Title: Ryan Sessegnon
Post by: Fulham 442 on June 08, 2017, 05:10:13 PM
I thought he was supposed to be signing a contract on Tuesday??!!  No news so far........Anyone know anything?

In the case of this one I'd say no news is bad news. At the end of the season I was confident he'd stay but now I think he's talking to other clubs.

From the club website Ryan is away in Spain with England under 19 training camp so I would think that any contract talks would be delayed until his return.

Can't see why they couldn't structure a contract with the big signing on fee,subject to games he plays for us and a figure that if reached, we would let him go for.This would enable us to keep him within a sensible pay structure.

Can't really see him signing for us until his agent has had talks with Spurs., Liverpool, Man.u. etc.

I assume because of ffp, we need to sell to buy. Last season, RM enabled us to get a couple in.

I had assumed the worst case scenario with young Ryan was that at some point we would bid him farewell and received a really nice fee to help us push for promotion.

Even signing for us, then being sold.

I imagine that any suitors have communicated to his agent that an element of the funds put aside to buy him, could be used as an incentive for agent/parents/player if they weren't forced to pay the full amount if he was to sign terms with us.

When figures of multiple £m's are being discussed, it stretches loyalty.

Is there anyone on here that wouldn't wear a hooped shirt once a week and shout come on you r's in a run down part of west london for the next two years for a couple of million quid?

We'd all do it.

We'd all do it.

Without wanting to replay a debate I had on here the other day I do think these sorts of questions/statements are unfair.

If someone offered me £100k to embarrass myself by walking across CC in nothing but some ladies underwear then I would do it. But if you asked a multimillionaire like Shahid Khan or Donald Trump would you expect them to do it for what is, to them, not a lot of money? Or to put it another way, would you cheer on QPR once a week for a much smaller amount like a grand?

Fair point, but isn't it all just relative?

The vast majority on here would do that for a Million quid, and perhaps not Khan or Trump, but offer them 100 Billion, and what would be the answer then?  As I said, it's relative to a persons needs, wants and standing as to what turns ones head I feel.

Can't se how we can stop him moving to Spurs.

We could use any money from a transfer fee but I understood that he is not under contract and therefore Spurs can take him for next to nothing, at that price they are certain to have him.

Post by: cmg on June 20, 2017, 01:59:01 PM
The future of Ryan Sessegnon is a big issue for FFC and understandably engenders much comment and speculation. Unfortunately very little is known for sure.
The one thing we can be sure of is that Ryan could have signed a pro contract with FFC but did not do so.
It is generally accepted that he signed a Scholarship Contract although even this has not been officially announced. This would have occurred sometime after his 14th birthday. Under the FA regulations regarding Scholarship Contract the option arises, on the player's 17th birthday or after, to either sign a full pro contract or to extend the Scholarship Contract. Under the terms of the Scholarship Contract a player cannot sign for another club, nor can another Club or individual incite the player to do so (quite how this is enforced is not explained!). Presumably this agreement can be terminated by mutual agreement (and, presumably, a financial settlement!)
We don't know when the Scholarship Contract ends (if it exists at all). When it does the player's registration is still retained by us so some kind of fee would still be appropriate.

One other point that occurs to me is that although a 17 year old cannot sign a contract exceeding 3 years an 18 year old can sign a full 5 year contract.

Does anyone know what we would be looking at getting as compensation at a tribunal, if it came to that?
Title: Re: Ryan Sessegnon
Post by: westcliff white on June 20, 2017, 02:47:59 PM
not sure we can say what we would be looking to get, as it is down to the 3 man (?) tribunal to decide what he is worth.

My bench mark for these things is always Danny Ings, Burnley got 7.7 million for him, with around half upfront and some add ons etc. Now for me Sess is a better player than INgs but thats just my opinion adnthe play in differet positions. Forwards go for more then defenders dont they? so its finger in the wind time, but I would be surprised if we didnt get at least 5 million, for me the 12 million thats been mentioned is unlikely if it goes to a tribunal (I cant think of a time when a UK transfer tribunal as given that much). It doesnt have to go that far, we could agree a fee with a club before all that happens.
Title: Re: Ryan Sessegnon
Post by: cmg on June 20, 2017, 03:00:38 PM
If he signed at 17 with another club then the question of compensation arises (prob c. £2million depending on where he goes) BUT if he is subject to a Scholarship Contract compensation does not arise. He cannot sign for anybody else unless we (and he) agree to terminate the contract, which is where the quoted (i.e 'guessed at') figures of £12 million fees come into play.
Title: Re: Ryan Sessegnon
Post by: westcliff white on June 20, 2017, 03:10:55 PM
i still thought if he was under 21 and out of contract we still get a tribunal payment, simialr to ings as he left at 21/22 for liverpool and was a free agent. He had played a lot more games than Sess though.

It is all gobbledegook to me though
Title: Re: Ryan Sessegnon
Post by: Chutney on June 20, 2017, 03:49:10 PM
The issue is, Sess became a very useful squad player as the season went on, so if he wants to stay or not, he needs to hurry up and make a decision, because we'll need to find a replacement if he leaves.

Ings was out of contract as his pro contract expired. Sessegnon can't be out of contract as he has never had a pro contract. He leaves without signing a pro deal and we get £50 and a set of tracksuits

I see no reason to worry about a player, if you want to play for Fulham then sign the contract, if not then just go. By not signing a contract shows me that his agent/parents and of course himself are weighing up options, and if this is the case then it's clear that he is not too fussed about staying at Fulham.
I do hope he signs though.

I do not see it that way at all.  If he is being advised by Fulham FC to take his time and weigh up all the options then he is being given sensible space, particularly so as SJ has already intimated a likely situation will be a loan back transfer if that is the player's best outcome right now.  That means he is being treated fairly by the Club and he is returning the respect.   He is a young guy who has had an exciting season, has an exciting future, and is in the media spotlight.   Perhaps he wants all that interest and speculation to calm down a little so that he can make the best decisions for all concerned.   I really do not know how it will pan out.

Manchester City's former Fulham man has unwelcome title when it comes to past three years' Premier League signings

Patrick Roberts cost Manchester City £12 million when they signed him from Fulham in 2015.

He was a highly-rated 18-year-old, but while he has enjoyed success with Celtic, things have not exactly gone according to plan at parent club Manchester City.

And statistics that have come out today have revealed that, for all intents and purposes, Roberts is the most expensive waste of money when it comes to appearances, in the past three years.

Analysis of the signings made by Premier Leauge clubs over the past three seasons has shown that Roberts, at £12 million, is the most expensive player to have made five or fewer appearances for his club.


Roberts was a 55th minute substitute in a 4-1 League Cup win over Sunderland in 2015, before making his Premier League bow in the 86th minute of a 4-1 defeat to Tottenham four days later.

He was then handed 15 minutes in another League Cup tie - a 5-1 triumph over Crystal Palace - but that was the last the City fans saw of the Englishman.

He was shipped out on loan to Scottish giants Celtic, where he has remained ever since. And he has done pretty well in the top tier in Scotland, scoring 17 goals in a season and a half, including one in the Champions League...against Manchester City!

At 20 years old, he still has time on his side, to make it in the Premier League, but perhaps he is a good example of why young players should not make the move to the very top straight away.

Cmg is right, he IS under contract even if it is only a Scholarship contract.
With us being a Cat 1 club, it will take a lot more money to buy him compared to if we were a cat 2 academy.
That's why it's important to be Cat one along with attracting the better players to Fulham.

I've said all along I expect him to be at Fulham next season.

Post by: Mince n Tatties on June 28, 2017, 08:10:51 AM
The one player I definitely don't want to see leave is Sess,but if he does go to Spuds I wouldn't want him back on loan, firstly because his mind and heart will be somewhere else,and secondly I don't see why we should make him a better player for Spurs benefit,that's my look on it anyway.

Pretty sure the Roberts deal has the potential to be 12m but it's full of incentives and achievement based payments. Furthermore, that money is nothing to City and they've taken a sensible approach by ensuring he gets first team football, he develops at his own pace , while still having to deal with a kicking every week. All of that he wouldn't have got from under 23 football

Finally I'm pretty confident that in his sub appearance for the reported 12m Man City have had more use and will get more sell on value than the use we got out of Mitroglou..

What a load of rubbish , as Newry quite rightly says, most of the 12 mil is add ins.

Citeh bought Pat for one for the future, they were always going to  loan him out.
Pat and his parents saw pound signs which is different to Ryan and his family.

The club and academy have looked after Ryan and Steven really well so this won't be like Pat unless the club gets a silly offer for him,
Every player has his price

SESSEGNON AGREES TO NEW FULHAM DEAL

(https://cdn.thisisfutbol.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Ryan-Sessegnon.jpg)

Fulham starlet Ryan Sessegnon has agreed to a new three-year deal at the Championship club amid interest from several Premier League sides, according to the Mirror.

The news outlet have detailed on their website on Wednesday that the 17-year-old left-back has snubbed a move to the English top-flight as he seeks to continue his development at a club where he is guaranteed match time.

A number of Premier League sides were certainly interested in signing the English Under-19 wonderkid and Tottenham have been the most heavily linked in recent months.

The Mirror report even states that Spurs were leading the chase for the player, who has also been compared to former star Gareth Bale.

However, it now looks like they may have to wait a while longer before he can line-up for the White Hart Lane outfit.

Sessegnon made his senior debut for Fulham last August in an EFL Cup clash against Leyton Orient and he soon became a standout star for the Cottagers, playing 31 times in all competitions while even scoring seven goals and providing five assists from his defensive position.

He was also named in the PFA Championship team of the Year in his debut campaign and it will be a massive boost to the promotion chasing Fulham team if he remains next season.

Very sensible decision by the lad & his advisors. Only slight concern is how this might affect the budget for new players

I should add that this didn't mean we have him for 3 years, he could well be gone at Xmas if  he has a good first half to the season, but at least we will get a lot more money if he does.
Personally I think he will be here all season and nice that Steven has also signed, look out for him in a year or 2 also

Really looking forward to have this confirmed by the club.
Really so as I sent out the wife for a bottle of Champange as I was reading what John Cross was writing. She now returned to the appartment at Rue de Marechal Joffre her in Nice with the bottle and pointed out the John Cross forget to mention that a rain and thunder storm would pass Nice. I said - Oh dear.

Great news - he could so easily have been tempted by the bright lights and big wallets of a premier league club albeit as a bench-warmer. He clearly has a wise head on his young shoulders.

No need really. I really enjoy your posts and I'm very happy to are back contributing so I won't hold it against you. A lot of people deal with the uncertain by believing the worst and digging up posts isn't really required. If you look through my previous posts I'm sure I have said he is probably one we could afford to leave without disrupting our chances of promotion too much but I am over the moon we have got him to sign. It's been such a pleasure to see his progression and I've only seen him for the first team. It must be even more rewarding for people like yourself who has seen even more of him. If he stays with us until he is 18 there will. S no shortage of people wanting to buy him a pint. Just not the night before a game.

I didn't mean no harm in it, just a bit of light hearted fun, I actually meant to put the wink icon in it to show there was no harm in it.
Hope they can both see now that I meant no harm  and was just having a bit of a laugh , that's how it was meant, honest

Haha. No problem mate. As I said before you were sorely missed by me and I'm sure many others in your absence.

I am so worried............

This isn't our "usual" pre season approach........

So un Fulham like.....

Signings just days into pre - season training.....

Surely something is about to horribly wrong........

Have we tied Joka & Cairney to the floor @ Motspur Park.........?

Still welcome on board Ryan & bro
Trust that both your careers develop much further & flourish with a happy, family club
You have been well advised, thoughtful in your choice for the next few years
Hope that all of us benefit from your decision as the next few seasons fly by

Congratulations & best wishes for your careers!

Grow a few feet, add some weight & you might be the next Malcolm McDonalds, converted from left back to CF

England next up lads!

I'll share your portion of humble pie and am delighted to have been proved wrong.  Perhaps I am just too old and cynical.  Well done Ryan, Stephen and FFC and there is room for romance in this hard bitten sport we love so much.

Fantastic news!

His brother isn't too far behind either. Very impressive from club and player to make the right career decision and to not stitch the club up. Eventually we will get a transfer fee we are entitled to.

Looking forward to seeing you Ryan next season already.

COYW!
