[Albion] Can we talk about Sanchez ?

[West Upper Seagull]

I’ve heard Sanchez can be very arrogant and has a tendency to wind others up. I watched him in the warm up down at Bournemouth and he simply was not bothered - the coaches were firing shots at him and he was going through the motions and just sticking out a boot to stop the shot. He then got bollocked at half time by one of the coaches for not doing what the the other subs were doing - again just going through the motions.

You haven’t seen enough then as Steele is the much better shot stopper and is far better with the ball at his feet. Sanchez is far too casual and at times sloppy who you know has a mistake in him.

Sanchez is easily the better shot stopper. Steele makes saves, but they're the sort of saves that Roy Keane would describe as doing his job.

Steele also has mistakes in him. He scored an OG last week, and almost gave Palace an undeserved equaliser in injury time. Thankfully, they're shit and didn't capitalise.

I guess we’ll agree to disagree.

I think that Ben Roberts leaving had a big impact on Robert.
He’s labelled as being ‘very confident’ by other players which could translate to arrogant.
I expect he feels that being dropped is not a ‘kick up the backside’ but more of a signal to move on which I’m not sure it was meant to be, but this looks like the route it’s going. His attitude hasn’t been great since being dropped and that’s a shame.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see him go to Man Utd as back up to/ competition for De Gea.

Sanchez will move on, tricky to say where.

Also difficult to predict what we will do, but my feeling is that Steele will start next season as number 1. He just seems the perfect fit.

My guess is we will buy someone to compete, cover and play cup games, Rushworth will come as 3rd keeper and start the process of working his way up, McGill will get a decent level loan and Scherpen will be sold.

2nd/3rd choice and playing a handful of cup games is no good for a young keeper developing his game. He'll only get better by playing as first choice somewhere so will more likley be loaned out to a Championship team.

Just something else to throw out there but I remember a month or two back Sanchez posting a random pic on insta in Hertfordshire with his gf. Seemed strange at the time as he barely posts as it is. Let alone a dull pic in the middle of nowhere.

Could it be spurs or arsenal? Spurs need a goalie....Sanchez was left at home for the arsenal game.

 

[Weststander]

Sanchez didn't need a season in the Championship. Not sure if McGill's had a meaningful loan at all, so it might be good for him if we are keeping him.

Not sure about Scherpen. Beadle is still very young (even by De Zerbi's standards!)

Is Beadle about?

Oh come on! We're better than pinching jokes from the Crewe fans' forum, surely?

I didn't know they had a forum, any good?

Not much in it, TBH - most League1 and 2 clubs' fans forums don't have anything like the footfall of NSC (or other big PL clubs).

Or could it just be that gf is from Herts or her folks live there?

 

[The Fits]

Sanchez will leave, I'm pretty certain of that. Also suspect, as well as Steele has done, we will be looking at another first choice keeper (more because we are at that level now than anything against Steele).

 

[Bodian]

He’s a young talent who’s already kept clean sheets in front of 90,000 at Wembley. If the club get him, imho the blend with Steele’s experience, will leave us in good shape. Total trust here in the club’s judgement.

Sanchez has only played at Wembley in front of 90,000 once. He kept a clean sheet.

Steele also has mistakes in him. He scored an OG last week, and almost gave Palace an undeserved equaliser in injury time. Thankfully, they're shit and didn't capitalise.

Bob cant save Pens if his life depended on it whereas weve seen Jason save a few so I'm not sure there is that much in it tbh. I cant exactly remember a catalogue of world class saves by Sanchez. It sounds like he's also downing tools which is only going to end one way. Out on loan.

Rushworth is going to be better than both of them anyway and will have the jersey in a couple of years.

They were from a GK focused twitter account a little while ago.

I don't have twitter anymore so can't search for the tweets but he has consistently been the best at claiming crosses in the PL.

He did'nt do very well at claiming that one cross at Selhurst Park this season...

Steele has a slightly better save % than Sanchez

Steele has a slightly better save % than Sanchez

Where's this stat? Someone posted the comparison the other day that showed the opposite.

 

[Pavilionaire]

I think RDZ is beginning to put his mark down and it is clear he looks for players with a strong mentality, team ethic, passion and receptive to his ideas. Steele has that, Sanchez strikes me as the calm type and more his own man.

I'm surprised there hasn't been more speculation about Sanchez moving on and possible destinations.

 

[Machiavelli]

They have very dissimilar sets (ie Sanchez' is much larger, if we're talking about PL appearances). Also the stats aren't (I presume) taking into account the difficulty/quality of the saves.
