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

[chaileyjem]

Actually 3rd choice

He’s not really 3rd choice is he ?
He was only recently demoted to 2nd choice and then fell out with the coach becoming no choice I guess. . Not unusual for a keeper - as it’s almost impossible to win your place back.

Sanchez has been a right end. Good riddance to him. See how long it takes him to get pissed off being on Chelsea’s bench.

He will get game time before then end of sep . That’s enough time for kepa to make a few howlers

Needs Ben Roberts in his life it would seem.

I'm pretty sure most managers just send players out to run around and do what they see fit at the time.
Then at half time they tell a few jokes, have a natter about what happened on corrie the night before, and pass around some gala pie.
Really laid back and chilled out lads, those football managers.

If we lose RDZ, calling Mike Bassett!

He has the potential to become Chelsea’s number 1 GK . Personally I hope not because he’s only got that opportunity by behaving like a spoilt brat .

There's been a lot of pulling out of hair on this thread implying that our season would have imploded if McGill had had to replace Steele, with Sanchez taking the blame. This is doing McGill a disservice as he is a perfectly competent keeper, and no doubt would have acquitted himself well if called upon. (Has been in England age squads in past, so obviously has some talent).

I think you’re getting your young keepers confused as McGill is a Canadian international

He is now, but played England U17's

6 caps for England U17's and in U19 squad in 2019. Although born in Canada, came to England when he was 4. Has Canadian and English parents. Didn't opt to play for Canada until this year.

Must be some goodbye post he is drafting

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

It was relevant to the post he was replying to.

I’m astounded we are getting £25m+.
Why are they fussing over a few million for caicedo if they’re paying that much for our number three keeper ?

Dunno but I am relieved they are.

Fair point.

Then we signed Bart so technically he is… But get your point (wouldn’t have signed Bart if Sanchez hadn’t thrown his toys everywhere).

No goodbye message after TEN years and a dig in his opening message.

Compare to Mac A after 3 years and Colwill after 1 year loan.

You haven't looked hard enough.

Ooops. Thanks. That's a great message and I was wrong which I'm pleased about.

The Giggs example really IS irrelevant. He played for England Schools, which is quite different. You don't have to be English to go to an English school.

Is he still on the BOO list?
