They few times he played for us, he looked pretty decent. Wasn't a fish out of water like Drinkwater. You'd think there was a French club looking to sign him - especially with all the talent that leaves that country every year that needs replacing. A bit of an enigma his situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyjavfc Posted June 29, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted June 29, 2022 It’ll be a shame if Sansón leaves without ever getting a proper run in the team but you have to trust the managers assessment, and all evidence suggest neither Dean Smith or Gerrard rate him enough to give him games. I remember the chat around this transfer at the time was that while Sanson wasn’t a player we we’re in great need of it was a good deal and a ‘clever’ piece of business with Marseille in financial trouble. It feels like transfers like that rarely turn out well, I remember the Donny Van de Beek to Utd and Minamino to LPool transfers were talked about in a similar tone. It’s obviously better to buy for squad need rather than good business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying that he isn’t talented, in fact I’d have loved to see more of him. But I’m not arrogant enough to think that I know more about football than 2 sets of professional coaching setup’s that have disagreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think every manager gets their selections correct then? Also, managers pick players that are best for a team's current system/situation. Doesn't necessarily mean he's better.

Tom13 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 He's going to leave without Gerrard being asked about his situation once isn't he. Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way yes it would be a shite return. not to mention the fact that it's incredibly unlikely he's actually available for £5m. You can't even buy a Harry Winks for that much, we might as well just keep him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, managers pick players that are best for a team's current system/situation. Doesn't necessarily mean he's better. No, but the fact that both managers don't like/trust/rate him is telling. I'd back Gerrard's judgement on what a decent midfielder looks like, as well as McAllister as his number 2, after seeing him train every day, over people on an internet message board. I'm not saying Sanson is a bad player, but he's clearly not the answer for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll believe it when I see him ITSOTGP before I start making any suggestions of wiping that grin off Lange's face.

And 2 set of professional management groups have thought McGinn is better. Yet plonkers on here think they’ve seen enough in the odd 20min cameos to decide they know better.
