It was quite interesting reading Fulham's owner say they were willing to keep Sessegnon and let him go on a free, knowing he'd help them this season. I hope we get this with Toby and Eriksen. Even if they don't sign new deals, they're going to be massive to us this season. - by Glassy - 13 August 2019 12:35PM

He only would have gone on a free if he went abroad. They would have got a tribunal fee if he moved to an English team - by RickyTFC - 13 August 2019 01:04PM

How would they get a fee if his contract expired? Aren't the tribunal fees only for players you get before they get their first pro contract? - by Glassy - 13 August 2019 01:10PM

"Where a professional player, under the age of 24, has been offered a new contract by his club (subject to certain requirements that the offer must meet set out in Rule 64.3 of the Football League Rules) and he rejects that offer in order to take up the opportunity to sign for another club, compensation will be payable." - by RJM - 13 August 2019 01:19PM

Cool thank. Didn't realise that rule was in place. - by Glassy - 13 August 2019 02:21PM

No, otherwise Burnley wouldn’t have got a tribunal fee when Danny Ings went to Liverpool at the end of his contract>>> - by RickyTFC - 13 August 2019 01:19PM

Because of his age I think. - by RJM - 13 August 2019 01:17PM

And yet they sold him and then complained we hadn't given them enough time to replace him - by Jon thinks their owner is full of shit - 13 August 2019 12:40PM

Although I agree, reports are suggesting we didn't meet their valuation until deadline day. Which was £25m. If we hadn't have met that, then he'd still be at Fulham. - by Glassy - 13 August 2019 12:47PM
