He's always been a signing with one eye on next season for me with these games giving him a chance to get a feel for what the Premier League is about.

I just can't see what sort of player he's going to be. He looks neat and tidy, but doesn't do enough dirty work to be a box-to-box or defensive midfielder, and isn't attacking enough to to be a more forward thinking player. Hope he comes good, but so far hasn't shown that he's especially good in any particular area.

I thought he did ok today actually but yeah, it's difficult to work out what exactly his role is

McGinn as the attacking midfielder with this guy as sub. He's definitely a defensive mid in any shape or form.

Bought to compete with McGinn (and Barkley) we were told. As we saw with the likes of Gueye and Veretout, the step up in intensity from French football to the PL is a big one. Sanson needs a hard pre season in him to be able to compete physically at PL level, half a yard short at the moment. I'm more worried about Luiz to be honest. Diabolical yet again today.

Yes that is my view and it’s the reason he didn’t feature except from the bench earlier. He’s getting a look now because of Grealish’s injury but it’s obvious there’s a way to go yet. As for Luiz he’s another player who was outstanding IMO before COVID but shocking since

Gets the ball and drives forward well. Probably a bit of a cliche but just needs to get used to the pace of the game over here. He will be fine.

He looks well off the pace and lightweight.

Let’s hope he adjusts.

Far too early to make any judgement. I think he'll turn out to be quite good eventually, seems like a Veretout sort of player.

Look at how well Jordan Veretout, Idrissa Gueye and to a slightly lesser extent Jordan Amavi’s career turned out. I was listening to Gab Marcotti raving about Veretout the other day as being one of the most influential players for Roma. Players can take time to adjust to a new way of life, new club, system. Lots of things. It’s safer and sometimes a little quicker but always more expensive buying domestically. You just have to wait a little longer for the pay off with players from other countries. He’s proven himself to be a good player in France. I’m looking forward to seeing him maximize his potential for us.

Yup. Games this season are all useful for experience/embedding and then he can really start to contribute next season.
