Have to say I’m very confused by the latest from Hercules on Sessegnon. Not doubting the info at all, far from it, but given what we know of Khan’s past behaviour (asking silly money last summer) and ambition (buying Wembley to move his NFL franchise to), I find it very hard to see him letting Sessegnon go in the summer if they are promoted, loan back or not. Surely he’ll see Sessegnon as a potential £80m+ cash cow after a good season in the PL?

He's asking £100M now - a good year in PL? £200M easily...

I think you are overestimating how high prices have gone up or at least how high they will be in the future. Ffp 2.0 will be coming in this month that will curtail the spending of city and psg.
The neymar sale was a political move that might not be replicated again. It funded both the signing of coutinho and vvd to liverpool.
I think future sales of players for more than £100m will be very rare.
The domestic tv deal has flatlined and although the foreign has increased there is no guarantee it will again.

They hardly enforce the current rules, all the new rules in the world mean nothing if not enforced

when is the last time, if ever, that one of our fullbacks scored 16 goals in a season, or even half that

Personally I'm still not convinced but it may be that I'm not seeing something that everyone else is.

He took his goal really well last night and had some nice touches but I felt he was on the periphery of both legs of the playoff semi finals.

If Fulham come up then he should stay there, there's no reason for him to leave. If they don't come up then I'd be happy for us to sign him but then loan him back for all of next season.

He seemed a little more restrained in these two games.
It's likely he was instructed to play a little deeper because of what was at stake.

He has a talent for scoring goals it’s a waste if he plays full back. He didn’t really stand out in under 19 euros last season but still got plenty of goals

I think what you have to look at is his goals. For a kid of that age to score so many goals and with such assurance it shows he has something about him. I think he is going to be a top player

The most difficult thing to do in football is score goals. This kid obviously has something special in that department

Surely he has now priced himself out of our league unless the bigger fish do not bid for him

I'd be surprised if he left Fulham were they to get promoted unless one of the richest clubs offered silly money for him, which I am sure Fulham will now be asking
