It's not irrelevant in the fact that you don't need to decide until you've played at senior level (and even then I believe you can change your mind if you've only played in a friendly!).

Fair point.

Youth football is irrelevant. Ryan Giggs played for England schoolboys, Rice played for Ireland etc etc. Fact is he's a Canadian goalkeeper.

If we lose RDZ, calling Mike Bassett!

That spans a few years (hence the empty stands) and includes many that weren't his fault). If they were all in the first half of last season then I'd be inclined to agree about the decline. The Fulham game was, I believe, 2020/21 season!!

Do you not think any manager would demand the same?

I'm inclined to agree. There isn't a keeper that hasn't at least made one blunder like that so I don't recognize the comments others have made about his declining standards. For me though, abandoning your team mates at a crucial time of the season and not redeeming yourself is the worst 'crime'.

:facepalm:

Out of interest, are you a season ticket holder?

Really, did you not enjoy the Chelsea home match last season. Fantastic atmosphere.

Semantics. A footballer telling his manager he doesn't want to sit on the bench is effectively the same thing. He knows that RDZ, or any manager for that matter,, isn't going to put a player on the bench if he's said he doesn't want it as he is clearly not committed to the team.

Like father like son!!!

When people come out with 'we don't know what was said' when it's been documented it is clear what they are implying. But like I said, you carry on.

Jesus there is some utter garbage being spouted by the Robert 'can do no wrong' Sanchez supporters club. First trying to deny he didn't want to be on the bench then the truly bizarre claim that he might have wanted to help with the day to day things but not sit on the bench. What day to day...

What utter garbage. Not be included is exactly the same as not wanting to be on the bench.

Yet this angry Italian has us playing in the Europa league!! And which players are you blaming RDZ for their departures?

But we do have an idea on what has been said. This direct quote from the below article, De Zerbi said: “At this moment, he (Steele) is closer to my idea, my style. Robert is improving, but Jason deserves to play. When I speak of my style, I’m speaking about the foot.” Sanchez should have...

Well that's your take on it. Man Utd have been pursuing Onana and perhaps you should ask yourself why Utd offered De Gea a lower contract? He's only 32 which is no age really for a keeper. If he was good enough they would have paid him at least the same. You're also trying to rewrite the...

It's not just RDZ though is it. More and more want to play out from the back, that's why Ten Haag let De Gea go. Sanchez is a **** but his refusal to sit on the bench for the last 6 games means he falls foul of the 'no dickheads' rule. Now he may have been very badly advised by his agent but...

Pretty much like every other goalkeeper in the world then. De Gea, Allison, Edison, they've all at some point made mistakes.
