Real still makes signings like Asenjo, Ceballos,etc.
He's just turned 17 ffs and had a fantastic season. Wonder what you were thinking of Dele Alli at the time.
There's no harm in investing in a kid. Besides, with Luke Shaw's track record we may actually need him.
Idiotic
United have always invested in youth, it's part of our DNA. Now some fans just want Galacticos. Pathetic.
Going by your username, I don't trust your judgement.
Don't feel the troll, not sure how's not been banned yet. He's always wumming.
Yeah, I think we need to make the occasional small investment in up and coming promising youngsters. They can't be our big buys, but having one a year or so to compliment our big signings like Pogba, Lukaku, etc. Is a smart move.
Teams like Real, Bayern, Juve etc still make smaller purchases of young players they hope have the skill to breakthrough.
Great young talent. His older brother is my friend and the last time I asked if Ryan would ever come to United he said he wouldn't while Shaw was there. It's useful to bear in mind that this was in 2016 though, so who knows?
If we do sign him then we should definitely loan him back.

I just don't rate him and don't see much to justify the hype. I could be wrong though I guess, and I certainly wouldn't trust my own judgement over Jose. If he wants him, fair enough.
I don't understand anyone whose actually watched him not rating him and being unable to see the bundles of potential he clearly has.
Agreed, saw Fulham once last year and was class.
Yeah, such an obvious WUM. Every comment is something ridiculous but people haven't caught on yet I guess
Surely competition to sign him will be incredibly fierce if it's obvious he's a potential superstar. That it seems there's not a huge amount of interest suggests not everyone in footballing circles agrees with you.
Like I said though, if Jose does want him then I won't be mouthing on here against it. So far his signings for us have been quite magnificent.
There has been stories all summer linking him with moves to big clubs, literally all summer.
Surely a better option than Darmian (good player but not fast) and Shaw(Injury prone) He should stay at fulham though. Smart to develop there and move only when he's 22 or 23
He's only just turned 17, I'd be surprised if he's still at Fulham in 5 years time. But you're right that he needs to develop still, we should definitely loan him back for a season if we signed him. They might not be as willing to play him though.
Stupid post. Madrid made a similar type of deal when they signed Asensio.
Sign him!
Who are some of the big clubs? Amazingly I've missed this if it's true. I'm not accusing you of lying btw! I genuinely haven't heard much about him on transfer rumours and twitter accounts from the usual suspects many of us follow.
Based on the reactions to my post on here, I'm definitely going to have make a conscious effort to watch him when he plays on TV next. It seems everyone else is unanimously in favour of us buying him, and that doesn't happen often on here. Hmmm.
Buy then loan back?
He's more of a strong runner rather than short burst of pace or explosive like people want to believe. More like long strides runner. Technically he is not as neat as Shaw, but works really hard and very good in attack. Seems very intelligent too considering his young age.
As much as we love the Griezmanns, Pogbas kind of signings.. Get some wonderkid signings as well, we missed that.

@Panixs, a newbie, has this to say:
Hello Fulham fan here you so I hope you don't mind me posting this and giving a bit of insight from our side. We are in a bit of a catch 22 with Ryan at the moment, do we sell now for a decent fee for a up and coming prospect or wait a few years and potentially get a massive fee if he does well or less if he doesn't progress. I see people make comparisons to Bale all the time and I see what they are getting at his worst position is probably LB and he gets better the further forward he plays, so LWB and AML are perfect for him. I think with time he will start moving further forward and not even be considered a LB, Not sure how this positioning would fit with your current tactics etc.
His pace is ridiculous even watching from the stands sometimes I lose track of him and suddenly he's at the other end of the pitch bursting past the oppositions fullback. I think he would prefer to stay local as all his family is from around here and his twin brother (a RB) plays for our academy as well. If your option to buy has the offer to loan back even if its just one season I think our board would favour that but we have just signed Rafa Soares on loan for a year so that might have been a preemptive move on our part knowing Ryan is going elsewhere.

He would be a perfect 4th signing
Would be a good signing. Might also negotiate with Spurs if we're after Rose, to not compete for his acquisition.
Didn't Fulham have another kid named Roberts who was supposed to be the next big thing and completely disappeared now?
He's at City. Was on loan at Celtic last year and played quite well.
Thanks @Akshay for posting this and for the like that lets me respond here.
Just thought to add that personally I want to keep him at Fulham as I don't want him to go to a big club and sit in the reserves/youth team for the next 4 years and not progress. Unfortunately we are having a bit of a crisis up front at the moment (no goals in three games) and I think the board might cash in on Sessegnon to get some money for a striker.
Well, perhaps. But he might be very reluctant to move so far away from London, which would be understandable for a 17 year-old.
Not if he has a chance to force himself into the team at United. Highly doubt that. So how about that wager, you think you'll finish above us this season?

I'm not betting anymore on this forum. Two of the posters against whom I've won bets then disappeared without paying. Not saying that you would, but twice bitten thrice shy.
If the price is the choice of a tagline, it's hard to escape paying up..
Name and shame!
Even so, thanks, but no thanks.
Wise man for not betting, no point going into a no win bet.He's not been named in any England youth squad, which indicates that a transfer could be happening.
Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs have all been linked with him. Give your head a wobble, united has a tradition of investing in youth
Used to love signings like this guy, but these days even the prospects cost a shit load so it's much higher risk. If I were him and stay and keep playing for two more years then move.
5th
Maybe keep him tbh. He offers something we aren't getting out of our current options of Blind/Darmian. Unless Mourinho's willing to count on Shaw for the season.
Think we should really sign this guy.
