Areola had his first league start for West Ham (I think) yesterday, and Almost kept a clean sheet...made 1 very good save too and looked sharp.

And I see Sess is startin for Spurs against Chelsea in a mo... I will do a bet that includes him scoring, and i fancy spurs for this one.

Good to see Sess starting. Will be interesting to see where he lines up. Rumours that it could be wide in a front 3. #fulhamfamily

Sess is struggling

Sess taken off

Sess looked a shadow of the player he was when he left, what have they done to him? No confidence at all, he could do with getting out to save his career.

Not involved, didn't see too much of the ball, should go on loan abroad to get regular game time.

The curse of Tottenham
Subbed off at 50 mins

You know he went to Hoffenheim?

He did pretty well at at Hoffenheim but was certainly disappointing today.

Hard to believe that Areola has bee sitting on a Wet Spam bench all season, Could we tempt him with a return to the Cottage next season I wonder.

I would love him back, he just seemed to ooze quality, but also a very professional attitude to me, ( I could be wrong but Ithe pitch he seemed like that) and a real mental sharpness about him that I just don't often see in goalkeepers.

Who knows, of he goes back on the bench for the rest of the season he might want to come back, doubtful, but maybe.

Sess career ogre. Next stop qpr...

St Eve · January 23, 2022, 08:46:58 PM

He is only on loan at West Ham. We should go in for him

I have a strong sense he's gone for good

Sess and his brother were always overrated in my book the hype of modern press and agents.
Yes he is a good player but not a great,and the 25million we got if true was great business.

His best quality was his poacher's sense of where to be in and around the box to get on the end of crosses and loose balls. For his age, 16-19, he was excellent, but to turn into a top level player he had a long way to go. I've barely seen him since he left us but he doesn't seem to have progressed and he doesn't get near enough to the goal to do what he was always best at. He really does need a fresh start at a team, funnily enough, like Fulham, where he would get regular starts and the chance to improve. He'll probably end up at someone like Southampton or Palace.
