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

[Pevenseagull]

Hoping Chelsea go 2 goals ahead and then lose after a string of absolute HOWLERS.

Some nice posts on the Chelsea forum, they really are a bunch of *******. They get on the back of all their players and managers almost immediately.

"whoever agreed to loan out Kepa and put Sanchez as the n.1 keeper needs to be shot"

I didn't think he'd save the West Ham penalty.

 

[Munchkin]

Reality is Chelsea’s first choice keeper wouldn’t even get in our squad. Says it all really.

I’m not sure what Chelsea expected.

 

[Farehamseagull]

He wasn’t signed to be their first choice keeper but as usual, their piss poor squad planning has meant he is now and he’s not good enough. He’s going to be in for a rough ride until they do get another keeper, which I’m sure they will soon knowing that lot.

 

[El Turi]

His new nickname is the hologram.

Sanchez proved himself not ready to cope with the expectations of a very supportive Brighton fan base, way too many errors and deservedly lost his place, it wasn't all about the ball at feet.

The idea that he's ready for insane Chelsea fans is quite funny, Poch may make a player of him but it won't be with any help from the fans

Presume it was the Ben Roberts link, but the signing seems genuinely bizarre. I’m not knocking bob either, he’s a decent keeper (just not quite as good as Steele with his feet), but was he an upgrade on Kepa or Mendy? I don’t think so.

Oof we are drowning in bitterness on here today aren't we!

Oh it’s a much more positive emotion than bitterness. What you see here is the joy of panto.

Edit I just noticed the date you posted. Still applies though. Especially today.

Very harsh. He’s a young player, who is going to make mistakes.

“Way too many” is an exaggeration, and I’d be interested to hear of them, Palace apart.

His footwork isn’t as good as Steele, RdZ preferred Steele good enough for me.

Stop it
I genuinely hope Bob fulfils his potential
There's a very good keeper in there Still
Just not at Brighton on Thames
They might just break him before he reaches it though

Steele is so much calmer and less panicked with the ball at his feet compared with Sanchez. I think that gives him the ability to pick out the passes required.

Well yes, but that doesn’t account for the “way too many errors”, which is inaccurate.

Errors is passing there were quite a lot. He chose the wrong one a lot of the time, hence Steele came in. This is the reason no?

My feeling was that his performance as a whole dropped, because of being asked to play a different way. He was fantastic for Potter.

RdZ said suited his style of play more. Re errors, Palace apart care to list them?

[Weststander]

Steele is better than Sanchez. He took our no.1 slot for sound footballing reasons. Chelsea will be seeking a possession based game too.

I can’t fathom why Winstanley/Roberts think Sanchez is anywhere near a team or squad they’re planning to win the biggest trophies with.

Really confusing for me... when did they know Kepa was leaving? just bizarre.

The only errors I can think of are ones where he passes long instead of short. Situations where he doesn't play to the right style. Those are errors as well. The balls often had the wrong pace and wrong timing on them as well. You can see the difference between them with Steele.

You can argue it's doesn't make him a bad goaltender as it is a style related thing, but for the style we play, playing the way he was with the ball is an error.
