[Albion] Robert Sanchez to Chelsea for £25m plus add-ons

[Nobby Cybergoat]

I know it doesnt work like this, but seeing as he basically refused to be on the bench, we shouldnt be paying him.
Im pretty sure if anyone of us refused to do our job we would very quickly not be paid

Well yes. He's committed gross misconduct and if we sacked him, he would have very little chance of getting compensation for unfair dismissal.

Of course, we would receive no transfer fee either.

A deliberate planned undermining of Brighton and Hove albion by tod boehly and Chelsea, recruitment of a player that has been unprofessional and disruptive with the sole purpose for the encouragement for their main transfer target who we are refusing to sell to act in the same way to reduce our price demand

Someone on Twitter called him Whinge Bob Square Peg which made me laugh

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Talkshite reported this morning Chelsea are after Big Bad Bob on a loan deal ?

Would be beneficial to us if someone else showed interest…

We have one of the most dysfunctional relationships two clubs have ever had, surely?

We ignore them for a bit, then relieve them of huge amounts of cash once we know we can upgrade whoever it is they’re taking ?

And occasionally in return for that we get their best young players for peanuts.

It's like two best mates. We the intelligent, little one them the big, stupid one. They try and bully us, we prod back, they end up doing daft things and sometimes punch us in the head. Then we kiss and make up. Then back to the bantz. Everyone else looking on thinking 'do these two love or hate each other?
Even we're not sure.

SSN showed a press conference with Thomas Frankel who pointed to the 105m for Rice in the final year of his contract and another similarly large deal for a player in the final year of his contract. Seemed to be, with a straight face, suggesting such a fee wouldn't be ridiculous.

While Caicedo isn't in the last year of his contract, pointing to the Rice deal as a benchmark feels like we can't really be too incredulous.


EDIT: That might be a little unfair on Tuchel's answer. Just had the video pop up on twitter. He does seem to suggest the 40m would be a good price (but also points to 100m+ figures:

They too embarrassed to say how much..?

 

[Live by the sea]

Whilst Sanchez seems to have a very high opinion of himself , his stats are good . He must be worth at least £20m

 

[US Seagull]

I doubt there'll be any shortage of people ready to drive him up there.

A real shame how this has all ended.

It’s quite ironic that the keeper who couldn’t take not being first choice is probably going to a club where he will 100% be a back up keeper from the off

I think the Ben Roberts factor has played a part. Real shame it went this way, I rated Sanchez. Ah well.

We all rated him. A lot less rate him now

I think I'll he be ahead of Kepa actually.
When he was playing he was for Spain.

He's probably getting a 50% pay rise. Gets to live in London if he wants. Absolute scum bag can't wait to boo him
