Am I missing something here, what amazing youth talent has Poch brought through the ranks at Spurs? Kane was about before Poch, although he gave him a run of games, Winks maybe, anyone else?
If you were wanting to play three at the back with wing backs he's probably the best youngster around for the wing back role.
I don't think he's a winger at all. He will turn out to be a good attacking left back IF he can learn how to defend.
Thought he would be cheaper than that.
Really? He cost half of what Wan Bissaka cost, and a year and a half younger.
He is in a very different situation though. AWB was defensively the best FB in the PL last season whereas Ryan pretty much had a mare and looked terribly out of his depth. Despite the difference in price it is a fair comment to say he is the bigger gamble as he has not shown he is worth 25m yet whereas AWB justified his price tag. This is not to knock Spurs because as said above, he definitely has talent and Poch is the ideal man to channel it and so provided he puts in the effort he could well end up looking a bargain in a couple of seasons, it is just that there is a risk with him that he might be a bust.
Or 12 months on his contract and light years away from AWB's performance in the PL last year.
I don't think you can judge him on a relegation battled season, to a decent Palace side with a decent manager at the helm. £25M for a English player who clearly has good potential is a bargain.
Yeah, I thought you would have got him cheaper considering you gave them a player as well, and the fee is rising to £30mil with add ons.
He was in last year of his contract plus playing for relegated team. so good deal for Fulham and spurs. It'd be interesting to see how he develops.
1 year left on his contract.
My point is he's is a snip at £25M, Im not knocking Wan Bissaka's talent here, I think he will be a very good signing.
I know he was, £25M for him is still a bargain IMO.
It’s not if he has a year left on his contract. It’s just good business both ends.
He's an upgrade on your current leftback options regardless of the cost to acquire him.
He's good cover right down the left hand side, and hopefully Poch can develop him. Time will tell.
He was only brought as cover? I assumed he would walk into the first team.
Yeah wouldn't say he is a bargain however he has a lot of potential and should become a top player (hopefully) so it will likely appear cheap in the long run.Should be a good signing, no way it's a bargain though.
Different types of players, I think Sessegnon might be better as a right winger long term cutting in. Not sure about him defensively as a full back. Either way Wan-Bissaka is an automatic first choice whiloe Sessegnon is still developing.
I'd say he will rotate with Rose/Davies and possibly higher up the pitch also. He will get plenty of games I'd expect but probably too early to say if he will be first choice - probably not this season.
He's also half the player
Arguably has much higher potential though.
Not that I've seen no although he's not a FB so it's like comparing apples with oranges
