Really quite excited by the Sanson stuff. Sounds like a few other PL teams have asked about him in the past, but Marseille have been asking for the big bucks. Now they need the cash, we've popped in and potentially got him for (relatively) some money we found down the back of the sofa.
i have never heard of him so will wait to see him play for us before getting too excited at this signing

€18m offer submitted according to a local journalist, Mohamed Bouhsfsi.
The kinda signings I would have expected from Monsieur Houllier.
Ha, well the type he had lined-up for summer '11 (Cabaye, Fofana, someone else fancy sounding and possibly French).
