Wasn't impressed at all. He is young but I don't see it. Kasey Palmer looked good though.

Opinions mate. Opinions! If he was going for 20m, then yes! Prior to the summer window closing last summer they wanted a ridiculous and astronomical amount for him, which I won’t expose. At that amount, and then pushing for similar, if not more, no way would I pay that. Compare him to Justin Kluivert, who is gettable at 30m plus, with initiatives. It shows my personal argument. And I wouldn’t spend that on Kluivert. Opinions! No ITK!

To me looks great for a 17yr old, LWB I can see as best choice, but , he looked so mature,can’t remember many other 17 year olds looking this good, just think with quality coaching what he could turn out to ve

He's only 17 and scored in an absolutely vital game and a good goal too.

Time will tell but i think you're far too critical.
I don't think most are being critical about the player more about the rumored fees that have been discussed. I think everyone here would love to get the player but at a certain price the risk isn't worth it.

Oh absolutely mate, those prices if believed are totally ridiculous and i wouldn't touch them with a barge pole.

If the silly little fucker keeps on scoring he's going to bugger up his transfer to us, someone ought to have a word with him.

Just a word to all those that are concerned about his defending, if he's as good as they say he is I'll say what I said about the young Bale, he's too good to be 80 yards away from the opposition goal, full back ain't his position.

I agree with that . And for all of those worrying about his fee, how much would a 17 year old Bale cost us now? I’m not comparing him and Bale, but prices have gone through the roof compared to back then!

What did Bale cost 7mil in the end?

I guess it is all going to come down to who Poch/scouting staff have highlighted and for what role. He has bundles of talent (my opinion)

I'm sure we'll find out soon.

A loan back to Fulham so that we don’t need to part with a big chunk of cash immediately seems the best decision. It’ll give him more experience, hopefully next season at Premier League level, and means we can apportion more of this summer’s budget to players who are actually going to play games for us next year.

Sessegnon is clearly a forward, and he’s not getting into our team over the likes of Son, Alli, Eriksen or Moura.

If you reckon we are looking at him to play as a LWF then I really see no sense in the move from ether party. He would hardly get any game time, aside from the fact, as I have mentioned before, he doesn’t (yet maybe) have the technical ability to play in possession team trying to win the PL. he looks incredibly raw and needs to be playing. If we brought him in he would be behind all our current AM/WFs. He might have a lot of potential, but right now we have to look at players then can help us win something in the next 2/3 years. Sess isn’t going to do that. If he is costing 40 odd mil that’s a huge chunk of our transfer fee on potential that won’t help us any time soon. If we had City’s budget then I would 100% get him, but we don’t.

Thing is, if Fulham get promoted it would be in their intrest not to sell him now. If he does well then his stock will rise and they can ask for more, if it doesn’t then he will still only be 18 and can ask for the same amount they are looking for now.

Oh of course. Totally agree with that. Just working off the ITK we’ve had, and assuming it’s all been informally agreed already.

It may not have been, of course!
