Transfer rumours

[Deleted member 15344]

Liverpool wouldn't offer enough but I wouldn't put it past you to start unsettling him. I don't think he is stupid enough to go and sit on Liverpool or anyone else's bench

He is a 16 year lad - he isn't going to cost millions and he would jump at most Prem clubs coming in for him - he could be made for life getting a good deal higher wages and being part of a higher level of squad playing alongside top international players even just in training

And that is everything that is wrong with football these days....

It really is.
A 16yr old could be set for life just by showing potential.

 

[Pin-seeker]

Could Liverpool sign him?
Or is it under 16s the ban is for?

Really ? A young lad wanting to further himself and his career by taking a big step up in club to give him a great chance to be a star ?

How is that wrong ?

I remember Sterling getting hammered for being "greedy" when he wanted to further himself.

Because he won't be a top star. He'll go and sit on the bench, get a few cup games and end up in league 2, that's what the top teams do to young players

But surely if he is that good he won't sit on bench - if the player is good enough he will get to the right level , we have had plenty young players get time on the pitch and even more so when it's in an area that we needed strengthening.

If Sessegnon is destined to be a regular Prem player and possible International player then he isn't going to end in League 2

Simple. He'll get little playing time, and undoubtedly get farmed on loan. He's had a great season but he's not the finished article and would really benefit from another season at the current level in a really tough and competitive league to develop and mature. If he goes now he'll stagnate. It's simply not the right time

You'll never know what will be right, Fulham could be playing him too much now.
Rooney didn't do too bad playing PL Football at 16 and moving to a bigger club that improved him.
If he's good enough, he's old enough.
What if he breaks a leg next season staying at Fulham, what if, what if.
No right or wrong for me.

Think Rooney was a rarity. Just my opinion of course and that's what these threads are about. I thought he'd actually been handled quite well this season but only the player and the staff know what effect the season has had. Always a risk a player can get injured but all things being equal, he will continue to mature (and grow in physique) and if he has a season next year like this then he'll go and for a decent fee

So why can't he do all that at a PL Club, if you'd of got through the play offs, would've you sold him to a championship side to protect him?

Because if he goes to a PL side, he'll get limited game time, and likely be farmed out. Why go to a PL side and then end up at a lesser side than the one you came from. It's all conjecture at the moment though and we'll see how the summer plays out

 

[Deleted member 1740]

We can't go another season with Milner at left back, if we did sign Sessegnon, I'd expect him to be more than a bit part player.

As for the rumours Liverpool being "in" for Mbappe is a bit like when Everton were "in" for Shearer :rofl:

That's not answering the question, what would've you done with him if you'd of got promoted?

If he comes to us I'd be confident he'd play a lot more than you think.

I've not seen anything of him tbh, what's your thoughts on him?

Paul you really are being silly.
If Fulham got promoted they'd obviously have kept him & he'd have got plenty of game time in a struggling Prem team.
Just like if he went to say Swansea or Burnley.
But if he now goes to a Prem team like Say City or Chelsea then he's going to struggle for game time.

In all honesty, (and just my opinion) he's not the finished article yet. He's very good and arguably the best player of his age group outside the PL at the moment but he's still learning the game. Jokanovic is doing a great job with him, and he'd undoubtedly benefit from the training and being around PL standard players

It's not being silly at all, he was making the point of how playing for a championship side in the championship would be good for his development, in other words making excuses for their failure to come up and trying to hold on to their brightest prospect.

At 16 he's not going to be the finished article but he must have something about him to be cutting the mustard at championship level aged 16.

Whether he can do it in the premier league only time will tell.
