Even the creases in the shirt by the fingers are the same.

Some really sad people around without a worthwhile life.

Can I just point out that I also think the photo is a pisspoor Photoshop effort.

I was not for one moment suggesting it was true, I was merely confirming that this was the photo @gator was referring to.

 

[1958Villan]

Hahaha, he's 26 and most of his highlights are getting fouled.

He looks like he's got two good fast feet.
He looks like he isn't afraid of a tackle.
It would be rather hypocritical of a Villa fan to decry a player for getting fouled a lot, when we have the most fouled player in the league, don't you think.

 

[Silhillvilla]

Pretty stupid. That's more likely to cause the player NOT to sign.

Good, he's not what we need .

 

[JW1985]

Good, he's not what we need .

Why? If he's an upgrade on any member of the squad then we need him.

Someone has got to his wiki page aswell

Morgan Sanson is a French professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Premier League club Aston Villa. He had the opportunity to join Small Heath to which he laughed and said "unfortunately i dont have 13 fingers and shag my sister" Wikipedia

Maybe I’m immature but I did LOL

Judging by his YouTube montage he's far from an. Upgrade

To be fair we judge players on Youtube compilations who look like Ronaldo and say "you can't judge a player on a Youtube video".

 

[david-avfc]

Bring back Aleksander Tonev, his YouTube highlights were brilliant

 

[Old Trinity Villan]

Im hoping and expecting our recruitment team use other means rather than youtube for new players? If we sign him it would be a reasonable expection he would be an.upgrade to the squad. We at last appear to be getting a few right for a change.

 

[crimsondonkey]

Lange out!

I'd hope our scouting team bases signings on more than some random YouTube clip.

They openly base their scouting on stats to start with, so I'm guessing most of it is done via watching on TV and the like especially as there have been no fans for nearly a year,I doubt they've been allowed to watch him live.

Let's be fair most people on here base their knowledge on what they see on TV and get quite offended when asked the last time they went to a Ligue one game in France.
Some even use PlayStation games to find players who we should be signing as they are "amazing" (sorry the use of that word gets on my tits)

I don’t know anything about this Sanson bloke. Never heard of him although that’s no measure of his worth. What kind of a midfielder is he? Holding, destroyer, box to box, goal machine, entertainer or chance maker? Or all of them?

I think I speak for the majority in saying, we have no idea

From what i’ve read he’s a box to box player.
High energy, strong in the challenge and likes to go past people. Similar attributes to SJM but more technical and (i expect) not quite as much energy. Never seen him play though, so who the fuck really knows!
