I'm not sure I saw him run the first time to be honest.

Checking out a cross section of Marseille fans on Twitter and their forums, the imminent departure of Sanson doesn't seem to be creating too much of a stir.

Some are quite happy for him to leave and say he hasn't really progressed, others are thankful for what he's contributed.

So judging from the comments,  he's been neither terrible nor amazing, but there is a consensus that he has a lot of energy.

That’s all very well but what are the real experts saying over on SHA?

Just checked. They are talking about peaky blinders and the dimensions of their pitch. The Vile aren't even being discussed, if this Sanson move happens I'm sure they will be all over it.

I'd never heard of him three days ago and now he's definitely the midfield missing link in our title tilt.

Who does he come in for?

Hourihane? Competition for McGinn?

I don't think he'd get in our best 11, so would be as back up. I guess we will need better back players, if we're going to progress. Best 11 for me would bring Berkley back when fit, leave out El Ghaz and put Jack back on the left.

We simply can't be 100% Doug will still be here in August so think it's smart to bed Sanson in for next 6 months and let him adapt slowly and then if he's needed as the DM so be it.

From what I've seen though he's more a box to box player so think we can rest McGinn more now and this allows us to move on Hourihane and Nakamba in next six months to balance things out.

Not convinced Barkley is going to be permanent either.

Sanson, if it happens, looks a smart move.  Covers several positions, looks a tidy player.  Great that we are only a third of the way through our season where others are half way through.

Jon Percy in the DT now reporting the Samson deal looking likely at around £15m
Also Hourihane out on loan possibly to Swansea or Bournemouth

Thanks Clive for more confirmed info.  Done deal then on the transfer incoming and outgoing

What I would say is that's Villa with Sanson! And Villa SansHourihane.

No need to write Nakamba off, he did well covering last month.

That said this guy looks a great player who will be a big upgradecto the squad.

Nakamba was getting compared to Kante when he first broke into the team. He went off the boil, but like El Ghazi and Trezeguet he has shown enough in some games to have real potential if he starts hitting form more regularly. Too early to write off yet.

Like the look of Sanson, but will be sad to see Hourihane go. He has been one of our best value signings in recent years and has not looked out of place in the premier league.

Without a doubt, we wasted an insane amount of money while we were in the Championship but Hourihane was one of the bargains who has more than played his part getting us too were we are.

Some great goals along the way and a couple of hugely important goals in our recent history, Albion in the Play offs and Norwich 1-0 Last season. Without both goals we probably wouldnt be were we are now.

You can tell hes brought into the club and has loved it here aswelI. I hope he goes on to have a brilliant last 4 or 5 years were ever he ends up.
