Number one on the list for me. Semedo would be one of the best signings we've made this decade. 

Is he THAT good? I've barely caught a glimpse. Please, enlighten me.

The impact he could have from RWB reminds me of a certain Dani Alves. 

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Yes him going forward reminds you of Marcelo or Alves. Definately has that potential.

His defending aint perfect for RB but would definately work as RWB and given the fact Conte would train him.

I agree with Skipp, Nelsinho is only RWB we should be targeting. 

Having someone like him would allow our "RW" to completely focus on playmaking or scoring goals, because Nelson would provide great width.

i can tell you now, since i support Benfica and watch all their games, this kid is the real deal, he will only get better with time and age, he would be perfect in Conte´s system. Cheers

Small overview on Semedo. 

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

He was always going to go to Man City. They desperately need  3 new ones as well. 

Going to be an amazing talent to watch.

I hate when people post rumours and claim that they are 100% true.

And I just did this in JR thread as well

Portuguese league is a really good place to get borderline world class talent. Martins at Sporting is another one.

Barcelona are closing in on the signing of Benfica right-back Nelson Semedo, reports A Bola.

[Mufassir08 2,400]

Thankfully A Bola are shit.

The source is crap but it wouldn't surprise me if Barcelona were after him 

[It's too big 625]

Yeah, Barca wanted Bellerin or Azpilicueta apparently too.

They would have better chance of getting Semedo than them two every benfica player has a price tag

Is everyone familiar enough with Rugby Union to understand about The Barbarians RFC? For those who don't, here's a brief introduction taken from the website of The Babas, as they are known: -

"The Barbarians are a rugby club which brings together players from different clubs to play a few matches each year to enjoy the camaraderie of the game and play attacking, adventurous rugby without the pressure of having to win."

In the spirit of The Babas up and at 'em, attack, attack, attack approach, along with their commitment to playing the beautiful game at all times, wouldn't it just be amazing to see a team featuring Nelson Semedo and Theo Hernandez as their wingbacks? That team would not be dull.

I've taken the advice of @Chelsea Legend 11 and watched some more of Semedo. I like him but, given the report that Hernandez is off to Real, that pairing won't happen at Chelsea.

Very aware. And our boys gave you Lions a run for you money over the weekend bring on the rest of the tour

Don't forget that the oppo also tends to play Babas rugby against a Barbarians side. The serious stuff will be a whole different thing. Sadly.

As for the tests, I just don't think anyone has a prayer against the All Blacks at the moment.
