Sessegnon would be a fantastic signing to replace Taylor, loan for a year with a fixed fee option at the end. I wouldn't take him as an alternative to Rashica though, totally different players.

Would love to get hold of Sessegnon if only to piss off Levy but would the London umbilical be too much of a stretch?

I get the impression with Rashica that we made an enquiry over the summer, but for whatever reason it's not progressed. Werder Bremen and/or Rashica's agent have then been publicising it, presumably in an attempt to get some interest from bigger clubs. However, so far none have bitten.

Ones with longer names.

Wylan Cyprien linked according to Sky. French attacking midfielder, aged 25.   No, nor me.

I’m not completely convinced that Milot Rashica even actually exists.

I can honestly say that until a few weeks ago, I'd never heard of her.

Apparently he’s nice.

Sorry, let me read that again. Apparently he plays for Nice.

According to Sportslens the Brum Mail say we've met Rashica's release clause, but there's a hold-up about wages? Is this/can this be true?

Is Sessegnon even an option?

Not seen him linked. But Bale coming in has pushed him even further down the pecking order so would be worth asking the question.

Sessegnon is a very talented player as he demonstrated in the championship. Hasn't happened for him at Spurs but is more than good enough to get back on track. Would cover LB/LM. Kind of player we should be looking to loan with an option to buy or buy outright.

Yes quite.
Demonstrated as talent in the championship.
Has shown nothing whatsoever at Premier league level to suggest he's cut above anything .

Has failed miserably Premier league so what's all the noise!
Also left back is not a priority so it's all a waste of suggesting.

Because it's midfield and attack that's clearly the upgrade and reported links.

Sessegnon isn't sure what position to be played.
Granted he's fly's forward but did nothing with Fulham and can't get near spurs team.

Maybe in January but no not now.
Let him develop in championship loan then swoop in January.
Far too risky to be taking up a loan on him when plenty of cover on left back.
Hause Taylor and Target

Can agree he has potential to be a good left wing back but that's all it is right now for me.

Neither of the three you mentioned are remotely good enough. I can't recall Hause ever playing left back for us, certainly not in the prem.

In the current climate it could be something like we've agreed the wage in principle, but he doesn't want to take a hit on that with a deferred/ reduced payment if the season is curtailed etc.

Bremen have asked their players to take a pay cut and that could be one of the reasons he's keen to bail in the first place.

All speculation on my part.

I reckon that the fact we’ve walked away is all smoke and mirrors. And that he’ll be announced on Tuesday... or something like that.

The Martinez deal got held up because of a loyalty payment he was owed from Arsenal and I've known this to happen before. Maybe something like that?
