Selling Sessegnon

[JoelH5]

If we do sell Ryan for 50 mill plus as has been touted, what do you expect will happen with that £50 mill?

Will we have the whole amount to invest in players?

[ChesterTheTabby]

If we got offered 50 million for Sess, that would be incredibly hard to turn down.... I for one do not want him to go, but unfortunately it is sheerly only a matter of time. Even if we make it into the Premier League this would only keep Ryan here for maybe 2 years beyond that. If offered 50 million I feel like we would surely have to accept.

[Fernhurst]

Would be devastated to see him go but go he will at some point.

Possibly the Riverside Stand project will as last begin, (not sure how much it would cost though) also the development of the ground opposite Motspur Park we have purchased.
The change (if any) may fund some investment in the team depended on whether we go up.
If we were to go up, as Huddersfield have done the purchase of a Premier squad may be through the Sky TV money.
Or ........ it may pay for an upgrade to the yacht!!!

[Mince n Tatties]

All this coming out every month or so,agencies like the football league world now stating Spurs are the latest to go after him,excuse me but I thought it was them who supposed to be after him all along.
Made up nonsense with made up money being mentioned.
Sess will be here with us when we go up....Coyw

Exactly. COYW !
+ Spurs don't have £50m.
+ Levy will try and con us.
+ Never ever understood how Spurs got a free run at Dembele no1 without an even bigger club going for him. Bitter.
+ we ain't their feeder club.
+ can't stand their fans.
+ we're going up and he's staying with us.

[Tabby]

Spurs paid over 30 million for Sissoko who hardly plays. Their reputation for not paying well isn't entirely earned. Anyway, all of Englands top clubs are surely keeping tabs on him, doesn't have to be Tottenham.

Don't know how well it would work to suddenly have 50 million in the market though. Hard to get a decent price and players will be clamouring for better contracts. Look at how Everton is doing now after selling Lukaku. Granted, Sess is nowhere near to as influential as Lukaku.

The more we spend the worse deals we seem to make. No names,no pack drill of course....

[toshes mate]

Wow, 'bigger clubs go after star players of smaller clubs', as if it is something that hasn't ever happened before in a repetitively rehashed lazy journalistic media that is so bad you wonder why any of it bothers.  Why give these people house room on these threads?

[J.Perkins]

I reckon he will stay with us until we gain promotion. The money we would gain from selling him would allow us to build a solid PL team.

I can understand not wanting to sell under any circumstances, but we are only Fulham, and £50m is a lot of money.

[Woolly Mammoth]

I would not want him to leave, and hopefully he will be playing in the Premier League for Fulham FC next season. I can only hope.
But if somebody came in with a 50 million English Pounds 💷💷, I would have to consider it very seriously, that is a lot of money, and I would hang out for the highest bidder and get the maximum for him, I would not except the first, second or third offer assuming he would be in agreement to leave in the first place.
It's all irrelevant and speculation and journalism stiring the pot as we all know they do.
In Sess we have a gem in our hands, he can help us obtain membership to the English Premier League, and then consolidate there.
Because somewhere along the line, sooner or later he will no doubt be sold unfortunately.
But Fulham's compensation will be millions of hard earned cash 💰, which puts Fulham in a win win situation I would like to think.

[Bassey the warrior]

Not gonna happen. We'd get less than half of that.

Not many PL clubs would turn down that sort of money.

[Birmingham White]

I really hope we don't cash in on Sess. Love watching him and it would break my heart to see him at Spurs. Rumoured buy out clause is £80mil. With the increase in transfer fees he could be worth a huge amount if he plays with us in the Premiership.

[filham]

£50m has to be just wild and ridiculous media speculation, no way is Sess worth anywhere near that figure , even at today's silly rates. I actually question if he is worth a place at left back in the present Fulham team, he is not performing as well as Malone did last season and I suspect if ever Soares becomes match fit Sess. may be moved forward to an attacking position.

Indeed it could be said that Fulham could use a £10m or £15m transfer fee for Sess. to buy players who would be of more immediate use to them in the Championship. However Fulham never use big money received for players on good replacements so we had best keep him rather than see the money evaporate away in the bank.

Controversial as it might be, I would snap the hands off someone offering £50m, or even £30m. It is based on his assumed development, as he is certainly not worth that kind of money if based on his current level. Not many players end up as good as they are touted to, and he has a long way to go before he's good enough to start for a team like Spurs. I enjoy watching him at Fulham and really hope he fulfills his potential at Fulham, but it's no guarantee.

[Bill2]

A lot of people are saying this is a lot of money and are basically saying is he worth that, no doubt similar discussions were going about when Gareth Bale was being touted about.

So when you go on about is he worth that much you have to consider his future value. I like Ryan Sess a lot he has great pace and for a 17 (just) he is a good size so will only get bigger and stronger. But one quality I really feel makes him the player he is and will be in the future is his intelligence. How many great runs does he go on with his dynamic overlapping and then his ability to see a pass and play some fantastic passes in very dangerous positions and I won't mention his finishing. As for the comparison of Bale, remember he started out as left back.

So is he worth 50 mill, yes because in the future I believe he will be a world class player and England international.

Agree entirely

I don't know if this is how if works in the industry but for me, if you say he has the "potential" to be a £100m player but, looking at the careers of all the other youngsters who had that potential once, you say statistically the probability of him actually fulfilling that is about 10%, then £10m (10% of £100m) would be a fair valuation

I can follow that reasoning, but how does someone arrive at the £50m valuation. They don't apply any reasoning other than £50m is an attention drawing figure to put on the front page of the sports section of the paper.

[grandad]

Hey, it´s the International break & there is little of any interest so some lazy journo has trawled back for something to say.

Sell Sess for 50 million, I think the OP must have been out drinking, not like me 9weel I wasn't out for long today at the Clubhouse)!! Who on Earth is likely to consider paying that price, a very promising youngster we do have on our books, but at this stage nobody knows if he is going to make the grade in top level football and just another concern as to what his best position will be? Didn't we have another wonder kid on our books, think his name was Roberts, Patrick wasn't it? How much did we sell him for and where is he now and what is his current worth? Yes I know the answers except his market value, nowhere near 50M!! On what I have seen so far this season, we would probably have the same number of points whether Sess had been playing for us or not, just my opinion though after watching 10 games.
