We should try and get him now and loan him back.
Would probably cost around 30 million right now I suppose.

Ryan Sessegnon
- Thread starter Zoo
- Start date
When I look at Sessegnon I put him in a different category to Gomes/Sancho/Foden etc. as he is having genuine competitive league experience. But you are right, there actually is a lot of English potential out there. But we shouldn't hold back in signing him if we have the chance.
He is the furthest on in his career for sure, although Sancho played his third 90 minutes in a row for Dortmund today and Mount has established himself in Vitesse's first team. That said, Sessegnon is the only one we have a realistic chance of signing.
Wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy Fulham?
If he's a left-footed left back who has scored lots of goals once moved to LW, is he just a 2nd Gareth Bale and the answer to our RW question?
The potential of the likes of Sancho/Gomes/Ryan Sessegnon/Foden/Reiss Nelson playing alongside Kane/Alli/Sterling/Rashford.
England’s ‘potential’ (and I highlight the word ‘potential’ as nothing is guaranteed) is really promising.

Eh? Says Ryan Sessegnon on Whoscored and just watched the goal on twitter.
Steven is on the bench.
On my app they showed his brother initially, now it is Ryan
Agree. Not to forget Greenwood, although a year younger! Hudson-Odoi looks good too. Not a massive fan of Alli though. Hasn't ever played well for England and has played like shit this season. I'd bet on him displaced on the future.
You forgot Lingard but true, England will dominate in the future
‘Dominate’? No chance. England will still be shite because it’s England. Have a look at the teams over the past 20-30 years, the names on paper mean feck all!
Don't know why people compare previous generations to the last. Spain was just like England until 2008 (failures and nearly men).
I say nearly men, fact is though England are only 1 of 7 countries to ever win the World Cup, so not always been failures.
But when you look at England now (all levels), England u17's and u20's are World Cup champions, the FA invest more than any other country at grassroots, Dele Alli is globally renowed as one of the most exciting talents in football, Raheem Sterling won the golden boy award and Harry Kane is widely regarded as the best centre forward in world football.
So people can hate all they want, but one day England will get it right and signs are promising now, if people can't see or won't admit that, then i feel they have other agendas towards England or anything English.
The hyperbole in this post is exactly why we never win anything
England have never had this level of talent coming through. We arguably had the best season ever seen in youth football. Between the U17s, u19, u20 and u21, they lost only two games, one was the U17s Euro final and one was the u21 Euro semi final, both losses were on penalties. We became only the second nation in history to win the U17 and u20 World Cup and the u19s won the Euros. A shadow u20 side won the Toulon Tournament as well. This all was with using no recycled players in any tournaments like a lot of countries do.
There are good reasons to be optimistic.
Yeah. I really couldn't give two shits about England but there's an amazing team coming through.
8 by my count? England, Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay.
Yeah your right mate, forgot to include Spain 2010.
It's called 'optimism' people from all countries have this (big and small) seems people don't like England to have this though.
I'm optimistic, but every single player you mention has won sweet FA and have hardly been inspiring in and England shirt. I also don't agree with your assessments of Alli and Kane.
The "golden generation" is an opportunity, not a given that were going to improve as a national football team. A great opportunity, but feck me we have Gareth Southgate currently managing England and not long ago the FA thought it was a cracking idea to employ big Sam. We have a long way to go.
You’re forgetting Rhian Brewster, absolute goal machine too.
The FA projected 2022 as an aim to win the World Cup and at the time that seemed ambitious, but now it doesn’t seem so outrageous.....
This is the transfer forum, please use/create a thread in the football forum to discuss his performances.
Created a new thread. Shutters.
Please let this happen! 
A bit sceptical, haven't seen him play, so maybe that, but I don't think that is ready for the jump yet, if we want him as first choice for CL and PL title run
The plan is most probably to loan him back for 1-2 years
He’s 17-18 and been the best player in that league by far and is only going to get better, he’s got the potential to ridiculous levels of great and if we can sign him then it’s a complete no brainer to do so.
You haven't seen him play but you don't think he's ready?
Quality analysis.
Brilliant stuff.
If i am not wrong, if we want him this summer will be best moment to go and buy him, because if Fulham ends up in play offs and fail to get promotion through it, they wont have any other way to gather money for next season to invest due this season was last under parachute payment.
Edit: Other player to be sold would be TK, nevermind that some players are on loan and they will return at the end of season.

He's been playing mostly as left winger now, correct? Seems a bit pointless with Sanchez, Martial, and Rashford all ahead of him and the latter two only being a couple years older than him.
Probably a replacement if Martial leaves. Mourinho would never play him at left back.
Yea, haven't seen a full live game. But as for the age, coming from upper midtable Championship team, English coenficent and everything on his shoulders, I don't think he is ready to deal with it all yet, at our level.
I just want us to bag him.
It's been a while since United scooped some quality English talent.
Sign.
The problem in past was that most of the better players in the English team more or less plays in the same position which cancels them out . The current upcoming squad however, seems to interchange quite well.
Well I was on board with this transfer, seemed like a good old SAF buy: young quality English talent. But you know what, I hadnt thought of that English coenficent stuff on his shoulders, even when watching him play, live, 90 mins, flesh. Not our level.
Just sign him, I’ve watched a few Fulham games, he’s fast, great control, loves a counter attack and works hard when the other team has it. Probably the best player in the championship and that’s no easy league for a young lad. He will ease into top class football.
