YTD: Squad: 18, Starting eleven: 7, Substituted in: 11 Of Semenyo's 4 goals this year, none since 14/9.

For the last several matches of Bristol City, Semenyo has been relegated to being the third choice of BC's 442 striker tandem, primarily used as a second-half substitute. Tommy Conway (9g4a in 26) is their inform striker. The other, 32yo Nahki Wells, with 8g3a is not doing poorly either.

We have a string of forwards starting with our u18s (Junior Dixon and Zach Marsh) and into our U21s (JK,Killian.Akinwale,Mola,etc) that are ready now (JK, IMO), or will be in 1-2 years. Even with a January transfer, several months would be needed for a return to form and ingratiation into our system and methodology, whilst simultaneously our Academy lads would continue to improve and approach first team quality.

Also, generally recognized by football financial observers, is that Bristol City needs to try to show between 5 and £10M million this year in outbound fees. (They've had some significant financial losses over the last several years).

Look inwards, perhaps?

If we end up paying a near 8 figure sum for a player that can't get in a Bristol City team sat 18th in the Championship we may as well accept that the Olise/Andersen summer of smart spending was an anomaly rather than a new norm, pack up and go home.

13 goals in 107 Championship games - utterly woeful.

Over the last season and a half, Semenyo has plated 49 times with 11 goals and 13 assists in the Championship, despite playing in the wrong position and in a poor team.
Olise played in his last two seasons at Reading playing 71 times with with 7 goals and 13 assists, He will turn into the right footed version of Olise, so i think a similar fee to Olise is a very good purchase

He does seem a decent enough player but wouldn't strengthen us particularly, in my opinion. We're linked with Wright - a similar player.

Red and Blue Army!

Semenyo is 2 years older than Olise, and we're already waiting for Olise to develop to score more goals for us.

If Semenyo isn't better than Olise today, which he very clearly isn't, we shouldn't be interested.

It's not clear why he isn't in the team. Is he being punished because he wont sign a new contract or is the manager thinking he's going so I might as well work without him or has his form suffered?

Talk about 10-15m is nonsense for a player who will be out of contract in 6 months. We had this with Reading I think we offered 8m they refused so we waited and signed him for free, I bet that 8m would be looking pretty good right now.

We will have the same issue with Zaha although as we are a PL club the prospect of losing your best player during the season and getting relegated I would rather take the hit and let him go in the summer.
