I see the killing of rebellious thread starters has worked.
Sounds good.

Aston Villa to complete £14m signing of Marseille midfielder Morgan Sanson next week
Sanson, 26, is expected to complete his move before Villa’s Premier League game at Burnley on Wednesday night

By John Percy and Jason Burt, CHIEF FOOTBALL CORRESPONDENT

Aston Villa are poised for complete the £14 million signing of Marseille midfielder Morgan Sanson next week.

Villa have agreed a fee with the Ligue 1 club and Sanson is set to become Dean Smith’s first signing of the January transfer window.

A deal is now understood to be very close and Sanson is expected to complete his move before Villa’s Premier League game at Burnley on Wednesday night.

Sanson, 26, has been a target for Villa for 18 months but the club have stepped up their interest after it emerged Marseille were open to offers due to the impact of Covid-19 and the French TV deal on their finances.

Villa’s initial offer was turned down last week but an improved proposal worth around £14m has been accepted.

Smith said last week: "I think I’ve always said that this is going to be a quiet window for us. Our plans are already looking forward to the summer window and what we’re going to do there.

"But we’re never going to turn our noses up at a good value deal to bring a player in. There’s the possibility of some outs as well."

Villa are in league action on Saturday night with a home game against Newcastle.

Can't say I've ever heard of him but it's good to see they're not settled with what they've already got. It'll be interesting to see where he fits in

He sounds like a character from Games of Thrones.

I thought it sounded like a solicitors firm.

It will be interesting to see what they do in the summer too going by Smith's comments.

I keep thinking of Morgan Stanley when I see his name.

A signing thread started by Toronto Villa always ends well.

Yep. Emi Martinez, Ezri Konsa, Wesley all signed successfully.

And others haven't. I don't see the point in starting a thread before a signing is more or less certain. You just get people's hopes up, then they end up disappointed. I remember seeing a Rashica thread on here, can't remember if it was you that started it. But I was excited thinking about him signing only to see it was just someone being premature. Again.

Still, with Sanson, a fee has been agreed so seems entirely reasonable to have a thread now, though. Hope it all goes through smoothly.

Good grief don’t take it so seriously. Hopes? Are people really so fragile?

I've asked nicely before. It doesn't hurt to wait until it's more or less a done deal, does it? Why would you choose to get people's hopes up?

I don't see the harm in it. It's not as if Messi is being linked.

I thought that's why we had the '- signed' addendum when the player is ITSOTP?

Either way this does sound like a goer. Anyone know much about him? Attacking? Defensive? Passer? Enforcer? Related to Kenny?

Pretty good signing I think.

Mid 20s, played for big club in european competition for a few seasons and will give us more options to rotate in midfield from now on.

As much as we all love SJM I thought his passing was really poor in midweek and not for the first time against a top 6 team. We also can't be certain Doug will still be here in six months time so feel this is also insurance as he can play DM even if he's more box to box in style.

Correct. Plus I didn’t say it because it was reported on some random website. Percy generally only involves himself in transfers when he’s pretty sure.
