Nelson Semedo

[Ernesto GOATverde Tejedor]

Him as a centreback looks as weird as Fati as a 9 to me. Both would have to bulk up a lot. Dont think thats easily possible. Abidal is pretty much the benchmark.

In a 2 yes. He could never play in a 2. In a 3 he could play easily with a little extra muscle. They should have thought of this in the summer. It's almost impossible to change mid season. Now we are left with a right back who isn't good enough to attack for Barca.

Almost conceded a goal after his failed clearance.

 

[FCMessi]

Aerials were never his forte.

Technical secretary Éric Abidal held a meeting with Nélson Semedo's agent Jorge Mendes recently to discuss the right-back's situation. Barça consider Sergi Roberto to be better and are open to selling Semedo for around 50 million euros. [sport]

What is funny?

 

[Porque]

Not opposed to selling him if 50m+ is the fee received. He is a very good player who in 3 seasons has shown he is not an undeniable starter (same category I have for Lenglet and guys before of the ilk of Alexis, Giuly, Belletti, Van Bommel- you get the idea).

He will show he is a great defensive FB in the EPL though- if indeed he goes there. But with Emersons emergence the smart money would be on having Sergi.R and Emerson next year with Semedo money reinvested into CB or Paulinho/Vidal midfield profile. Maybe throw in the signing of Yan Couto and RB is covered.

I guess it's not the end of the world if we sell him on and make 20m. profit or so. But the best thing imo would be to keep him 1 more season under a new manager. He's still young and we can sell him in 2021.

 

[mc_lovin]

If we can get 50-60ME for him in summer I would take the money and run. Another year here would only decrease his value. That depends a lot on Emerson though, no idea how much he can be trusted. Or if we find another talent.

Theres always talk about how a new manager improves certain players, but I dont think thats the case for Semedo. He is one of those guys who look quite talented, but simply dont have the gamesense of proper players (I heard he started football late? Could be a reason). Roberto+a fullback with potential sounds more reasonable to me then two guys who are roughly as good and wont become much better.

Abidal Denied any meeting with Mendez in Dubai about Semedo or anything else.

When news are fake the club seems to hurry debunking them

He is still transferable by the summer better solution for both sides, we need a better solution offensively and he needs a better play time

Lol. The club occasionally denies incorrect news about official things related to the club, not about the private lives of players.

 

[xXKonan]

I said before but if we sell Semedo, we won't spend big on getting an RB.

I can see like 10-15 of that fee going back into buying Emerson and buying another cheap prospect and the rest of the fee going into a bigger signing in another position such as the forward line. That's why I laugh at the Kimmich, Cancelo or insert any other big team RB links because it's wishful thinking at this point.

I could understand if Emerson wasn't doing very well at Betis but the way he's performing right now, the club will no doubt take a gamble on him.

Emerson is much more attacking than Semedo, I am interested

 

[Calidad]

Is Emerson even performing as well as Firpo was at Betis before his move? I’m not so sure.

If we sell Semedo, we will almost certainly NOT be replacing him with anyone better.

 

[ronniecro]

50m for semedo? what's next,80m for rakitić?
