Bristol City are not going to be bullied into selling Antoine Semenyo after Bournemouth tested the Robins' resolve on Thursday with two quickfire offers.
Over the last few weeks (or you could argue six months) it had been brewing. Speculation about Semenyo's future had been floating around in the headlines without any concrete offers coming into the club.
Rangers, Celtic, Crystal Palace, Southampton, Fenerbahce and Burnley have been among the reported interested clubs, with varying degrees of accuracy behind each one, but it's Premier League strugglers Bournemouth who have played their cards first by making an approach thought to be in the region of £10million (£8m plus £2m in add-ons). At least that's slightly more reasonable than the initial derisory £8m just a few hours prior.
