it's great news that we signed someone, just think we should lower our expectations. He's a 30M full-back coming from the portuguese league, so he's not better than Danilo and Coentrao, who pretty much did the same as Semedo (were very strong there), even though he can improve. Which is not a bad thing, both Danilo and Coentrao did what was expected of them, despite what the media says, they were reliable backups for starters that would cost 2 or 3x more if they were to be put on the market.
There's no better on the market and we wouldn't afford it anyways, we just need to make peace that trophies are not going to rain down on us like in the past decade for the next few seasons while we develop what we have. CL is going to be tougher and tougher, but we're still better than Madrid in Spain who pretty much struggle during all games and rely on their quality up front to save the matches in the last 10m while we dominate and win comfortably most of them
