I actually think that we have to give Jose some credit on this one.
Jose knew of Spence from his Fulham youth days since he was a teammate of his son, and apparently pushed for us to scout and sign him when we faced Boro in the FA Cup.
Pleat may have been involved, as was Paul O'Keefe by the looks of it. But Jose also helped get our eyes on him.
Agree - no reason to think Sess is the long-term LWB option.
Players don't just suddenly become skillful or pacey and able to beat their man.
He is what he is, a steady eddy. But maybe he can be our next Ben Davies and be a solid contributor to the squad for many years and that's fine too.
Also homegrown
Maybe 16 for a right back? Walker-Peters, Trippier, Walker and Naughton all had 16
"Spiteful"?
Very likely Pleat knew of him at Fulham academy where he was a very decent prospect - left in 2018 aged 17 (end of academy scholarship) when Fulham got promoted as he probably figured not a lot of first team opportunities in PL so went to another Championship club in Middlesbrough.
Has a nasty streak, we don’t have enough players like that
Can't say I'm aware of it or not, tbh.
"Young, fast, strong, skillful" sounds more important though.
I think this season is a turning point for him at Spurs - injured most of first season, loaned out 2nd season to Germany doing 'alright' and even 'well' there, involved sporadically last season. Hopefully he takes advantage of Persic as a role model
Been watching his highlights reel he reminds me a bit of a young Dele in some ways.
Even more crazy that I don't think I've got a real opinion of him yet except 'potentially good' after all this time
You don't need to be a seasoned world class pro to tell Sess to stop turning inside and making the easy pass. Put a cross in. Beat the man and carry on into the box etc. Stop halting great breaks.
A season where he is consistently fit, well coached by Conte's team and able to learn from Persic how to be a top wing back should tell us whether he can cure bad habits
This has rattled a few Boro cages.
He's like Royal with a bit more but not enough more. He goes a bit further up the pitch before getting disoriented and confused.
