Have you seen how many men we are pushing forward?
Obviously we're going to concede. It's nothing to do with Steele, he's exposed (in the name of us playing thrilling football and scoring loads of goals) time and time again.

Do we know for a fact he's thrown his toys out his pram, could it be something personal?
RDZ would have slated him wouldn't he if that was the case, the reasoning and quotes i have read are pretty vague.
Either way, it is a shame he wasn't there yesterday as he did play a significant part of us getting where we are today.
If he has had a hissy but comes to his senses then I'd take him back. But if his head has been turned, probably my his agent more than speculation then bye bye, just make sure the grass is greener as often it is not.

Nothing seems to generate responses quite like writing a post that suggests Steele isn't really an ideal first-choice keeper, does it?

That is cringeworthy
No we don't know for a fact and probably never will. However reading between the lines of the quotes about it so far it sounds like he was told he's second choice and he's said "sod that". There's also a whole article on The Athletic called "Robert Sanchez’s incredible sulk" which backs that up.
Sanchez's incredible sulk is disrupting Brighton's European charge
The Spanish goalkeeper is gaining nothing by refusing to sit on the bench and is causing Roberto De Zerbi an unwanted headache

Don’t see how Sanchez can come back from this. I think sell for as much as we can get and re invest.

I think Bobby was probably part of the "tough decisions" in the locker room that RDZ spoke of in his rousing speech in the dressing room. Binning off Trossard for his attitude set the precedent and there was no reason why Bobby could be allowed to get away with it. RDZ is an excellent manager and seems really inspirational.
It's a very 'Guardiola' way of working.
Cancelo was out-of-form after a disappointing World Cup, started bitching about his younger replacement... and soon got dispatched.

I don't know whether to thank you for drawing that to our attention or, more probably, not
He wants to be Spains number one, he ain’t gonna do that from our bench. Fair enough, I understand that. But with the end of the season just around the corner and the transfer window reopening, throwing your toys out is far from a good look, unless he is just trying to lower his price and get a bigger signing fee? Either way, not part of this teams core anymore, time to go.

We're in the pipe, 5 by 5
Confirmed by my own ears that there has been a massive falling out between player and manager. Player wants a move to Chelsea but fears being over priced. Only typing this after trying to find out if i can put a tenner on Sanchez to Chelsea but couldn't find any details on the websites to do so. Probably get shite odds anyway but was worth a look. Shame really as Sanchez has been crucial to our success last season and for a big chunk of this. It does happen that players and managers make up... but after hearing what said player was saying about him I very much doubt it!

Considering your ears are covered by an aviation crash helmet, forgive me if I don't believe you...
Truth be know, I do think this is probably true, I can see him throwing his Paella out of his pram.
However he should be more concerned about himself than us over pricing him out of a move, he seems to be the only one damaging his value by throwing a hissy fit.

I think Sanchez is good, but im not sure he's 'a transfer to Chelsea is nailed on, they absolutely want him' good. So to throw your toys out of the pram because you think that might not happen is weird.

"IF" what you have been told is correct..( and I'm not doubting you at all), then it seems pretty obvious to me that Ben Roberts of Chelsea, "may" have already tapped him up..? It wouldn't be Potter...he isn't there. Frank Lampard is just caretaking and Pochettino isn't there yet.
Shocking if true. I already have little or no respect for those who jumped ship here for moneybags Chelsea. I hope they all get sacked eventually.
