[Albion] Sanchez: England or Spain?

[macbeth]

Amazing news. Absolutely delighted for him. Hard work pays off.

That's incredible news. First player we've had called up by Spain (I'm guessing ever) and it's a youth team graduate goalie who was playing in League One last season!

Delighted for him.

Fantastic news for Sanchez [emoji123] and fully deserved. What an incredible talent he’s proving to be.

I have no doubt if he was English, our esteemed manager Southgate would not call him up.

 

[Richy_Seagull]

Absolutely chuffed for him. What a few months he has had.

Congratulations Robert!

Never in doubt.

10 million added to his value instantly

Well done Big Bob

.....and I’m led to believe he doesn’t have a UK passport so can’t play for England even if he wanted to.

Even if he hasn't, he's legible for one. Irrelevant now anyway.

Spain doesn't recognise Dual Citizenship (the UK does) so to obtain a UK passport he would have to relinquish his Spanish one.

Well done Robbie.

Now go and speak to the academy lads and tell them that this happens if you work hard, do your dues on loan and take the chance that will be presented to you at this club.

Great news and well deserved.
