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.
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 reason

Guess 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).

There MUST be someone coming in imminently if this is happening.

If not we’re going to have a very sparse bench.

Isn’t that where Guilbert went? Not getting confused are they?

It's from L'Equipe so imagine it's very reliable.

If he and marvellous go then there is a big hole in our midfield support.
Maybe the fa cup week off allows us to bring in recruits and settle them in. I feel this will be a big week.

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

Hole(s) on our bench for now. No point keeping players that aren't wanted. That's two gone, Nakamba to go.

The French Westwood? Or Hourihane, but without the sweet left foot?

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.

Good luck to him, never seemed to moan, has talked us up to new signings and just got on with it.

Over the last two years you could make the same argument for Luiz and McGinn though. It's a strange one all round, but good luck to him in any case.
