Can see a loan out to a Ligue 1 side next season. Well he was injured when Dean was in charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He attacked some water bottles at the Emirates in October when Smith wouldn’t give him minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughable Chimp Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I predict he'll be out on loan by next season. We'd want to at least make back the fee we signed him for but we won't get any buyers. Loan to the French league is most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom13 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Not convinced he'd be that difficult to sell. People within the game will surely know what he's got based on what he's done in the past. However, I'd like to see him stay and given a fair shot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROTTERDAM1982 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I prefer him to Luiz tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 With 9 games left and nothing to play for i'd like to see SG rotate the squad a bit more, including a few starts for Sanson. It's strange how he hasn't started more since coming back from injury, especially how inconsistent McGinn and Luiz are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He started 2 games all season, home to Chelsea and home to United He has not once been given a chance vs a team on our level. Its disgusting really 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has missed just one game through injury in Gerrard entire reign, think Gerrard has managed 19 games so far 2 starts is poor management considering McGinn has probably played 5 good games in that time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why he gets such little game time. He'll be sold in the summer for half what we paid for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can it be determined from training that he isn't good enough? Plenty of times this season McGinn and Luiz have shown they've 'not been good enough' but yet they start every game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though he is good enough certainly better than McGinn, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a France call up within a year or 2 of leaving Villa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s twice the footballer Mcginn is. Mcginns surviving off his energy and being more physical imo. Because when he gets the ball he can’t play it on the ground, and from what we’ve seen of Sanson I think he can. I thought Gerrard would appreciate that more, but maybe he’s a victim of our lightweight midfield 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was both managers would have picked him in the team. He's just another player people want to be good and assume he is because they haven't seen him play week in week out. If he got a run in the team no doubt people would be slating him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how you can say that. Sanson hasn't had a run in the team to prove or disprove your comment. Based on his cameos, he is worthy of at least starting a couple of games to see what he can do. If you want competition in the squad you have to keep players hungry and feeling like they will get a shot if they prove their worth. That isn't happening at the moment.

The fact he hasn't had a run in the team (despite mixed performances by mcginn and luiz) proves my point. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 All of the theorising would be fair enough if we hadn't seen him actually play well on the rare times he's had an opportunity, but we have and as it's the only evidence we have to work off it's fair to say it's at least strange that he hasn't gotten more of a chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a big fan of Mcginn, but he’s very limited. If you’re choosing a player to keep the ball on the ground and keep possession it’s Sanson every day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven’t seen him do that much when he’s played though. Some say he ”looks class” but he hasn’t yet been that involved in games. If he could point to something he contributed he’d probably have a stronger case for game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
