sne Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 "The next Totti" That's a heavy title to bear, impossible to live up to. But he got it for a reason. Shame about the injuries. He was in the latest Italy squad and played in both games. If he can stay fit and is motivated he would be a really exciting signing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted August 10, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 10, 2023 Strange one this, attitude issues, big injuries and he'll be the only (I think) Italian speaking player in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazrim Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I don't mind the odd speculative reach in transfers as long as its not systematic. And it's definitely not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Is this guy going to be able to play as a striker in the PL? I thought the idea was we would let Archer go and get in a striker to cover/challenge Watkins . . . seems like he's more of an attacking midfielder? Or am I mistaken?

wishywashy Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 From a quick glance at his transfermarkt injury history (which is much less reliable than sometimes made out to be, as it's dependent on users submitting them: Sanson has apparently never been injured with us, presumably because tracking that guys injuries would be too much for anyone), he missed 11 games in 21/22 and 2 games in 22/23, which isn't bad. There wasn't any long period of games where he wasn't in the squad that aren't explained, either, so it seems relatively accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I genuinely thought we'd go for him in January when he was getting offered to Bournemouth. Anyone know how he got on in Turkey? He was a serious talent before his ACL injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the idea was we would let Archer go and get in a striker to cover/challenge Watkins . . . seems like he's more of an attacking midfielder? Or am I mistaken? In the system we play he can realistically cover both the second striker and wide/attacking midfielder positions, that's where he's predominantly played in his time. I think it's one of the interesting things about how Emery has us set up that the likes of Zaniolo and Felix that have been linked have obvious positions as opposed to being square pegs in round holes for many other sides. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously signing him is a risk, but they know what they are doing. I wouldn't even be mad at them if it didn't work out because they deserve our trust. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
