That's fine and the distinction you mention is real, but Sess being Champo Team of the Season at 16 and Player of the Season at 17 are pretty unique accomplishments, it's not like many comparisons are available.

I just never bought in to it, there's no hindsight being applied here. I remember quite a few who were regular watchers feeling the same. It was obviously very impressive what he was doing and on paper the resume was fantastic but the eye test was just never there.

There are talents/players who get you excited and ones who don't. That isn't foolproof either (I liked Adama, a lot) but I feel like Sessegnon got very highly rated for being very young and for being in a very dominant side where his tactical role led to goals. Tom Cairney was 'that guy' for me in that Fulham team, albeit very obviously championship level and a lot older.
