I don't mind stats but I prefer the eye test.
With your eyes have you seen anything that's truly impressed you about the boy?
Behave.
Like you've watched more than the odd game of Fulhams and some MOTD highlights....

He will get more attacking touches as a left back for us than a winger for Fulham. Fulham couldn't defend with defensive full backs, never mind this fella. Totally different game at a big club.I feel as he must be being signed as an attacking option. Of his 26 starts in the league this season, only 3 were at LB.
Hotspur Related gets news and gossip from all over and shares (with the original source in the tweet). Don't take anything for certain, but if you are on twitter I recommend following as it keeps all news in one place.I don't recall if HOTSPUR RELATED are accurate or not. But that bit about using him as a left winger and then eventually converting him to a left back seems awfully specific.
Hotspur Related also twists things said in articles to make them seem a lot more interesting/exciting than they actually are, unfortunately.Hotspur Related gets news and gossip from all over and shares (with the original source in the tweet).

I had a look on a Fulham forum and they have quite mixed views on him. Some think he's great and deserves way more time given his age and goalscoring record, others think he was found out in the PL. I thought this post was a good, balanced summary:
"The extreme positivity and extreme negativity around Ryan Sessegnon is insane. He is probably not going to be as good as Ashley Cole, Raheem Steeling or Gareth Bale, but I think it’s likely that he will be significantly better than Ryan Bertrand, Danny Rose, Ashley Young and Stewart Dowling.
He is a good buy for a Champions League team looking for a good squad player for the next 12-15 years. I don’t think £30m buys much these days, and if Ryan Sessegnon would be worth more than that on a five year contract especiallly if that team felt he might extend his contract until 30+ years old."
I did and I said so at the time. I don't know how good Sessignon will be yet but he will be good and I am very much hoping we get this done soon.Thing is, even Gareth Bale didnt think Gareth Bale was ever going to be as good as Gareth Bale...
I don't agree he's overpriced at 25M, as we need to get up to speed with current market rates. If Dominic Solanke, with only 1 senior goal for Liverpool can be sold for £17M, then Sessegnon - younger but with more senior experience - is surely worth 25M at today's rates. That's what you pay for potential these days, especially ones that are homegrownOverpriced at the moment. Don’t think he’s a 25m player. Not really that interested to be honest.

Sign the lad up. He is exactly the sort of signing you would expect us to make (in a good way).
As did Chilwell and Moutinho, showing how pointless this is.I'm very for this signing, but he did manage to get himself lumbered in the most ineffective XI of the season...

A couple of those are a bit harsh. Both Chilwell and Moutinho had decent seasons.I'm very for this signing, but he did manage to get himself lumbered in the most ineffective XI of the season...
