Sesko video for those who haven't seen him like me - looks like he's got "great feet for a big man" and some flair and trickery up his sleeve - also like the fact he seems to be able to finish first time instead of needing a touch to set himself. Looks like he can play across the front 3 which is what we need.

Only question mark is can he cut it in a bigger better league. He's young so not a starting XI type player I'd imagine but one to develop and could be a good option off the bench.

If we were to sign him I can see us loaning him out to RB Salzberg for the ayear as part of the deal. For the good of the development of the player it would be for the best but it wont solve our current striker "issues"

I think Murphy could be sold on tbh - Miggy seems to have Howe's trust, ASM is a sure starter, Fraser is good cover but Murphy is probably 4th choice Winger and 4th choice RB as well behind Trippier, Manquillo and Krafth.

The lads also only 19 so doesn't have to be registered. Free's up space elsewhere e.g. Defence - we have 6 FB's and Fede and Lascelles making 5 CB's at present so could allow more of them to be registered.

Thought that only applied to homegrown players (English or been through our youth system)
 
Sorry to clarify. Adeyemi was at RB Salzberg and tore the league up last season, previously he had been on loan to Leifering (in Austrain second division) and bagged 15 goals in 35. He's likely to do very well at Borussia Dortmund next season, who have bought him as a replacement for Haaland (they also had Haller but he's now not going ot be involved).

Sesko is also at RB Salzberg and has spent the last season on loan at Leifering (getting 22 in 44 games) and is lined up to be the Adayemi replacement for RB Salzberg. He's following the exact same path and currently doing just as well. He's a year younger and a year behind. Personally I'd be surprised if RBS let him go, they don't need the money.

My concern is that we overpay on the basis he's "as good as Adeyemi" and yet he hasn't had the year at the top flight with European football exposure etc. I can see us paying more than we should as, like I say, RBS don't need to sell.

My main issue is that we aren't doing this enough, so I'm DELIGHTED with this business. It's too obvious to say "ooooh, look at Diaby, he's had a great season let's buy him." Other clubs do it far, far better than we do - Leeds with Raphinha, Philips, Harrison, Wolves with Neto, Jota, Jimenez, Leicester with Soyuncu, Mahrez, Vardy, Kante, etc. We have to be in this area for now if we want to be truly sustainable and progressive.

So, yeah, I don't know who he is. But he's a 19 year old, highly regarded, on the same path as full German International Adeyemi, Haaland, Auba, etc. This is exactly who we should be getting. I'd rather we get him, Doku, Madueke and so on to come in and support the team and learn. I think Isak could be immense, but at £70m?! I'd rather pick up 7 x £10m youngsters to really bulk out the next gen quality 'cos apart from Anderson and maybe White/Turner-Cooke there's **** all there.

99.999999999% sure its any U21's but don't screenshot me on that....
Any u21 doesn't need registered.
I concur. Though also am not holding myself out as an expert.
