[Albion] Was forcing Sanchez out the worst decision our club has made in years?

"End of thread" always comes across as such an arrogant statement; it's like 'nobody's opinion is worth sh*t except mine'.
But I guess some people think people like them should be able to end threads, perhaps?

So his value dropped by £15M (about 37%) after de Zerbi and Ricardo arrived?

I do (recognise the picture painted).

No, not me. I always maintained that Steele wouldn't be a disaster - and to forget all the Sunderland-til-I-die bollocks (so yes, I did mention Sunderland, but context is everything, wouldn't you agree?)I don’t recall “dread”. We’re a largely devil you know/conservative fanbase, most supporters thought Maty Ryan was the business, people daring to criticise faced a bit of a backlash.
Imho there was a lazy lumping-them-both-together football snobbery about Button and Steele. One or two people mentioned and mention Steele’s time at Sunderland years ago …. I think that might be you.
I have never said that Steele is rubbish; he's OK. I have said - and still do - that Sanchez was better IMHO, and that is not intended as a slight against Steele..

I wonder if the club are aiming for a keeper better than any of Sanchez, Steele and Verbruggen. They all have limitations, they’re not great all rounders. Facets would very include distribution. Perhaps that GK will come from the other 10 on the books. Or Verbruggen’s incredibly young, has he the potential to get close to Alisson or Ederson?

Relax it's just an NSCism isn't it.
Sanchez refused to travel with the team because he was dropped. So he wasn't forced out and it of course was not the worst decision we've made in years. In my humble opinion.
Not necessarily, £25m might have always been his value but fans will always want more for their 1st choice, youth-promoted, Spanish international 'keeper as opposed to a dropped, 3rd choice 'keeper with a perceived attitude problem. Just so happens that both those players are the same man

Excellent. Well done to you. Its such a pity that you havent been able to present a convincing argument as to why.

No, they are subjects for discussion.

An argument you're not interested in isn't going to convince you anyway, is it? I don't find yours overwhelming either.........

Pure fantasy by the OP to cover up the fact that their hero Sanchez sulked and refused to sit on the bench.14 pages on, can someone point me to the evidence that he 'was forced out'

Well you can engage and give reasons, provide evidence. Or you can snipe. Or we can watch big bob playing this afternoon

Anyone watching Chelsea - Leicester right now will see Sanchez is back to his calamitous worst.
