That would be tied at around the 15th highest transfer fee paid by a German club ever, and over double Stuttgart’s highest transfer fee paid. We aren’t getting anywhere near that for him. If the reports of double digit millions are true and if it matches their highest ever fee paid we’d have still over doubled our money.
Sima is also a handful
Well. The incident early in the second half where the ball flew across the pen area with nobody chasing in, screamed, need a natural scorer on that. Similarly the number of times Mitoma beat his man only to have his cross cleared at the front post.
One of those players looked good and scored goals in the PL and the Bundesliga
Understood. Which begs question as to why he came to England in first place.
Something happened in the autumn of 22. Dunno what. Private matter.
Sima has also scored goals in both the Europa and champions league.
Evidently was longer term issue than sudden death or illness, say, more like he needed longer term to be closer to family. No problem (Burn and Stephens had similar desires) but it seems unusual for a matter to arise a few months after signing.
Chelsea no.1 for 10 years? Are we talking about the same Sanchez? Poor with the ball at his feet but critically a bad error always 'waiting in the wings'. His move to Chelsea was more about him being fairly cheap by their standards, RDZ seeing his flaws and Sanchez downing tools instead of addressing them. And I wonder how much influence Ben Roberts had in getting him the move. I would suspect they are actively looking for a replacement as the errors will come and the fans will quickly be on his back.
Is that the same Sanchez that saved is team two points late in the game today? It's funny how so many people's opinions swung from delight when this calm, unflustered GK took over from Little Maty to suddenly becoming a dreadful GK when de Zerbi decided he didn't like him!
Was that his save from Gross? Wasn't that before our second goal?
Sorry but I'm not being a history revisionist on this. That cool demeanor was not actually reflected in the consistency of his performances. Long before RDZ 's arrival there was disquiet about silly errors popping up every few games.
OK, so maybe you aren't a revisionist - but there were/are revisionists a-plenty on here!
