He's wasted over 2 years of his life and what is a very short footballing career here. Yeah… it really is a shame… he was a highly rated player… I remember how excited and enthusiastic he was when he signed but it has been a disaster and I just feel sorry for the guy… 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadlyDirk Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 We're now in the realms of trusting the manager over players like Morgan. A guy as celebrated, experienced and talented as Unai is, he'll know if Sanson can cut the mustard or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody1000 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 If Emery doesn’t pick him, or at least give him an extended run on the basis he will have a look at everyone as a new manager, can we put it to bed about Morgan not being treated fairly and accept he’s just not been good enough? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it’s luck. He could’ve had a good chance when Grealish got injured, but he got injured aswell then he didn’t get a proper chance.

DeadlyDirk Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Just did the sad thing and looked through the thread and found his reveal video. This makes me very sad, so much promise and hype Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Smith had an injured Sanson for most of his time here. Gerrard was Gerrard. Look at the players' reaction to him being gone, he was useless. I don't think we have the slightest idea how good Sanson can be in the PL. Thankfully, Unai will have a good idea already, and it won't take him long to be sure. If Sanson is the player I think he is we'll have a tidy player that becomes an asset rather than a complete financial liability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's even more inevitable now there are only 2 midfielder spaces up for grabs and a 10 sometimes but he's not getting that ahead of Buendia JJ Coutinho etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether he will or not is another question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was coming to the end of his contract I think (I might be wrong), which makes me wonder if he's on a particularly high wage in an area where we're absolutely stacked. The emergence of Ramsey, McGinn's accumulated credit at the club, and Sanson's injury haven't helped him, but if he is on big wages and is down the pecking order if makes him an obvious one to move on for that reason rather than him not being good enough. It's a possibility anyway. I know we went on to sign Dendonker, but he is a proper DM. Only the idiot Gerrard was playing Dendonker as an 8 where Sanson would play.

Then Luiz and McGinn are more hybrid players who are good going forward and can put in defensive shifts. JJ and Tim are young but could provide two more players for those roles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 I don't think he's a poor player but we'll get our answer whether his attitude sucks or not. If the third manager in a row doesn't pick him then that's on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted October 25, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 25, 2022 It'll be him, McGinn, Kamara, The Donk and Luiz competing for the two spots in front of the back four. Could conceivably play as the central player of the 3 behind the striker if we want to be compact and keep the ball rather than play an attacking/flair 10. On that basis given injuries and there being 5 subs to use every game if he trains well then he should get a look in under Emery at some point. Last chance saloon though, through no fault of his own either mind, whenever Gerrard played him he looked very good. On merit he should have played instead of McGinn you'd have thought,, a few times at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emery - has a lot more options with Kamara Donck and development of Ramsey and Tim It can still be true that he was more than good enough to be in previous teams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuthority Posted October 25, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 25, 2022 I don't know where everyone has got the idea that Smith didn't fancy him. Smith picked him and he got injured for most of Smith's tenure. He always looked great under Gerrard then due to brilliant man management he'd disappear from the match day squads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calcifer Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Clean slate for all players, but if he does not pick him then it is obviously down to him just not been good enough? Would like to hope there is a good player in there, but is this another transfer where we have had our pants pulled down on.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
