So, I'm still stuck on the cryptic goat.

Is it related to the new stadium? Is Levy trying to skimp on the choice of cheeses?! I don't think Cheddar Cheshire and Edam is going to impress!

I think it's refreshing to see a player commit to a new contract with the club that nurtured him for the sole purpose of leaving them with more money when he leaves. He could easily have made it easier for himself by winding down his contract.

Seems a good kid

Seems like the sort of move Levy would love as well (not when he's on the receiving end tho).

Glad Fulham will get some cash though. Can't imagine it's £28m upfront?

Like 28 million buys a player?!

That's going to be a big summer outlay, however, if we do indeed secure Aurier, Foyth, Barkley and Sessegnon, that'd be huge. Two tiers of transfers, some for immediate impact, some with a view to the longer term. Massive respect to Levy, Poch and co if this all gets done.

It's probably an alternative to a sell on clause. Effectively getting that money 5 years early.

I didn't think of that, let the guessing games begin! :sneaky:

squad numbers ...

"The Goat has been told that its close..........he was 30, then 3 but 28 million buys him for me."

£28M for Sessegnon (who originally wore 30 then moved to 3)

EDIT - Beaten to it pages and pages ago! Doh!

The Ryan Sessegnon transfer fascinates me. Primarily because he clearly seems very gifted and the prospect of what Pochettino could mound him into is exciting. However, I'm equally intrigued at where he ends up as there seems to be synergies with Bale insofar as left wing back seems obvious but he clearly has an eye for goal based on some of his performances for Fulham last season.

Mound him?!!!! :ROFLMAO:

Good work sir.

Feeling really positive after that last burst of ITK. Think we we will have added genuine quality, not just depth, to the squad as a whole. Unlike in previous years, where we've built a great first 11, but have little behind it. I still feel we need impact from the bench though. I'm hoping the gamechanger ITK is about someone we haven't picked up on yet, Hercules did say not to focus too much on Martial didn't he? And maybe A&C forthcoming tough cryptic is linked to this? I still think the not a goer/goer ITK was bout Balde

That is RS and very excited about this signing.
Just hope Rose stays and who better for him to learn off than him and Poch
COYS

I would guess that Sessegnon knows how to use Google, but may not know the direct line number for the Sun

VegasII · Aug 20, 2017

Sanchez, Sessegnon, Aurier and Barkley...that would be job done for the window. Foyth's a nice bonus as well if he signs.

Something else I made very clear is that I have no idea what the cryptic will be or who it'll be about. No idea at all. None.

There's nothing to be read into it other than when the time is right and I get the opportunity, you're getting a hard one.

Which again, oh fucking hell, how many more mum jokes can one make?

Hope it is that, however personally suspect that it is likely he thought Fulham could have a tilt at promotion with him playing a central role, but has seen his team not looking at all up to it, so now fancies moving.

E8spur · Aug 20, 2017

Well I'm very happy about Sessegnon - a real talent with much more to come. But but but... the gamechanger... that can't be him. And two ITK's have mentioned it. So I'm still gonna believe in an attacking, google-free gamechanger until we get one or the window closes. I want that gamechanger!

People need to stop with this, for all we know it was never an option.

I'm pretty certain the ITK in June/July suggested it was. I know a lot who then put money on it cos the ITK was suggesting a done deal

I prefer it when you soft-ball them in.

So does my mum etc etc

I fucking told you this would happen. And my mum agrees

Can you solve the second part of the cryptic too please?

Or Fulham changed their minds and decided to cash in now to give them funds for 3 new signings
