[Albion] Sergio Romero

[Motogull]

FFS he's 6ft 4in, so a foot too tall.

May I suggest a chillus pillus.

I assume you mean. tranquillā?

Although you were attempting humour...well done. Very good

 

[Sussexscots]

I think Potter was being diplomatic rather than saying there’s been a big fall out, I’ve lost confidence in Ryan, Ryan’s out of the picture, etc

Yes, that would also make sense.

Sanchez has been superb since he came in, don’t see a reason to spunk big money wages on a 34 year old Argentinian when we have a young goalkeeper who has come through our system and is performing to a very good level already.

I think we have bigger worries in our squad to be honest.

Agree. Plus Sanchez has been with us for six years - he's now got his chance, and has acquitted himself VERY well. It would be a bit of a kick in the teeth if he was relegated to the bench.

 

[mothy]

How tall is he?

 

[Meade's Ball]

It doesn't seem logical to me to dispose of an experienced keeper that isn't quite cutting the mustard, with us seeming to want to cut our wagebill, bring in a youngster who seems to have the attitude and potential to see us through the rest of the season at least, and then spend a small fortune on a player who has barely played for years and seemed happy enough to not do so whilst at a huge club. He and us don't quite fit.
As mentioned above, swearingly, we have more important moves to make, in trimming the squad and finding a player who knows where the corner of the net is, and kicking the ball there.

Not improbable, as alledgedly we were after the Arsenal 'keeper who chose Villa over us in the last window.......right decision, as it happens !!

Our ‘interest’ was rumoured but I think many of us at the time thought £30m for him was a hell of a lot of money, plus Villa pay outrageous wages so we had little chance competing with that, Martinez is on 100k per week there. (So a £50m transfer all in)

 

[Dave the OAP]

Yes. Let's put the chairman because the PRESS linked is with a keeper. FFS

Woooosh. Another one

 

[Hampster Gull]

Unless he can play upfront and score 10+ goals over the rest of the season then Im out

 

[golddene]

Yes. Let's put the chairman IN GOAL because the PRESS linked is with a keeper. FFS

Amended for you

Now wait for the TOO TALL critics.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Beep beep beep...is that you reversing?

Not at all...it’s called whit!

 

[saafend_seagull]

We can’t score ****ing goals so we are being linked to a ****ing keeper when we have two perfectly competent ****ing goalkeepers!

Bloom out

We have scored 11th most in the league.
This keeper would give the confidence to our defenders which hasn’t been there for 12 months.

An excellent goalkeeper:
a) Is he better than what we already have? Yes
b) Can we afford his transfer fee? Probably
c) Can we afford his wages? Possibly not
d) Would he want to come here if we can afford his wages? Possibly not
e) Is there any problem with a work permit? No
Surely worth thinking about?

 

[Swansman]

Looks like he is heading to Boca

I'm happy to accept I'm in a minority but I'd say Sanchez has been decent but I'm not sure I'd pick him over any other current PL number one. He may go on to be excellent but at the moment I wouldn't say he's been overly impressive other than being better than Ryan has recently

I knew he was shit all along.
I knew he was overpriced
I knew Potter couldn't seal the deal
I knew we wouldn't pay the wages, Barber out
I knew he was too tall
I knew he was frightened to play behind Dan Burn...

I'm not an expert on all the keepers in the PL - but, as our stated aim is to progress gradually (top ten, but not today or tomorrow like some people took it to mean) then Sanchez being better than Ryan represents some progress. I'm fine with that - more important things to spend our budget on (if we've got one) than another GK.

He's better than Ryan this season, who's been out of form. He's but been better than Ryan in previous season imho

Not even going to their main squad - he's going to Boca JUNIORS!!!
