Going to say the same thing. They are human beings. The club is to blame for allowing the situation to go on for so long.

He had 3 years to prove himself, the club had punted better players for less

The club let the situation fester for 3 years.

He’s GONE.

Loaned to Como!

Poor Chalobah…

He's gone man.

That happened quickly. Alonso said one game was enough - we've been doing that for 3 years Xabi!

As others have said, I feel guilty about being glad he's gone as he's done nothing wrong as a person, he's just been in too prominent of a position for his abilities.

Nice one Cesc. Although feels wrong Sanchez gets to play CL football and we aren't in Europe.

Things must have completely broke down after the Fulham game for him to be moved on that quickly.

Probably more a case of Xabi saying to the board "we should have comfortably beaten Fulham, I can't go through that another 37 times".

More like gets to be a part of the CL squad. Don't think he will get any minutes in the CL, nor Serie A. Butez is their main man. Sanchez went from being 3rd option here to being 2nd option there. Guess if we'd have pulled the trigger on him earlier, we'd have found a club to pay for a transfer. But now it was too late and probably we would have had to settle for a lower fee out of desperation. Hence the board left it for next summer when they can get a proper fee. There will be plenty of clubs looking for a GK.

Good luck to him. I can see him meandering around the Italian countryside in pastel shade clothing. Should be good for his nerves and a good move for him.

Best wishes. Worth keeping an eye on Como with Cesc, Trev and Sanchez

Soooooo, surely now that Sanchez is going Ben Roberts doesn't want to stay around anymore? Right? Can we loan him to Como as well?

If he didn’t realise this was coming I fear he’s taken too many knocks to the head

How the (not even close to being) mighty has fallen....

At first i thought that too but on second thought he's actually moving to play CL football and as number 1 too? so maybe this deal is better for him and could very much be his idea. Had he stayed he would be playing carabao cup only.
