Because vagabond kept spelling his forename wrong?

Obviously we're not privy to any training ground bust ups but there has been no reports of any issues like that with Ryan. Plus he was on the bench for the Spurs game where he was initially dropped, unlike Maupay who was dropped from the squad entirely.
But yeah, I think it makes sense that the club would want to move him once they decided he was no longer the #1.
Sanchez is the new number one. It wouldn’t be good to keep a pissed off senior goalkeeper who’s just been demoted in the match day squads.
He had a route out the club, plenty of good reasons for all parties for him to move on.

Not just from a BHA point of view, but from an Arsenal one as well he’s done himself no favours as they’d surely be thinking ‘What’s the story with this guy?’

Yeah **** off Ryan. Prat for saying that. Useless Aussie c**t. At a club who we’ve only lost to, what, once since being promoted. Loved Ryan when here but this just stinks of sour grapes. Sanchez by FAR the better keeper. Ta Taa Ryan! All the best.

I haven’t, are you suggesting he is being misinterpreted in that tweet or whatever it is? If he said that I have no interest in listening to any more

I very much doubt that. Even if he has a blinder for us over the next year or so, playing in the bottom half of the PL for BHA, with no caps and no European experience will not make him a £40/£50m keeper by summer 2022. Pickford went for £25m from Sunderland to Everton in 2017, and was well in the frame for England by then. Sanchez won't be. I'd like you to be right, but Sanchez will not be pushing the kind of fees you're talking about in a years time.
Hopefully it'll be immaterial as we won't be looking to sell anyway.

To paraphrase him, he said 'When I came to Brighton, my goal was to play 2-3 years and then move to be a bigger team. I got that move this January but not in the circumstances I wanted'.

“I’ve got myself a massive step up from Brighton” is the bit that riles me. Are you saying he didn’t say that?
He was a first team shoo in here until he let in just about every shot on target. He is now at a club where he won’t get a PL game unless Leno is injured. Only a moron or someone with serious delusions could call that a “massive step up”

Yes, he says Arsenal is a massive step up from Brighton. Would you disagree with that?

As a reserve keeper with no chance of a PL game barring injury to the first team keeper? Yes of course I disagree
I wonder if the Villa keeper is gutted to have downgraded

In the video Maty said he hoped to play here for a couple of seasons and move on to a bigger club, he says he wanted to be transferred permanently as a first team choice due to his performances so it hasn't worked out as planned. He then says that he's now been given a chance at a bigger club and he wants to enjoy the journey and progression of being at a club on a different level.
Honestly, are people really upset about that? How often have we said that we want ambitious players and not wanting a reputation for stopping players progression.
I swear that folk are often itching to have a go at former players.

He grew up in Australia. Arsenal would have had an infinitely higher profile than us at the time. Of course he thinks it is a massive step up.

Are Arsenal a much bigger club than Brighton, yes or no?

Yes it was wrong to say that, he is still our player so what happens if Arsenal dont want him at the end of the season? He may have to eat his words come back to Brighton & try to regain his place (unlikely) or be moved on as a Brighton & Arsenal reject which may end up being a massive step down. Loved him to bits while he was here but i think he has said things that should have been kept to himself.
