What are people’s feelings on Sessegnon?

Is he a LB or LM?

He isn’t getting a sniff of our first XI in the front 3, so he has to be thinking about forcing his way in as a LB surely?

Will Jose want that? He’s a fan of more pragmatic full backs for sure? If we ended up with a more defensive minded RB, can you see Sess playing the attacking outlet on the left, sort of how Aurier does on the right now?

If not, do we look to offload and see what we get back? Or loan and hope to increase value?

I like the kid personally. Would like to see him playing more, especially at LB. But I don’t want to see him doing nothing and just stagnating or regressing as a player and commodity.

ALM/WLF for me, it's where he seemed to do his best work at Fulham. Don't think he enjoys playing LB much, Fulham brought in a LB to play behind him IIRC (Target ?)

He's another that needs to go on loan next season and play some football, because I can't see Mourinho using him much.

Kim Min-Jae, Hojbjerg, Castagne, C Wilson, Brooks would be a really impressive return for a window given our circumstances. All a level lower than I’d like to see us targeting but we have probably had to drop our standards somewhat based on needing a few, along with the lost revenue streams in 2020.

How do we all feel about Brooks being linked? Every time I’ve seen him I thought he had very promising quality.

Injury concerns aside, think Brooks is perfect for the squad with potential to grow into more. Has the feel of a signing Leicester makes that has us wondering why Spurs didn’t do the same.

He was definitely better further forward for Fulham, perhaps relative to the reduced standard though.

Would be refreshing to have an attacking player play on the side of his chosen foot, so he could actually put a cross in though. Whilst I do enjoy Son cutting in and trying to shoot (when it comes off), I can see it vexes Harry. A different option wouldn’t be a bad thing.
 
These loans for Skipp and Parrott are excellent news. From what I hear loans are the making of players. We should have 2 Ballon d'Or nominees in the next 3-5 years. The new Kante and Lewandowski fast approaching. Sweet!

Can anyone tell me how many loans a players needs before they have reached the 'making of' themselves? I assume it is a linear relationship so this must have been worked out somewhere already. Shame Marcus Edwards' 2 loans weren't enough. It just wmakes me wonder when is time enough to cut bait or should we just keep loaning players until they are 28 just in case? That sounds like a very sound way to run a club.

Would it really be that impressive?

Surely we could offload a few and use that towards a fund to get us better than that?

You enquired what happened to the money.... We subsequently spent it this year.

If there is a pot of 'gold in reserve by all means let's go shopping.... If there is it should be easily proven.

Spurs have had pretty good profit for a number of years. If the owners haven't taken it all the should be money to invest. Especially since the club has taken a loan to cover Covid costs. But I guess you have the figures, you sound pretty sure of yourself.
