's my review.
That's my review.

He's certainly got the defending bit down and can get back in time to defend. And can get you up the pitch like Walker...
Just concerned he has Walker's bad bits too - And we've "done that" to death with those sorts of fullbacks.

I know we are desparate for a right back but we should stay away from 2nd choices. Regardless of the team they played for.
We got burned by signing Aurier, we would be making the same mistake again.

Lucas was about 7th choice at PSG.
I think this is a foolish way to pick targets.
As with every situation like this, there are examples of it working (Lucas) and it not working (Aurier).
Ultimately it doesn't matter. Ok, he doesn't start for Barca, but is being second choice at Barca, worse than starting for Palace or Nice?

I’d take Walker with all his faults over both Trippier and Aurier every day of the week. If Semedo was just Walker I’d have him, I happen to think that when I’ve seen him he is a better footballer than Walker.

Missed the boat on Ricardo Perreira also.
Trippier was first choice RB at Burnley when we bought him.
I honestly think we should be going in strongly for AWB... Even at the quoted media price of 50 million we should make a serious play for him.
If Trippier is being sold then we recoup half our outlay for a younger more defensively sound RB. I know United are strongly linked but I honestly believe we can compete on the fee and offer a competitive wage, which whilst united will blow us out on but would be a substantial increase on what he currently earns...
Edit. See this is why we need a scouting thread in here.

We've got to bite the bullit on that one some day soon...
This guy, obnoxious as he undoubtably is, is part of the ecosystem. So Levy's just got to take a few deep breaths, hold his nose and get in there.
