Snap their hand off for that after the Palace debacle.Hearing the fee is £35m, with clauses potentially going to £45m.
Seems a very good fee to me!

Big fan of Trubin, going into the last year of his contract too.Assuming Sanchez goes for a reasonable amount I think we should try and get in someone like Trubin from Shakhtar.
Young goalkeeper with European experience, currently Ukraine's number 1 and has played under De Zerbi before.
About the time he was dropped?Was told he fell out with De Zerbi months ago and has been sulking since. Quite a row by all accounts
I could not disagree more. He is a professional footballer, so he should behave like one.This isn’t an ideal situation for any top player wanting to play football rather than gather splinters for the sake of it but for a GK it’s worse as coaches rarely sub GKs off the bench unless for injury.
Sanchez has been a great stopper for us and served us well for several years in the PL2 and in 2021/22 as our first team no.1, with 11 clean sheets in 37 league appearances, a record high in the Premier League for an Albion keeper:
Until that is with the continuing development under RDZ which increasingly required a GK who was happier in possession and more adept at playing with his feet - that’s not Sanchez’s fault (other than the few costly clangers he’s made) nor certainly not the manager’s but it’s just a case that he ceased to be RDZs first choice for our style of play. For a young first choice no1 (in GK years) stopper, to almost overnight, finding himself ‘relegated’ to the bench and in the humiliating position of watching someone else take his place week in and week out, including watching his replacement concede 5 goals at Everton - well that cant be easy, so we need to cut him some slack, shirley. He hasn’t stormed off or had his agent tweeting rumour deals with other clubs to hold TB at ransom, nor done a sulky runner to Spain but has stated (according to RDZ) that he would rather not travel having been told he would not be playing. GKs are the only position are unlikely to be subbed during a match (bar injury) since the position hardly effects tactics and the role is generally not energy intensive enough to require a rest inside 90mins so I can understand why Sanchez requested to be left out of the named squad given the way things have be going. Yes, it’s a bit sulky. Yes he’s getting 50 grand a week but that’s to play football which he’s not getting to do.
I agree, that it is likely he will move on over the summer (for a decent fee) and Sanchez not wanting to be named in the squad knowing there’s next to zero chance of him playing is not ideal but we don’t know what’s going on behind closed doors or in closed training or what Sanchez’s mental state is so it’s unfair to judge him so harshly imo.

Steele long term is not the answer. Look at his fringe for christ sake.Hope after like the rest of us if he didn't want to work he don't get paid. Steele moving forward is a likeable guy. But BIg Bob is and has proved to be a disaster waiting to happen. Shame really by Bob!

I’d rather have £45upfront on the basis we’ll give them back £20m when they win somethingSpurs?
Clauses to £45m if they win something??
£35m it is then
I daresay they're less obsessed about a mistake made by a very good young GK than the good folk of NSC when they feel offended!Snap their hand off for that after the Palace debacle.
I'm sure you were - and so was/is Sanchez, but now he's the bad guy it's just a sign that he's too laid back, eh?There's a reason they say you have to be crazy to be a goalkeeper.
One wrongly positioned limb and your team is down a goal. It's incredibly unforgiving.
But either you have the mentality to deal with pressure or you don't, I was a decent keeper because I didn't let pressure get to me.
More to do with the reasons / mistakes at the time.About the time he was dropped?
The other thing that needs to be addressed is how disrespectful it is to Steele. The goalkeepers code dictates you help the other keeper even if you have to bite your lip as it happens to everyone at some point.
