EDS what's the situation with semedo I think he'd be a great buy how likely is it we'll sign him and also do you think we'll sign another striker?

{Ed002's Note - Southampton has no interest in Benfica's Nelson Semedo - Chelsea and Inter Milan have a declared interest in Semedo who has also been watched by scouts from Arsenal, West Ham and Manchester City. Benfica wil not be keen to sell but would be open to a significant offer well over any sensible value.

I have no measure of likely.}

Sorry EDS I was talking about Rubén semedo the centre back from sporting Lisbon and also do you think we'll sign another striker?

{Ed002's Note - My notes say that Ronald Koeman spoke personally to the "agent" of Ruben Semedo, Tony Araujo, but did not speak to Sporting at the time. My assumption is the interest left with him.}
