I think Jack is or we buy an AM. Sanson will add to our depth more with mcginn and Luiz I'd imagine. Hopefully he replaces mcginn. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever the plan for him is won’t have changed, but as his comments show the few games he’s had were valuable in adjusting mentally to the PL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love for us to help their financial situation even more by taking Kamara for a cash only discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ll have to fight than one out with the Koopmeiners fans, but they both look like good prospects to me. If they were roughly the same price who would fans choose? ....I’m guessing Sanson would pick Kamara. /stillonthread 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 As we haven't really seen him much in the second half of the season. What position do you guys think he was brought in for? Competition for McGinn at No8? Or is he meant to be our new number 10 and keeping Jack wide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not been brought in as a 10 I don't think. Image below outlines his defensive stats relative to other midfielders in the top 5 leagues in Europe which read extremely well. He also played in a double-pivot at times for OM so can only imagine he'd be playing there for us in a 4-2-3-1 or as a box to box 8 in a 4-3-3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Assume he was bought in on the grounds of being really good value and offering us insurance if Luiz went back to City. Possibly also with the intention of pushing McGinn further forward in place of Barkley. And the fact we play a double pivot and he's very good in that role. Gives us chance to freshen uo and rotate the players playing there. Be interesting to see what midfield we start next season with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 We need him so McGinn doesn’t have to play every minute. We need a squad we can rotate through the season and he will be a useful box to box midfielder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having the personnel to switch formation during a game has been a problem, or go toe to toe with high energy and more physical teams, the Leeds and Burnley’s. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted May 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 26, 2021 The less people see him play, the more they don't " see where he fits in '.

But Smith seems to want to play McGinn every single minute. Not sure how Smith will manage the #8 position with McGinn, Luiz, Sanson and Ramsey all pretty much fighting for that one spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterw Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 He came with a big reputation in France, so getting him in seems to be a positive, and at a reduced rate. its difficult for any player to come in mid-season into a new team/country/culture and be expected to hit the ground running. Not many achieve it, so will be excited to see what he can do next season. I saw enough from him to expect more and once he gets confidence in himself and gets used to the higher intensity I think he'll be an upgrade on McGinn.

Phil Silvers Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 We have 3 McGinns, the good the avg and the bad, Sanson is either an upgrade or the depth to keep the good McGinn on his toes, win win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
