I was always sceptical with this move as I didn't think he was worth bringing in, especially when considering what we had etc and how much he was valued. I was also not one of those laughing at us losing Onomah and money for him, but as Onomah was never gonna play here and Sessegnon was still a talent who cares, that's the club's decision.
Now he's here, I'm not upset, I'm pleased as he's always been a talented LB and he still has the potential to be top class. But for me his is more of a FB and I've never been convinced of him as a winger. I don't think he has enough ability with the ball at his feet to do that, his strength is arriving late, spacial awareness and finishing. It's annoying though as I think Cirkin is the best LB we've produced for ages, and I would be against signing RS for that now. But he is talented and I believe has a lot of potential and could be top class. As we have them both I think we should use RS further forward for now, as he has shown he can play there and help bring back his confidence. I also believe that Cirkin is a better LB atm so should get the chance there. It makes little sense stifling them both as they are both massive talents, and then we can see where both are in a years time.
