Paul Joyce has said he expects sessegnon to sign in the Summer once he turns 17. Would be a great signing, he has huge potential. Already starting for Fulham.
10 Apr 2017 13:57:00
We can't sign him, we are banned.
10 Apr 2017 14:08:24
Yes we can, he's being classed as a first team player not an academy player so we can sign him.
10 Apr 2017 14:18:49
My bad, you are correct. He can sign a professional contract if required.
Personally I would advocate staying very quite about signing youth players for a little bit to avoid yet further damage to our reputation.

Do you know if this is legit eds?
{Ed002's Note - I have explained the interest - try the Sharkopod.}

I'm at work, so can't listen too it at the moment! But I'll do that later then! :)
Thanks!

No bother red dawn only found out as I've read Joyce's live chat.
10 Apr 2017 15:52:15
If this is true it must mean another year of Milner at LB, surely he's a while away from being first 11 prem ready.
10 Apr 2017 16:09:03
It really doesn't, any man with a football brain would realise Milner is way out of his depth and is only a short term solution. We've been linked with several more experienced full backs, wouldn't be surprised to see 2 left backs arrive.
{Ed001's Note - Sessegnon is ready for the Prem and first team football.}
10 Apr 2017 17:26:48
Ed001 - u reckon that if we sign him he would be good enough to start then? Cheers.
{Ed001's Note - yes.}
10 Apr 2017 19:23:00
cheers.
{Ed001's Note - welcome.}

Why are we buying kids? What happens to Juanma?
10 Apr 2017 20:52:41
Ya let's buy experienced premier league proven players who are nothing but average because that has worked wonders. i. e Lovren Clyne Mignolet Milner. If you ever watched sessegnon you would instantly realise he is an exceptionally talented full back. We missed out Alli and look what has happened.
10 Apr 2017 20:56:10
Juanma is injured even tho, the coaching staff think he's the real deal.
10 Apr 2017 23:13:40
Thought I would chip in here with my two cents worth. I have a season ticket at Fulham. I've been watching young Ryan very closely this season. While I do think he has immense talent and with the right drive could be very very good, I am not quite sure he is ready for first team Oren football. He is still young and makes a lot of mistakes. That being said he has quite the left foot, can play in defence or on the wing, and is actually quite handy at set pieces!

{Ed007's Note - How's Stefan Johansen doing if you don't mind me asking mate?}
10 Apr 2017 23:33:51
Red dawn, is that you Calvin?

I'd be happy going into next season with Milner and Sessegnon as our LB options. likewise Clyne and TAA on the right but I'd be starting TAA.
In terms of priority one this summer it should be a top CB now - replacing Klavan and to compete with Lovren IMO.
11 Apr 2017 09:25:56
If he's good enough he's old enough!
11 Apr 2017 12:15:43
Ed007, I have mixed feelings about Stefan Johansen. He can be brilliant and times and pops up with the goals here and there but my word can he sometimes go missing! Case and point was a few weeks back against Blackburn. Playing at home, 2-1 up, we lose the ball in the final minute up the pitch and he just stops moving, not tracking back at all leading to blackburn to score a last minute equalizer. It looked like he gave up and couldn't care
He has good energy though and when he seems up for it him and T Cairney can cause the opposition a lot of problems
(Apologies for this being non LFC related ed007 asked for it! )
Red Sandman.
{Ed007's Note - He was a great player for Celtic in his first 18 months - he won the PFA POTY after his first season - but his second full season was exactly as you've described which is a shame because as you say when he is in the mood he is a terror to opposition defences.
I was disappointed when we sold him as I'd have liked to see how he would have reacted to Rodgers high pressing style but the fans had been on his back and I can understand why he wanted away from Glasgow.
Cheers for the info mate.}
