Well if we're not going to pay more than 25 million then we can watch United take him- surely we're going to buy someone this window- I hope

Good potential but Poch and the gang will need to get stuck in coaching wise.
He's gone backwards in the last 18 months but at the right price ’maybe’ worth a punt.

Someone, not us, will pay what Fulham want.
Then it's up to him how much he really wants a Spurs move.
He could hang it out until they realise it's whatever we want to pay now or lose him on a free next year. Likelihood though is that a money club will pay £40m and take the punt. He'll be heavily encouraged to go by his agent, who of course has nothing to gain by his client selling for £15m - £20m more at all...
This is another one that'll slip through the net due to attempts at brinkmanship.

Fulham can't force Sessegnon to join a club he doesn't want to join. This isn't Major League Baseball, after all. If he refuses to leave London or insists that Tottenham is the only acceptable option, he can't be made to join Man Utd, no matter how much they offer Fulham. He'll either join a cub he wants to join or stay at Fulham for another year.

Which is what I said in the very next line, the one you quoted, but didn't bold. ;)

With top coaching this lad can be brilliant. I hope we take a chance and get him in.

Shouldn't have signed that new deal!
If Eriksen signs a new deal this summer then goes for £120,000,000 next summer, how is Sesses situation any different?
He's given something back to Fulham for their part in developing him by giving them an extra year and a big fee when he goes.

His form this season might mean the whole plan backfires...
If Eriksen signs a new deal, I doubt he is going anywhere any time soon.
Zaha was probably thinking the same thing and we'll see who coughs up 70 mil for him. I say no one.
