Morgan Sanson - On Loan at Nice

[Brend'Watkins]

Everything about Sanson suggests to me that there was an opportunity to get him at a reduced price and the decision was made to buy him ahead of schedule.

Which is good if so.

It is.  With the caveat...if he's any good.

[jwarry]

He’s French.  This never ends well at the Villa.  Even Didier Six’s early promise wasn’t sustained.  (G Sinstadt c1987).

God knows where that video ended up, sure I had one the one's they'd put the Burnley team on the front of. Can't find it online either, Villaboy has snippets of it.

I remember thinking and being excited by that exotic signing at the time

Great first cross in first game for Withe against Manure.  Followed by typically non plussed sulky celebration.

[Aldridge Villa]

Not getting my juices flowing this lad

[eamonn]

Is he a bit physically weak?

[Aldridge Villa]

Not sure Eamon but him and Barkley of a similar parity at present

[Goldenballs]

Looks a bit of a nothing player.

[Bobby Boy]

It's early days and he does need to adapt from the French League to this one but finding it hard to see so far what Villa's-Boas was so upset about his transfer that he provoking his own sacking.

[levico]

Bland.

[Toronto Villa]

Everyone is bland right now. Why pick him out? If we were playing well he would be. But since Jack has been out, the defence aside the rest of them look absolutely awful. Sanson isn’t the type of player to change all of that

[Aldridge Villa]

Not sure he’s got anything in his locker other than bland. Some of his colleagues have but keeping it under lock and key at present.

[Steve67]

Beige player.  Hope he gets better.

[Mellin]

Here we go again.

[Ian.]

He will be fine, I have no doubts.

[brontebilly]

Not the only one but he was miles off the pace yet again.
