Once touted as the best of the next generation of players Ryan Sessegnon seems to be on a downward spiral and will probably drift down the leagues … Shame

Signing for Spurs does that for your career

[spud_gun]

We could have signed him but Klopp wasn;t sure he wanted to move north, So we got Robertson instead.

I bet most would have preferred Ryan at the time!

We signed Robbo a couple of seasons before Sessegnon joined Spurs.

At the time we signed Robbo, Sessengnon would have been 16 or 17

He stayed at Fulham for a couple of years after our initial interest.

We had talks when he was 17, But don't think Klopp was overly impressed and we got Robbo instead.

Wolves have a +4 GD despite scoring 21 goals in the league so far this season

Neil Warnock has said Cesar Azpilicueta is lucky to have won all the trophies he has as a player at Chelsea.

Yes, that is the same Neil Warnock who can list Hartlepool United Player of the Season 1971/72 as his biggest achievement in a 13 year playing career.

He's not wrong though is he ? He didn't play at a higher level but it doesn't make his opinion wrong either.

Is the implication that Azpilicueta was carried by a better group of players than him though? That would be unfair wouldn't it?

[Doc_Piptorious]

Colin ****** trying to suggest that someone's football reputation is greater than their actual abilities?


Go find a mirror if you want a prime example, you saddle sniffing ****wit.

[ChesterDave]

He's not wrong though is he ?

I would say probability. He's been a decent player for Chelsea consistently.

True. We should probably look at his managerial success. The lack of it may be a clue as to him being a poor judge of a players quality

Absolutely. He's been there almost 10 years, won 9 trophies including 2 PL and 1 CL, and survived 6 or 7 managers. If he wasnt a decent player he'd have been long gone.

Gel-gate If this was us it would be massive news by the way

Based on that then your opinion on players is worthless as you’ve not managed a football team at any decent level.

He’s a bellend but trying to justify his opinion is worthless due to his playing/managerial career is daft

I'm not masquerading as a ****ing football manger though am I.

I think he's saying that, regardless of who he is, Colin is entitled to an opinion.

That said, it's a really unfair opinion and I think a big chunk of football fans would probably disagree (with the opinion) regardless of who said it
