He seems more like a midfield enforcer type, which is arguably the sort of player we're missing. He's a different kind of midfielder to Hourihane but what I meant was he'd be an upgrade in terms of what he offers the team. We need him more than Hourihane. Basically Hourihane out and Sanson in leaves us in a better position, no question. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it's good business. Yeah I think a lot of clubs will look at the league. Great timing as bad as it is for those clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted January 16, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 16, 2021 I always thought Fabrizio was fairly reliable in relation to transfers as far as journos go. Though, I could be very wrong tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holtend4life Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 The lad has good acceleration and pace (for a midfielder) by the looks of things, something that Hourihane couldn’t really offer at prem level and get away with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 12 minutes ago, JAMAICAN-VILLAN said: Saw someone make a good point, suggestion he could actually be a better value Barkley replacement? Granted I've seen less of him in the last couple of seasons, but they're not that comparable where it'd be a like for like replacement. Sanson is more in the McGinn mould of being a bit of an all rounder, makes a lot of defensive contributions but carries the ball well and chips in with a few goals too. When Barkley plays he's pushed right up as a 10 which I can't imagine Sanson would be doing much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted January 16, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 16, 2021 Gregg Evans just said the other day that the only signing we might make would be an attacker. So it would make sense if we sign a central midfielder given Gregg Evan's track record. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okonokos Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Fabrizio is extremely reliable. Yes, he said we were signing Rashica but he was right that we were in advanced talks, whether people want to believe it or not. But anyway, this isn't his story. It seems to come from this guy who I have never heard of... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be a squad upgrade which is basically what everyone wants except for another striker of course but seems like we’re hoping Wesley will be in play before too long.

sharkyvilla Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Ooh I like it when a new thread like this opens. I remember him being suggested before so it could either be we have tracked him for ages and finally getting the deal done or a rehash of old news from desperate 'journalists'. He would probably be an upgrade on Conor, though I think he gets a hard time, he deserves a move to play more football if he wants it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
