They aren't home grown are they? We need to boost our home grown contingent to allow a full champions league squad.

We'll be shifting some non HG players (I'd imagine) and we'll probably be looking at players like Grealish, Brookes, Zaha, to fill a few spaces. It depends how you want to balance the spending and what areas you want to populate with HG players. IMO, wing backs are essential to the way we play and to get decent upgrades we probably have to look at non HG or pay way over the top for AWB, Chilwell or whoever.

There's no point shifting non-HG to bring in more of the same, we'd end up in the same situation. But you're right, compromises will have to be made.

Surely we use the non HG quota to the limit because HG players carry such a premium. IMO, we need to upgrade substantially at WB on both sides, and short of paying through the nose for AWB, I'm struggling to think of any HG players that fit the bill.

i didn't see anything that made me think he's a better option than KWP so £35m would be a real leap of faith. Especially as we are likely to need a CB, 1 or 2 CM and possibly an attacking option too

Yes the full back slots will be an issue, AWB has said he wants to stay where is, which rules him out.

KWP is primarily a right back who we play on the left when required. Sess is a left sided player. Left-footed and all.

KWP is a right back and Sessegnon is a left midfielder / left back so not sure why the comparison??

Yes I'm aware. The comparison is made because both would eventually end up playing as wing backs albeit different sides.

And therefore my argument is that I don't believe many fans would see it as good business paying 35m for someone of equal quality to KWP

Sessegnon scored 16 in the promotion season, with 8 assists. At age 17. Catch a fucking hold of yourself.

I'll remember that next time we play in the Championship. We're Premier league top 4 and league challengers. The two are so far apart they're almost different sports. Wind your fucking neck in!
