In the post game tunnel video, not celebrating and no smile on his face. Only one in the whole squad. Grumpy sod isn’t he ?

Didn't see this, but I thought before there would be a parting of the ways in the summer and I still do.

Was it Steele getting MOM he objected to?

Steele is a bit like Ryan. Solid, doesn’t make mistakes but also won’t make amazing saves. Bob is a level up on both which is why he is in the Spain squad.
I think the comparison to Ryan does Steele a disservice. He’s had stiff competition for the number 1 shirt and done well enough to keep it. I feel more comfortable with him on crosses And he is evidently better playing Zerbiball. Sanchez still has a lot to learn.

Sounds like his Albion career is over…

From The Athletic

De Zerbi left Robert Sanchez, who he has dropped in favour of Jason Steele, out of his 20-man squad for the trip to the Emirates Stadium.

And the Italian explained: “We spoke two days ago and we reached an agreement that he wasn’t going to come here.

“He knew he wasn’t going to play.”

Yes. He'll be going. He's been visibly unhappy about playing second fiddle.

As ever, hope we can extract a good price

I hope Rob learns from this. He will be very lucky to go through a career at top level without being dropped at some point and quite frankly throwing a strop is poor.

I called out his ‘reaction’ after the Utd game and it can’t be good for the team

Pretty clear this is a squad game for RdZ and if you can’t hack being in and out you aren’t for him, same as happened for Trossard

Sorry to see this. I think he is a better shot stopper than Steele.
Looks like passing the ball in the penalty area is more important to RDZ

Passing the ball in the penalty area ?!

Indeed. RDZ wants the better sweeper.

I’d bite your hand off for a Sanchez-Colwill swap deal!

Who do we think he goes to then? Man United and Spurs the only top clubs who need a keeper.
Real Madrid? Might fancy getting the next potential Spanish keeper in early after getting burnt on De Gea.

I hope when Sanchez goes it's not on bad terms considering we brought him through. On the outside chance Potter ends up at Spurs, I can see him going there and doing very well.

That's an old article, can't see Chelsea wanting Sanchez anymore - they'd have gone for him if Potter was still in charge I think.

Spurs could be a shout, hopefully we can get some good money for him.

Incredible if he is first choice at either of these!! Not good enough
Maybe not, but there’s going to be gaps to fill at the clubs they take their goalkeeper from.

If Martinez leaves Villa than that then becomes a possibility…Leicester do if they stay up.
