Selling Sessegnon

[Twig]

£50 mil or any other big fee would be inclusive of add ons based on appearances, international call ups etc. etc. So we couldn't spend the entire fee, even if we wanted to, because it wouldn't all pass onto our books in one lump (sadly!).

On the slightly different question of would we spend whatever fee we received? We that is a matter of conjecture but in my experience the Khan's are set on running a "sustainable club" and so I would expect that only a proportion of any big fee would be reinvested in the transfer kitty.  To be fair when other clubs have hit the jackpot with one massive transfer and then blown it on a lot pricey incoming players it has not always worked out - the fees for Bale money was not very successfully reinvested and the Lukaku money seems to have also been poorly spent.

I would take anything north of £15m.  He has huge potential, but it is potential.  Look at his ACTUAL contribution and assess the value of that.  Don't misunderstand me, I would like him to stay but if all goes well for him he will outstrip us. He hasn't yet, he's still growing as a footballer. He has talent, but as a youngster still learning he makes mistake (for which I forgive rather than castigate him) but a hard-nosed commercial approach says sell him for, say £20m, and buy a better left back and have £ left over.

He is my pick for player of the season so far. That said, I would still take the 50m, which I don't think there is much chance of Spurs paying.

I'm interested that you pick him as man of the season. WHY? What has he done to make you say he's outperformed KMac or Stefan for example?

KMac, Stefan and Button (I'm not a fan but I think he is top 5 so far) are close behind Sess in my mind. I thought Stefan and KMac needed a few games to get going this season so I would give it to Sess. His defending still needs to improve but I think he has been our best attacking player to date, feels like a constant threat. Don't know the stats but he must have played a part in at least a third of our league goals so far.

As Sgt (Arthur) Wilson would say:
"I think we're going I to the realms of fantasy".

Sessegnon for £50 million is a no brainer normally. However i have nothing against the Khans but i know that money we would re-invest would be 30% of that at best. So for that reason i would pass and get to the premiership with him and then we may see that money re-invested as he can see the risk-reward of being in the PL. On another note i really am Sess fan boy but this season he has been poor and i think its due to the England u17 and being fatigued.

No one seems to mention what Ryan Sessegnon wants in all this, which, most of all, is at the heart of what happens.  The young man wants to play for Fulham and I am very glad that he does.  I also believe he has worked out, very sensibly IMO, that were he on the books of a big club today he'd likely be out on loan to a Championship side to get experience and match time. The future will pan out however it does so and he'll continue to do whatever is best for him and I wish him all the success in the world.  He hasn't been a sucker so far and so how can people believe he'll fall for lazy and repeated media speculation like this load of trash.

Just happy he and his bro have signed new contracts,as for worth its always down to any 2 clubs buyer and seller to sort out for any player.

+1 - couldn't have put it better myself. Clearly enjoys playing for Fulham and whilst I'm under no illusions he will eventually move onto bigger things, I hope he stays a while yet and helps us get to where we want to be.
