mate of mine is a season ticket holder @ fulham.
Asked him today about Ojo:
"A bit of a disappointment really. I think the penalty payments if we don't play him are the only reason he's near the team currently"
(he also mentioned that sessgenon will probably stay in London to stay close to his twin brother in Fulham)

AC Milan have actually done that and signed Donnarumma's 27 year old brother just to keep Gianluigi happy. Fans call him "the parasite brother."
Meanwhile, everything is going wrong for Origi. Such a shame.
===========
Divock Origi's future has been thrown into further doubt this weekend as the on-loan Liverpool man had a nightmare match for Wolfsburg.
The Belgian international's temporary move to the Bundesliga initially got off to a flying start, scoring four goals in his first nine league games for his new club.
However, the 22-year-old's time in Germany has stalled since, only managing one goal in his last 16 matches in all competitions - the latest of which being a nightmare against Hoffenheim.
Wolfsburg were soundly beaten 3-0 away from home on Saturday, leaving them cemented in relegation trouble and teetering just above the relegation play-off place.
Origi managed to touch the ball just 15 times in the first 42 minutes of the match before being hauled off - not even getting to half time.
Sporting director of the Bundesliga side Olaf Rebbe spoke after the match and revealed they will be speaking to the on-loan Liverpool man about his display.
"We'll discuss behind closed doors what the reason for [his performance] was," Rebbe said after the match (via ESPN ).
"This was not a good match from Divock, you need to make that clear. We need to analyse how those 42 minutes could happen. This was not what we agreed upon during the week."
Wolfsburg had reportedly been interesting in making the striker's loan move permanent earlier in the campaign, but their interest has waned according to some reports in Germany.

That sounds bad, although I don't think it's all that unusual for an attacking player to have 15 touches in a half in an away game where they are getting comprehensively outplayed. I remember Coutinho having just a couple of touches in the 2nd half against Sevilla and yet we sold him for £142M.
I'd agree if it was a one off performance, but origi has struggled after his initial glut. Same with us too. Purple patch, then awful for months
Is he shit?
No, I think he has a lot of talent (Klopp and Rodgers both thought the same), but something is clearly going wrong. Maybe he left his home too early? Who knows, he might suddenly understand how to put the pieces together and reignite his career at 25, but probably he'll be out of contract at Liverpool by then. Would be surprised to see him here next season.
I honestly believe he's got balotelli syndrome
By that I don't mean kooky madcap lifestyle; I mean (footballing wise), he's fucking thick
How many times as a striker for us last season did he NOT run in to the box.
He has all the attributes (like balotelli) to be a star, but he lacks the footballing brain.
There might be flashes of brilliance in there, but that's out of the ordinary
Difficult to know what to make of Grujic after watching him at Brentford last night. Cardiff are a typical Warnock team; a big unit up front, some pace on the flanks, three big grocks at the back and two long throw merchants, so there was not much chance for Grujic to impress on the ball. He was dispossessed early on by Sergi Canos to set up Brentford's goal but thereafter he used his strength to break up attacks. He got lucky with a handball that should have been a penalty but wasn't seen by the officials. He's playing as a sitting midfielder, which is an area where we are arguably weak. Had he been playing there for us on Saturday he would have helped police Lukaka better than he was, but Klopp seems not to want such a player in the team and certainly he'd need to show more on the ball than he gets the chance to do at Cardiff. That said, he's getting experience in high pressure games as Cardiff maintain their promotion challenge. On the subject of Warnock, what's happened to his eyebrows? He looks like a transvestite before they've put their make up on. Not a pretty sight.
Harry Wilson is having a dream loan - surely this means he'll find himself in our pecking order. Either that or shipped out for all of next season to a PL team?
Those watching others out on loan - anyone else doing a job that might see them get towards out first team squad next year?

Unfortunately another loan move gone wrong for Kent it seems.
[article]Lee Johnson has explained the reasons behind why Liverpool’s Ryan Kent has been left out of the Bristol City side in recent weeks.
The youngster is on loan at Ashton Gate and despite impressing in glimpses, has failed to have much of an impact at the club in their push for promotion.
Kent joined the club in January and big things were expected from the tricky winger who started his season on loan at Freiburg in the Bundelsiga.
However, Johnson admitted the loan hadn’t worked out as planned with the winger left out of the Bristol City match-day squad in recent weeks.
He explained: “Ryan hasn’t done it to how we would have hoped in our team for whatever reason.
"He came into a club with big expectations and for whatever reason it hasn’t quite worked as we would have all hoped.”
The bulk of this Robins squad has been together for the last 18 months and the manager cited this as a potential reason as to why the move had failed.
“The squad understands each other and has cohesion with each other, its not always easy to break into that scenario.”
Johnson did, however, heap praise on the exciting midfielder and described him as a ‘great player’ with a big future.
“Ryan, let me tell you, is a great player. If you told me he was coming through our academy as a 20 year-old, I’d tell you he was going to be a £10m player in the next few years.”
Kent joined on loan until the end of the season with reports at the time suggesting that City would have to pay Liverpool a penalty if the youngster wasn't used in the first-team.
He has played 548 minutes for the Robins, making six starts and four substitute appearances with two assists and no goals to his name.
The former Barnsley loan man started out with some impressive performances but has faded as Johnson's side struggle for form. [/article]

I'd agree with that summary if if hull were premier league ready
But they're barely championship ready
You can be a good player in a poor team.
I definitely get your point but I think credit where it's due ... He went to a team that was on the way down and he galvanized them by being their key player and pushing them well past safety. It's a brilliant patch for him and I hope he either gets a shot or is moved on so he can try and take his career to the next level.
He's doing well for hull, I can't question that
Saying he's ready for the premier league because he's done well at hull is another thing all together
Includes a 5+min interview with Harry Wilson
If I was Steven Gerrard I'd be begging Klopp for the chance to take Wilson on loan at Rangers. He'd tear shit up in the SPL.
I fancy him to make a bigger impact than Woodburn next season
