    I'm talking about Sessegnon here.

    It wasn't so very long ago that people were berating the lad because people claimed he wasn't trying hard enough, now it seems we're half the team without him and how can we get rid of our best player?

    Is this the same group of fans who wanted to get shot of him in January - I think I'm confused, is he the most talented player we have, or a player that has the occasional good game when it suits him? Make your ****ing minds up - sick of this fair-weather bollocks.

    Or the same ones that lionised McClean when he first started, or ones that moaned about Colback, or Migs distribution.

    Oh wait - supporters prerogative to express opinions. Live with it son.

    i would hate to see sess leave. if hes offering to extend his contract we should snap his hand off. he is our most skillfull player and one of the few who can make things happen. at times last season he seemed to be the only outfield player trying. he still has a few good years ahead of him and i think we need to make sure those years are for us. i really cant belive hes been told he can leave, di canio has prased him and must be able to find a place for him in the team. it would be a huge mistake to let him walk

    PDC is the man who can get the best out of him I'm sure. Which is why it doesn't make sense. Oneil & Bruce struggled with him but now he will hopefully receive the ball in dangerous areas, just like AJ as we don't sit so deep. His irrational shooting which has let him down looked like was improving which is why I would hate to see him go. Plus he is an ever present.

    I hope sess says. Although he's hit and miss when he gets on a run of games he's unstoppable. At the back end of the season before his ban he found his form.

    I hope we keep him and find a player of his ilk to battle against for the place in the team. Just because we get players in doesn't mean players should leave and I'd be gutted if sess left.

    No one has questioned his talent. Only his consistency. He is our best outfield player and I think a lot of people including myself (and this has been my view since PDC came here) would like to see what a full season under Paolo can do for him.

    If we're questioning fans? Why do some think selling our best player is best instead of trying to install quality and depth through the ranks? However, that's nicely put without calling folk fickle.

    And as for him being told he can leave? I doubt PDC is ringing people up while they're on holiday with their family to tell them they need to find a new club. Or sell players on who are nowhere match fit so would not pass a medical (Catts) . Did everybody think the fascist thing would just go away? Or could he be public enemy number one amongst the press and it's all a deliberate attempt to unsettle our squad to get at Paolo. Apart from Migs agent, there's no proof the any of the 'outgoings' are going anywhere.

    I'm on record many times about the fact I'd have sold him last year. Quality talented player on his day undoubtedly BUT very inconsistent and our team has suffered from trying to fit him in somewhere (just what exactly is his best position).

    If we can get £6m to £8m for him I'd do it and buy a specialist striker, wide player or playmaker - all of which Sess isn't individually.

    My stance has not altered for over 12 months on this and I've had a few disagreements in the last few months with a few supporters of him on here about this very subject.

    No one player is bigger than the team.

    If Sess goes, he goes. So long as we get a replacement in without leaving ourselves short like we did with Judas I cant really complain.

    I think the point is Sess' divides supporters opinions. Some see him as a world beater, for me, and I have been consistent on this. He flatters to deceive. Yes he can beat two or three men but his final pass or shot is often woeful. That said if he had that strength in his game he wouldn't play for us anyway.

    The first 25 minutes against the nags was an awesome display of what sess is capable of, how many times have we seen that? Trying very hard to think of another, fulham away? He is a headache because he is so good in comparisum to last seasons squad that it was impossible to leave him out, is he better than what we are bringing in? Who knows, pdc, de fanti and anglerfish, thats who, if they see fit to do whatever, for the right money, i'm for it, selling in desperation we do not, hendo, mig, sess, profits, this isnt being held to ransom it seems good business, slightly scary i must admit but we have to ride it all out

    Agree with this.
    Biggest attributes, ability to manipulate the ball, pace
    Biggest faults, inconsistency, fails to look up for a better placed colleague when in possession, poor shooting

    Like him as a player but confident that should he be sold he will be replaced.
