Why did we sign Sessegnon if we don’t think he’s good enough to get minutes in either an attacking or defensive position? With Europa League, especially the qualifying games, there will be opportunities for him.

I don’t want to send him on loan to a weaker league, he won’t learn anything there. He already played full seasons in the Championship. He needs to start adjusting to the highest level not drop down again.
Agreed. A loan back to the Championship or Fulham is surely a step back. He has 100+ appearances at that level.

Time for him to prove himself in our team.

You’re nuts if you don’t think he can learn anything at Ajax, one of the best coached clubs in Europe.
 
no news about buying new RB this summer?

And here's some info from captain bullshit himself

Where: SC
Who: Hercules
When: Today


Another 2 close. But! Please do not ask me to go further. Kim very very keen. It is down to the financials on this one. Other options being looked at. Agents busy also using us to link and draw interest in their players. The Algerian kid at Brentford is very true. Not a certainty, but option. Kim one of the two if we can agree structure. Personal terms agreed on this one.

Serge wants to move on. Media accurate on our options.
 
Recent links to Celik, Hojbjerg, Wilson, Benrahma, Kim seems to show a strategy focused on less star names but more balance throughout with extra competition. I honestly think if Aurier does leave that we could see another RB come in because, let’s be honest if we want a balanced squad a like for like simply won’t be sufficient enough, unless the club has plans for Japhet to offer versatility there.

It’s looking like an interesting summer, one very different to the last one where we seem to be trying to patch something together to get a squad system in place that isn’t now so lop sided looking.

Nearly £150m spent last summer but going into the here and now with only 1 RB, 1 out and out striker and no DM is pretty ridiculous it has to be said, hopefully our issues won’t look as bad come September.

Incredible how he gets anyone believing his fantasist bullshit. All he does is just piggy back on other peoples 'ITK' (which doesnt really exist anymore) or the media stories. Still at least his summaries give you a nice roundup of all the news already out there.

Well duh, why wouldn't he want to swap the Chinese League for playing in the (supposed) top league in the world? Making a shit load in the process...

What a pointless thing to make up.

I had the fortune of disagreeing with him on something he said and within a day I noticed that I could no longer login. The comment was something harmless. He's so precious over there. Obviously linked to those that run the site and his 'tell u nothing' scoops are used to drive traffic on the site itself. Amazingly some people who in fairness seem very knowledgeable on the game itself believe what he says and continually quote him.
 
Wilson can fuck off, he's just a taller version of Defoe, his all round play is shit, he offers nothing like Kane does (on a good day anyway) in terms of hold up etc, and he's not even a prolific goalscorer.

Watkins, Leao, Rebic or even fucking Cavani for a couple of years on a free makes more sense, all better footballers, all can play more than just as striker and all better strikers.

Don’t see the similarity to Defoe at all. Wilson’s always been a good team player for Bournemouth, and he’s physical and tough. More importantly, I think he’d be able to deal with being a back-up player at this stage of his career and not get to down about it. Yeah, he’s not like Kane, but if the price is right he’ll do. Would rather we spent real money on a proper RB anyway.
