Carlos Sanchez

[silhillvilla]

My take on Sanchez is he's top quality and he's getting better. I suspect he will be very good come next season.

I think he's very good right now silhill!



And agree...he's getting better.

Agree.
Holds his shape and position very well.

Defends the defence - good in the air....doesn't get knocked off the ball easily...has real tenacity - fights for possession...wins tackles...particularly good at reading the play and intercepting...great vision/eye for a pass...nice bit of flair...great hair!

For someone who's more defensively minded he's got a lot of quality on the ball. He's also good in the air too. I think Sanchez could well make a late push for POTY.
Very good player. My biggest concern about him is that in 18 months time he'll get poached off us, but I'll worry about that when the time comes.

A few more signings of his quality and we'll be a lot better.

He's an idiot.

which is the politest thing your could say. You must be completely and utterly blind and stupid not to be able to recognize a really talented footballer like Sanchez.

The problem with Sanchez is he does the basics very well. The water carrier role if you like. Some people don't get those sort of players. Kevin Richardson was often under rated but we really missed him on the rare occasion he was injured in the BFR days. Similarly I used to drink with a bloke who didn't get what James Milner brought to the team. I think he was looking for one outstanding quality and missing the fact that Milner was not so much outstanding in one department but very good in a number of departments.

George Boateng was the most under rated player of the last 20 years. Sanchez is the first player since George that I've thought could play that role.

As far as that last point goes a mate of mine calls him Jackson 5. He keeps asking me "How's Jackson Five doing?"

Full credit to Paul for signing CS

I give all the credit to our scouts.

The Rico analogy is a good one. Great player great captain. If Sanchez can learn the lingo I nail him on as future El capitano.
As for Rico, that bloke won a lot of medals. Legend.

[PaulWinch again]

He's going to be class.

[OCD]

If we've learnt anything, we'll be offering him a new contract at the end of the season. Or we could just let him walk away on a free like we normally do.

You mean like we've done to nobody we wanted to keep since Thomas Hitzlsperger??

I had a chat with Kevin Richardson when he had been subbed (or maybe he was waiting to go on) in a low key pre season friendly at Witney Town in 1991. He said he was glad to be home because he didn't like the beer in Spain. Fast forward four years and I was working in Tenerife. He was watching the Grand National with the rest of the Coventry squad in my local (I think they had been knocked out of the FA cup and took advantage of the chance of a weeks break). I had a chat with him and he moaned about the beer. I can honestly say I am ITK on this one. Rico isn't a fan of Spanish lager.
