"I have a clear position on it and I don't want to lose him. If it happens, we still have to continue competing - we have no other choice,"
"[He is a] massive player for the club, [who] contributes goals and assists, gives the side energy and physicality, and is a very good character."
"The club is working on things in case he leaves, but obviously it's impossible to replace someone like him. It's impossible, especially in the January market when nobody wants to lose good players."
"We need to improve our performance defensively because they are a team that can score goals very easily. They have so many threats."
Bournemouth face the possibility of losing winger Antoine Semenyo in January, with Manchester City reportedly close to a £65m deal. Semenyo, 25, has nine goals and three assists this season and provides energy, physicality and goal contributions. The club is preparing contingency plans but considers replacing him during the January window nearly impossible. Bournemouth are winless in nine Premier League matches after a 4-1 defeat to Brentford. Players were urged to accept responsibility, harness hunger from recent defeats, and improve defensive performance ahead of a challenging Chelsea fixture.
