Probably nonsense but would be an ideal signing if fit as can cover both sides.0 -
thought he was one of our better players last year but seems injury prone - not overly fussed we re sign him3

The injuries are a definite concern. As a player I think he would be a great addition.DOUCHER said:thought he was one of our better players last year but seems injury prone - not overly fussed we re sign him0 -
Ideally I would like another left footed defender. Maybe one who can play LCB as well as Left Back.
I like CBT going further forward and feel he needs to concentrate on that rather than the wing back role. Terrel Thomas is okay on the left but I would prefer a natural leftie.
We probably need two more strikers as well.
I feel other incomings will depend on who leaves.3 -
It would be odd if we moved on Egbo (who is a talented Full back but has injury issues) and then signed Sessegnon (who is ALSO a talented full back with injury issues.)DOUCHER said:thought he was one of our better players last year but seems injury prone - not overly fussed we re sign him
Sess could theoretically cover both sides but can we actually count on his availability? I'd be wary of risking it.1 -
I think Sessegnon has a much higher ceiling than Egbo.thenewbie said:

If his knee is manageable in the short term and curable in the medium term Sessegnon would be great addition. Big IF.
Last season the big problem wasn't that he missed games, it was we had no one else to play when he didn't. If generally he played Saturdays and Asiimwe midweek it would probably be a great thing for both of them.0 -
I saw him after the game. He was 100% there.redbuttle said:

Agreed, havinng Sess and Assiimwe rotating at RWB would be execellent as Sess can also cover LWB if needed.Cafc43v3r said:

we also don’t want to rely on putting too much pressure on Assiimwe to perform week in week out all season at 18, very few players are able to do that.9 -
Another point is that I don't think we ever saw the best of Sess, hes a right footed attacking right back that was asked to play left back all season and still did a good job, however he was restricted to coming inside every time he went forward to use his favoured foot. Playing on the right will allow him to go past a man and deliver, something he was rarely able to do last year through no fault of his own.19

One long term injury and that could be the result.
I'm not sure either way, by the way - Sess is a good player, but that's the concern, especially if we sell Egbo.2 -
Egbo and McGrandles were Garner signings and DH has his own ideas thats why JOJO was sold very quickly. - He definitely wants his own players and characters in there.3
-
Sess would be a great signing.. Despite his knee, he still got through enough games, and showed class. If we can rotate our wingback/fullbacks, going to help us over the season13
-
Are any signings close?0
-
If Sess's knee issues are sorted then it's one hell of a signing and slightly surprised he's not got a championship club.0
-
The injury issue he has isn't a long term one is it? By that I dont think it would cause him to miss months at a time unless we ocer play him. Ie he can play Saturdays but just needs managing.North Lower Neil said:

He still played 33 league games last season which isn't bad at all, we are in a position to manage him better this season as well.1 -
Can't we sign Sess and keep Egbo too? I'm greedy.6

To be fair Stockley at the start of his time with us was pretty good. By the end he was dreadful.CAFCDAZ said:
not for me, just gives me Stockley vibes.Callumcafc said:
(page 281)Callumcafc said:Sam Cosgrove anyone? On ridiculous wages at Brum so would either need to be a loan or he takes a big pay cut.
Reams on ITTV saying we’re in for Cosgrove as a target man option.3 -
He played 33 league games and 38 across all competitions. I'm not sure where injuries has come from, hasn't he had one injury which has now been operated on and hopefully sorted?cafcfan1990 said:

it's a squad game and if we have sess, egbo and Edun fighting it out for two starting places, that's a good position to be in2 -
The problem with signing players who have to have their minutes managed, is that it significantly reduces the manager's flexibility. If Sess can't play midweeks, what happens if Asiimwe is injured, suspended or just out of form?
It's the same problem we have with Chuks. Even if he was fit and able to play 20 minutes every game, that still means you need a starting striker AND cover for that starting striker.2 - Sponsored links:

I'll be honest with you if we finish the transfer window with Sess, Edun and CBT as the 3 options we have for LWB, I can live with that, especially if we're putting the money "saved" into getting a top striker at this level1
-
Would be happy with Cosgrove as a backup but imagine he is on good money at Brum so money may be better spent elsewhere0
-
Thing is, Edun is surely a first choice pick once fit and looked handy on Saturday. Asimwe/Egbo have the right flank covered.
Where the hell is CBT going to play then? He was our most attacking threat on Saturday. Can't see how both Edun and CBT fit into this team but both deserve to.1 -
Has Sess had an operation on his knee? I think its just a problem that has to be managed.Todds_right_hook said:

I think Manny’s time is up, more instinct than anything, but as a former RB, I am sure DH will have a pretty clear idea of what he wants and needs from that position more than any other. I really like Manny, would rather him stay, but having watched all of the pre season games, not all live mind you, I have to say that Manny felt a bit off the boil or less effective than I would have expected. Why? No idea and I certainly do not think he is in the cross hairs of a dickhead test, but something is amiss and may already know that he is moving on when the right option arrives.
If Sess does come in, I think he will be rotated with Nathan and I find that pretty exciting.I think Edun will be rotated with CBT (whether we agree CBT can play LWB or not).I reckon it is CB, CAM and STR (perhaps x 2) thereafter that we will pursue.
Sorry only views rather than concrete rumours, I am as hungry for the latter as the rest of you.10 -

Good. Had he been only part there, I'd have suspected a serious injury 😉RedArmySE7 said:

Definitely need an attacking midfielder who can get goals/assists. To compete with Fraser. He is good but goes missing in periods of the season. Needs competition and I don’t think payne is a top 6 player - we wouldn’t miss him if he moved on (providing we replace).
other than that… the obvious:
1 x striker
1 x RWB (bye bye Egbo)
1 x JRS replacement (winger who covers another position like CF maybe)1 -
Live with it? I'd be delighted with it!!sam3110 said:I'll be honest with you if we finish the transfer window with Sess, Edun and CBT as the 3 options we have for LWB, I can live with that, especially if we're putting the money "saved" into getting a top striker at this level
