Can't help but feel Sess is making a big mistake. We'd have every right not to play him if he won't sign a new deal and we can't sell for a good price. Then he's less likely to get his big move.
Conversely if he renews and has a release fee built in to his contract then he will get game time here and still be able to move on once the interest is firmed up.
He has 15 years to earn the big money, shouldn't be so impatient.
Please don't take this the wrong way, but that's naive. Say he suffers a knee injury like Mawson before he's 25. Or has a concussion that becomes a lingering issue.
He has to think about his own future since no one else will.
And sitting him on the bench only hurts Fulham because he's better than both Ayite and Kabano as a goal poacher. Fulham will need Sess' offense if he isn't moved on and a better winger isn't brought onboard (and Fulham still need a good RW and backup striker to boot)
I appreciate it's career and he has the right to earn as much as he can. Whilst he has to think of his future, we have to think of ours. If he won't move for a fee and he won't stay then we need to get in someone in who will be here beyond this season.
Why is keeping Ryan for only one year OR worry about the future spot mutually exclusive?
Fulham FC is not a poor club. The owner isn't poor and isn't reliant on Fulham's revenue to buy other ventures, so can we please stop worrying about Fulham and $$$ (unless it's related to FFP)
Let's be honest. If Ryan doesn't go before the season starts he's not going before next May because the Khans don't have to sell him. And I don't think either the Khans or Ryan would be mad about it.
We all knew Ryan's wish was that he leave this summer. Ryan knew it. The Khans knew it.
But to make it viable for all parties involved (including the purchasing team) an amount had to be agreed upon that would provide value to Ryan, the Khans and (let's just say for sh and giggles it's the Spurs) Tottenham.
It hasn't happened yet. We're past the midway point of the transfer window. Teams are now buying...yet we still haven't heard of an official bid.
The Khans aren't desperate to sell because they can use Ryan as a starter this season.
Ryan isn't desperate because he knows he can earn more after he has a good year and there is no buy on fee.
The Spurs aren't desperate because...let's be honest...they don't value Ryan as much as the fans on this forum.
So here we stand...with Ryan not even able to raise his stock on the U21 squad because he's injured.
I agree that he's worth 15 million.
What impact left winger are the Khans going to bring in for that amount? Why not just hold on to Ryan who we know can score in the championship? He already knows how to play with the players on this squad and doesn't have to be vetted in.
