Definitely seemed a DOF type signing, value for money with Marseilles in financial trouble and a decent pedigree at Europa league level (similar to Traore). But none of our three head coaches seemed to rate him. I think there was always a suspicion he was too lightweight for PL football, certainly a valid shout when he first joined. But when likes of McGinn consistently wasn't performing it didnt make much sense how he got very little chances.As flops go, Sanson will be up there. He will end up leaving for little or nothing.
There MUST be someone coming in imminently if this is happening. If not we’re going to have a very sparse bench.
Morgone Sansgone (loan to Strasbourg apparently)

Is there really a hole in our midfield if he and Nakamba go? They never play, so what hole will they create?

He will end up leaving for little or nothing.Think that was always going to be the case with Lange's first few bargain basement buys. He's come knowing which players will work for FC Copenhagen. Sanson to be looks like a player with plenty of ability, but isn't suited to Premier League football for whatever reasonGuess he'll probably end up getting flogged to some French side for pennies, but I imagine we'll still get something for him (unlike, say, Guilbert).
I've realised, albeit a bit late that the reason Sanson hasn't played much for us is that he is a tidy all-round player, good technical skills etc but that he isn't really a game changer, there's no stand-out feature of his game.
