Conspicuous by his absence of 'liking' any of Robert's Spain call up social media posts. But happy to post about his new Arsenal mates and what a great spell he had with him
I think you may be reading in to this a bit too much
Just because they are both goalkeepers and play/played at the same club doesn't mean that they have to be best mates and like every post on twitter.
Equally they may be such good mates that he has messaged him privately or maybe even seen him in person to say congratulations?

Exactly this. None of us know exactly what led to his dropping from the team, or to his departure on loan. Or for that matter who he is mates with and who he isn't, and that's tghe way it should be as far as l'm concerned.

All”s well that ends well I guess, he doesn’t miss us and we don’t miss him. We are all happy and I wish him well.
Used to love his full length runs of the pitch and hanging around chatting to friends/fans at the end of games.
Very good for us for three seasons, not so great this season. This looks like it will turn out for the best for both him and the Albion.

Oi, you have already used that for one of my posts! Is it your screensaver?
I was going to use one of a guy in a tin foil hat but had this ready to go
Average for us, nothing more.
Good luck to him, I too enjoyed his goal celebration, but Sanchez is a significant improvement.

This, in short.
I agree with this. A huge huge part in keeping us in the Premier League.
A really good way of seeing whether a keeper is performing better or worse than expected is PSxG/+- (Per-Shot Expected Goals minus Goals Allowed).
Maty Ryan had two great seasons with us, and one and a half not so good.
17/18 = Conceded 4.2 fewer goals than expected.
18/19 = Conceded 3.5 more goals than expected.
19/20 = Conceded 3.5 fewer goals than expected.
20/21 = Conceded 3.2 more goals than expected (conceded 1 more goal than expected than expected over the entire season inc. Arsenal loan)
Robert Sanchez
20/21 = Conceded 4.8 fewer goals than expected. (8th highest performer in the League)
In short, Sanchez has been a revelation but Maty was pretty fantastic in 17/18 and 19/20 and everyone was a bit rubbish over the whole season in 18/19. It's a good move for everyone, but we should really be thankful for Maty's service to our club. I wish him nothing but success (as long as it isn't at our expense).
You need to analyse the ones he conceded and how many he could have done better, particularly after the first year, and they were numerous. Weak hand, over-reliance of Dunk and Duffy, flat dives..... sorry but the stats rarely tell a whole story......

I think what probably sums things up for me is that I was totally emotionless when he left. There was something about him that I couldn’t abide, but I can’t put my finger on what it was. Either way, Sanchez is so much of an upgrade on him in virtually every area that I’ve stopped even thinking about it,
Well I for one think he was a good keeper for us. I really don't understand what people expect a newly promoted team to attract in terms of a keeper. Sheff Utd had a good one but he was on loan. Ramsdale is in the England squad but has had two consecutive relegations!! Pope makes good saves but can't distribute for toffee. De Gea makes mistakes, Pickford is regularly criticised, Leno let an easy one through the other week. Martinez is good but has only probably got his chance because of Maupay and Johnstone gets good ratings but has also been relegated.
Ryan might only be No. 2 at Arsenal but let's be honest, he was relegated to probably 4th at the drop of the hat. Jesus, I'd settle for No.2 at Sutton rather than being behind Steele in the pecking order!!!!

Or don't fit your narrative?
The stats will probably trend towards the mean over time.
