Ramsey has essentially jumped ahead of Connor already, and Sanson can do bot wat Connor and Nakamba do according to reports. Would that leave us too light? Lansbury wasn’t even in the squad, so if we sign Sanson we would then have him and Ramsey as rotation/future starters in exchange for two players that are now essentially last resort players. Sounds like genuine squad strength as opposed to just numbers in the centre of midfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lundstram is available I think he would be a safer and cheaper option, but Sanson is sure more exotic. One hesitation I have is that many French players seem to find it hard to settle in England, which always makes it a bit of a gamble. but ironically a couple of the best ever players to play in the PL were french!

Yes that's true, and it is of course very individual, perhaps mostly us that has been unlucky with the French. The first one I remember is Mathieu Berson, who wasn't bad, but like most of them were off after a season or two. Ginola was the best from what I can remember.

Says it all when Amavi is doing well at Marseille, Veretout at Roma........if only we replicated that scenario now.....we would have a whole different return on their talent i think.

Similarly to how I never saw Cash coming in, and Guibert being bombed out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the finances work etc nothing bad can come of having another valid first team quality option. Wise words Pissflaps. We need good cover/competition, not someone just pull on the shirt and be a weak link. He'd be a sensible signing. McGinn and Luiz will fight tooth and nail for those shirts. I wish anyone thinking they'll knock John McGinn out the side all the best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post thabucks Posted January 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2021 Posted this in the transfermarkt thread but more relevant here... (I’m also Desperate to get to 2000 likes so...) I don’t think it will be for anything close to €22mill. The deal must make sense £££ now more so than before. Incremental increases in quality of players is what it’s all about now. More competition for places will obvs raise the quality of the whole squad as this grows. I’m v.intrigued to see how McGinn reacts to real competition for his place and see if he can elevate his game to the next level. A CM pool of Luiz, Ramsey, Sanson, McGinn, Barkley, would be a healthy position to be in for the second half of the season and beyond. OT Remember the Nightmare(s) of Whelan & Jedinak ... Now a distant haunting... Loan Hourihane & Nakamba and release Lansbury. Simples. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
