Ryan Sessegnon as a winger. 08:34 - Jun 3 with 4460 views | Mercian | I followed him in his early days when he looked like he had the potential to be a world class player. He is a versatile player and can play any of the four positions on the left but from what I've seen left back is his weakest position with his strongest being wing back or wide midfielder. I think he would compliment Davis rather than be direct completion for him and would be able to provide good cover when Leif makes his runs forward. His main problem is he is injury prone but then again that is and somewhat was Tuanzabe s. IMO Sessegnon would be too good to be just a bench player. |  | | |  |
Ryan Sessegnon as a winger. on 08:46 - Jun 3 with 4375 views | BrentwoodBlagger2 | I always thought he was decent player early in his career as well, but only 57 appearances in 5 years due to various significant injuries would make him 'a big no' especially as he is reportedly on £55k per week at Spurs. |  | |  |

Tuanzabe was on a similar wage to that at Man U. |  | |  |
Ryan Sessegnon as a winger. on 09:44 - Jun 3 with 4132 views | BiGDonnie | Think he'd fit in well the way we use Leif as more of an attacking outlet. Sign him and Brandon Williams up on free transfers then LB & RB positions are sorted. COYBs |  |

Not sure Williams is a punt we need to take at this point. But he played very well for a couple of months before dropping off a cliff, can see the merit in bringing him back, but it's a massive risk. |  | |  |

we are going to have to pay those sorts of wages to get players in, that's something we as a fanbase are going to have to get used to. Not saying Sessegnon will be able to command those figures with his injury record. |  | |  |
Ryan Sessegnon as a winger. on 10:46 - Jun 3 with 3943 views | wkj | If he has a good mind on him, then McKenna is exactly the kind of mentor he needs to get back to form. Sess has the ability to be a really gifted player but I think he became a small fish in a way to big of a pond before fully cutting his teeth. If someone told me I had to run around the town in a flamingo pink bikini in the dead of winter to secure his signature for town, I would do it with bells on and a smile on my face. |  |

Oh definitely. It'd only happen if KM was happy with his situation and the help he's hopefully had recently. |  |

What a Jekyll and Hyde Town stint Williams had. Scored one of my favourite goals of the season when he ran from the half way line, ghosted everyone, and scored with a finish Harry Kane would be envious of. Then by December, THAT appearance at QPR where he looked like he’d won a competition to play a game for a professional team…made Ali Dia look like a seasoned pro. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Agreed, keep seeing lots posts about wages being too high, that’s the reality of the Premier League, we probably will have players signing for 40-50k a week. If reports are to be believed our manager is on the best part of 100k a week. I see a lot of posts saying about squad players stepping up, realistically they going to be let and go and replaced as well. It’s going to be a weird summer but the change in level is much bigger and changes a lot of more things that people think. |  |

On that basis, it’s a no from me. |  | |  |

I'd see Williams as less of a punt than Sessegnon tbh. As long as his mental health is ok, once he's through his off the field issues, it's very possible that they never reoccur. With Sessegnon and his injuries, we see a lot more Jack Wilsheres and Andy Carrols than we do Van Nistelrooy and Cazorlas. I'd still take him as a punt if the wages are right but he's not one you want to be relying on just yet. [Post edited 3 Jun 2024 11:46]

Tuanzebe, with a terrible injury record, turned out to be a far better, more reliable bet this season than Williams. |  | |  |

The trouble with that you cannot use him as a benchmark. Firstly, McKenna was very careful how Tuanzebe was used. Secondly, by and large, if a player has a lot of injuries that won’t change. It’s not a lot different to taking on a player who has a history of trouble. People don’t change and even if you think they can, why take the risk even if a player is cheap because of it? Lastly, we will paying out a lot in wages given the position of the club. We need to spend the bulk of it on week in, week out players. You can take the odd risk, e.g. Tuanzebe, but not too many if you want any sort of team. |  | |  |

You obviously don't want to take too many risks but if we want to sign players above our station this summer we are likely going to have to take a couple of risks. You are more likely to be able to keep a player fit than sort addictions or change someone's engrained mindset/headspace IMO. People said for about a decade 'if you can get Michael Chopra's head right'. Hard to do though and ultimately brings a distraction/drama you don't need. [Post edited 3 Jun 2024 13:45]

What exactly is our station? Norwich and Leeds think it’s League 1. The club will have a budget. That will allow us to improve the team. How? Top prospects like Hutchinson? Washed up players like Dele Alli? High quality injury prone players? Old men? Talented trouble makers who others want rid of? Top end Championship? Lower end Prem or relegated players? For me, promising with sell on value plus a sprinkling of experience is the way to go. Whatever we look at a team or treatment room full of injury prone crocks however talented is not the answer. Nor was Chopra. The ultimate get him on the cheap trouble. A real low point along with signing people like rat face Bowyer and that animal Thatcher. |  | |  |
Ryan Sessegnon as a winger. on 19:07 - Jun 17 with 2281 views | ReusersTown | Exactly my thoughts. If we could get him and he can stay fit he's the perfect signing for us. Remember him playing against us as a teenager wide left for Fulham and he was the best player on the pitch. |  | |  |

And you think having just been released by Spurs and only played 56 games in 5 years anyone is still going to be paying him that? Absolute moot point. Really frustrates me when people put foward current wages like that when they're completely irrelevant in current context! |  | |  |
