The other thing is that with us, he's already a no. 1 at a Premier League club. At his age, and having established himself, would he want to risk going to Chelsea to sit behind Mendy? Or Liverpool with Alisson? Or City with Ederson? Or United with De Gea? They're the only ones likely to afford him in England and I can't see them paying the kind of money that would get him out of Brighton

Probably depends on what you mean with "soon". He is not going anywhere this summer at least.

My feeling too. He’s here next season and will be delighted with that. But in future who knows.
FWIW I have seen comments from Spanish fans along the lines of “when he plays for giant club he will be our number 1”. So Bob may face the same big club bias as Dunky, Webster, White et al of breaking into the team.
I love that the Spanish are calling him “The Panther” though.

Who was the ‘expert’ ? They usually use Sid Lowe who generally knows his stuff, haven’t heard Graham Hunter on their for a while.

……and we’ll get a ridiculous bid from a big club, and start the season with Steele in goal
The new manager of Real Madrid has commented a couple of times how impressed he is with Bob!
He could be the most unexpected leaver this summer.
Btw has Ryan officially left today?

No because he still has another year on his contract.

Ah I wondered if this was a mutual consent type arrangement and he was offski.
I believe there are football clubs in other countries too - even in his Spanish homeland.
Probably not a fair conclusion to make, given that the current number one 'only' plays for Bilbao

Possibly. That is only what I have seen Spanish fans say though.

See the match?
I think he was unlucky tbh.
Spain’s last friendly before the Euros was cancelled due to Covid. I thought that was the game he’d get a run out.
If he had done well in that game I think he’d of had a chance at playing in the group stages.

Why would he wave goodbye to a couple of million qud or so, just for sitting on the bench possibly?
‘Mutual consent’ doesn’t mean ‘no money involved’……
OK, why would we wave goodbye to a few million quid then?!
‘Mutual’ is the clue.
We both throw away a couple of million? Seriously, Ryan is unlikely to want anything less than his contract states, and as a full international - albeirt only an Aussie one, and in the final year of his contract - he still has value in the transfer market, so no reason for us to forego any transfer fee.
Not necessarily - if it means he can play, he might well accept a compromise. Equally, we may do so to get him off the wage bill.
