What  type of midfielder is he?

He's alot like McGinn from everything I can find, high energy, closes the ball fast and tries to move the ball forward fast.

Welcome to Villa Park.

Captain Morgan has a good ring to it if Grealish ever gets subbed again.
That'll be a rum do.

Guilbert could be important in helpung him settle.

We'll have a few French speakers in the squad, eg Traoré.

How good is his English? Do we know, for example, whether he understands the difference between ‘up’ and ‘off’?

Decent English in the interview, although he did describe us as a mythical club.

He was struggling to find an English translation for "club mythique", which is standard French football parlance when referring to a big club with an illustrious history.

I like "legendary", myself!

I think he had to be registered by midday today for that, so possibly not. Probably makes sense to wait until the weekend anyway.

Not to be put any pressure on him but if he is anywhere as near as good as the rest of our signings this season, he will be fantastic after settling in.  Looking forward to seeing the warrior!

Well, according to Dean, he can play as a 10, an 8 or a 6. Whatever the hell that means.

He's played out wide for Marseille at points too so can probably play anywhere across midfield. A right footed McGinn who's stats show him winning the ball higher up the field than what McGinn does. Useful to have someone so versatile as it can help to keep the squad size down whilst still having options and giving chance for the kids to come through.

Dingles in meltdown as Morgan mentions our derby with the Baggies rather than them.

Welcome, Morgan. DBS

Seems we made our approach back in December and he was our number 1 target. I love it when a plan comes together.
It's great to know that we're signing players who have been on the radar for a while, and also players who have been specifically identified because they will fit into a long term plan for improving the squad and their ability to adapt to the way we play. I'm happier with the direction of the club now than I have been for many a long year.

Plays off both feet. More graceful than McGinn.

Dean said "will add real competition for starting places and gives us more squad depth which is vital to competing successfully in the Premier League."

Great interview, seems confident and I'm guessing you're not going to describe yourself as a 'warrior' unless you get stuck in and tackle a bit more than Henri Lansbury.

I never I thought I'd see the words "warrior" and "Henri Lansbury" in the same sentence.

Do we have a Chanson for Sanson?

I liked his answer of "West Brom" to the dumb "Who are you most looking forward to playing against?" question.
Don't be getting the player dreaming of a SkySix club in his first feckin' interview! Good lad, knows the importance of a derby.
