doesn't make the bench today.
18 years olds that play in the prem are as rare as hen teeth. We wont see this boy for 3-4 years. We probably won't see Sessegnon regularly for 2-3.
Not sure how people can get excited about watching unproven kids, these two boys are future investments, nothing more.
It will be 2-3 years. He wasn't a guaranteed regular starter in a d0gshit Fulham side because he, like most 18 year olds can't hack the premier league in this day and age. He will be lucky to get the nod in the league cup with the size of our squad unless we have significant injuries.Re: Sessegnon, is that 2 or 3 weeks, months or (lol) years?

Have you seen his premier league highlights reel? No, because he didn't have any....
This isn't the kind of news that encourages you that it was the right thing to do to sign him in the first place. Not even making the matchday squad for his hometown club who know exactly he's about as a player doesn't inspire confidence that he'll eventually reach a level that could see him challenge for a place at Spurs. Hope there's some kind of one-off circumstance (e.g. injury/fitness issue etc) that would explain this.
You seem to know a lot about it. How many starts did under 19's make in the Premier league last year?What a shite post. Well done.

Ok, so you, and others all have an opinion, but no one actually has a fucking clue.Fuck knows, pal - how many 17 year olds have won player of the season in the Championship? Your post was typed-up dog-shit, hence its reception.
Can we recall Clarke if Leeds agree

11 players under 19 started PL games last season. 5 of them started only 1 game, suggesting emergency. Only 2 started more than 5 games, Sessegnon being one of them obviously.
So it wasn't shit at all was it. It makes perfect sense because as I said, unless they are physically abnormal with Rooneys power , or Owens pace, you just don't see them impact the premier league. It is on another level physically.
It was a feat for him to win that. He will be a player for sure. But one of the best 10 teams in Europe and the Championship could not be further apart. He isn't ready for us. Everyone here will see that for themselves over the next few months.
Not our problem how many loanees they have - Jack needs to play whenever hes fit and that should have been a condition of the loan.I was speaking to my Leeds mate again about him not being on the bench and he told me it’s not because he’s out of favour or anything it’s because you can only have 6 loan players in the matchday squad or something g. Their back up keeper is a loan player so they have to have him, then they have some Brighton CB on loan and they’ve got issues in defence so they need him. Then they have that big signing from wolves but he’s apparently initially on a loan. Then named a couple of other loan players they’ve got who play in positions that they are more in need of so when you consider Clarke, who’s another loan player, they just can’t accommodate him at present.
I obviously have no idea how accurate any of this is but he’s pretty knowledgable in general especially with Leeds (as you’d expect) so I’ve no reason to doubt him.
