I think this signing was a very wise move. Sounds very Milneresque. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 3 hours ago, Keyblade said: Think he might even start on the weekend. We really struggle with Southampton's pressing, and he might just be a better option than Barkley in midfield to counter that. it gives us options to see how the game is progressing.....we can make proper changes now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 2 hours ago, MaVilla said: yeah, i wonder if next season we might look at a 433, with Luiz the 6 (or another DM if Luiz leaves), and McGinn/Sanson the two 8s. That would be a very combative midfield in terms of pressing, running, hustling etc. or even the 4231 with Sanson the 10, but a 10 that also does a mcginn style pressing job. Luiz won't leave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gives a quite smart impression too. Yes he could have turned up and done a Joey Barton and spoke french in a english accent, fantastic english from him to be fair you wouldn’t find an english player moving to france and doing that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidlewis Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 7 minutes ago, Vive_La_Villa said: Sounds very Milneresque. Absolutely and you need one or two in the squad to unlock positions and allow Dean some flexibility. great signing and the SmarterScout tweets show he can do the holding role or the forward role. perfect to give people rest and flexibility on players with yellow cards etc. might have come too early but the Burnley game will be easier to settle in than Southampton.

He was first rumoured back in December 2019. And anyone who did any research, like say the many threads on this site and others, about who would you like to see Villa sign? Will see me repeatedly having put Sanson’s name up! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so sad that at a time when we not only have a very good squad, but also a very likeable one, we can not give them the feeling of 40k fans singing there name and showing them some love. I can't wait until it's safe enough to get back. we can show our love in other ways..... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has physicality and he can play...He describes himself as a "Warrior" As Frasier would say ...." What more can a man ask for" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 5 hours ago, Johnnyp said: He doesn't. Need to get away from the mentality that any player thinks they are a shoe in. He makes the training sessions improve and everyone in that midfield go at it for a starting berth. That's what you want. precisely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeps Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 3 hours ago, Kiwivillan said: Having thought about it for a few days and watched several YT clips I think Mcginn and Sanson in front of Luiz would be better balanced team than with Barkley at 10 and still very attacking. Sanson is a great signing in that it covers potential return of Barkley and less so Luiz to parent clubs. I’ll have all 4 thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Very impressed with his interview. It is good to see that he has been watching us since the links and liked what he saw. Also good to see him saying he plays like a warrior. All good so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 So pleased with this. I expect a ferocious battle to start with Luiz/McGinn/Sanson all in the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a midfield 3 of Luiz, McGinn and Sanson works in his absence he'll be getting bench splinters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Just watched a couple more videos of him and he is faaaassstttt.

Happy days I did a “Morgan Sanson FIFA 21” google search to see what his rating is like... on futhead, Marseille fans are complaining that his speed isn’t fast enough and that he’s the fastest player in the squad. I like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
