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.

Good question. I think UEFA put a 5 year limit on the amortizations, didn’t they ?

There’s no actual evidence that it’s his agents driving this though and that’s kind of my point. Fans are inclined to and want to believe such a narrative when it’s about one of their heroes.

The Caicedo and Dunk examples illustrate the hypocrisy of fans over these issues. Perspective is set entirely because of the outcome rather than the behaviour. If Caicedo stays all will be forgiven and forgotten (just like with Dunk). If he leaves he will be despised for the statement he put out...

See post 907. Life’s too short for bitterness.

That’s ridiculous. The meetings between Sanchez and RDZ weren’t minuted and haven’t even been explained in detail. They don’t need to be because it’s the manager’s job to deal with it and not really any of our business. To wish Sanchez well is not any sort of attack on RDZ or the club. There was...

For many people everything is black and white. No shades of grey. Edit; Icy beat me to it. Anyway, regardless I hope he gets in their team in time to play in front of the North Stand and that it’s live on tv, as I love a bit of pantomime booing and will join in with enthusiasm.

I don’t think either of those sources were vitriolic towards the player like some posts on here though. Perhaps the manager won’t be quite so honest next time ? Fans need to be able to handle straight talking in the spirit intended, and remember I was responding initially to someone who couldn’t...

:fishing:

All of that is valid and if it is the whole story then I’m sure his teammates are disappointed. I’m just saying that it may be selective and it certainly doesn’t include the player’s thoughts. I read an interview with Aaron Ramsdale yesterday where he was talking about his wife miscarrying three...

It’s difficult to share that kind of strong opinion when none of us know anything about the conversations being had. I would just rather not make such a damning judgement of a player basis what I read on social media.

I can’t agree with that. He was our first choice keeper a short while ago and in the Spain squad. He is still the same keeper, just doesn’t fit RDZ’s system. The price reflects his value to Chelsea, not his value to us. You don’t discard assets for nothing. We didn’t with Trossard when he downed...

Palace away ? The Maupay game. As he left the pitch he was pretty emotional towards the Holmesdale.

yes, but we’ve also bought a few over £20m. I know the ledger is in our favour but that’s the market in which we operate at the moment.

Can’t argue with any of that but I was making a slightly different point. Sanchez was dropped because of his distribution and that is only a factor at Brighton and Man City.

Which means there are perhaps only two teams in the PL for which he struggles to be first choice keeper on the basis of playing style (and all other things being equal); us and Man City.

Indeed. The new signing makes it difficult to see a role for Sanchez but that doesn’t make him a bad player.

Yes. The bigger picture is that if you allow a player under long term contract to leave on the cheap because they have behaved in this way then others will also try it on. The cheaper the sale price the more that can be negotiated in wages. Remember this is what it is about from the players.
