As Lemon has said for me Sessegnon lacks that trickery or stardust . I’ve just never seen him do something that’s taken my breathe away like sancho. When he does beat people in a one on one it’s almost purely by strength than anything magical. Saying that he’s obviously a great talent in lots of aspects it’s just that xfactor I don’t see. It’s weird because he definitely has great anticipation in the box for where the balls gonna land. But maybe ultimately left back will be his true position. At this moment I think anything more than £20m would be a big gamble.

Actually was really trying to think of a current player to compare sessegnon to. Might sound a bit weird. But for me almost like a Marcus alonso. Really solid good athlete that won’t let you down and an eye for goal. But not someone you’d really expect to get you out your seat.
Sorry but if you saw Rooney at 17 comparing him to sessegnon is Just nonesense. Rooney was running PL games at 17. He was the best player on the pitch.

The problem with this though, or any foreign player, is that we pretty much have to sell to buy.
As it stands we've got two non-HG players missing out on European registration. If we add another non-HG player without selling they will miss out on being registered, or another non-HG player already here will miss out.

Leipzig want him. Mitchell has taken over their recruitment.
Two bob outfit when compared to us. Owned by a “sports drink”, won nothing and take a punt on literally everyone under 21. Fuck em, Mitchell too the self important narcissistic prick

I'm not sure we need a backup striker for Kane next seson. Sell Jansen and Llorente. If Griffiths keeps developing, have him shadow Kane...sure as shit can't be worse than the others we've tried.
I would add, that should we sign a Malcolm, i can see us playing a 433 when Kane is being rested, similar to Liverpool -- with Son playing the Firmino role.

With sancho doing well over there he might be tempted. Especially with how onomah and edwards are doing at the moment.

Ahh, similar to your suggestion Josh Onomah would end up a striker?
Yes but sadly there is a ton of smoke that he is already off
What have our resident ITK said on the subject? I just think (hoping)its paper talk.

Yeah I saw Rooney at 17. He was a lot better than Sessegnon, which is in line with what I wrote.
What Sessegnon is doing this season is more impressive than what’s been done by anyone at 17 since Rooney in this country.
Do you have an example of someone who has looked better at a higher level with superior numbers?
Well he has been played as a lone striker this season so not sure it was that ridiculous. Sir Alex signed Bebe can’t get them all right
Not disputing his numbers. But considering all the hype and potential £50m price tag I expect to see a bit more quality when I watch him.

The fee is commensurate to that which we paid for Bale. 50m is the new 10m!
£50m for a 17 yr old is still the very top end of the market.

The way i look at transfer fees these days is you can halve them for reality.
