Comment
Senegal born but raised in France, Sonko is a powerful defender that made his name in the English game at Brentford and Reading before a failed move to Stoke City in 2008.  Prior to that Sonko had been a youth player at St Ettienne before cutting his teeth at Second Division Grenoble.  Sonko was loaned in and given the enviable job of filling the spot vacated by Michael Turner's move to Sunderland.  After a woeful start to his City career (his lack of form made all the more galling by the fact that the cost of his loan, £3m, was more than the transfer fee received for the splendid Turner) he was dropped by Phil Brown, but returned later in the season to assist in an injury-ravaged defence, performing admirably in a win over Fulham.  The following season he was loaned out again, this time to struggling Portsmouth, eventually joining Ipswich after being released by Stoke.
