Its more that when he's got less than a second to make up his mind he tends to panic and give the ball away.

I'd think Sanchez is at least capable of that should that be asked of him.EDIT: Anyway, I finally had a look around for the actual details of Sanchez's loan, and the results generally seem to suggest that there'll be a 2.6 million pound fee if he plays in enough games, which sounds like a decent enough price for a 31 year old with one year left on his contract, so the discussion's probably moot.I think if we can get 10-12 million for the three of them, and add a little bit of money on top of that, and possibly sell McCormack, and that really should be enough to fill the holes in the squad (cover for Jedinak, a centre-half or two, possibly a left back if Amavi leaves)
The thing about Sanchez is, is the Championship really played at the sort of breakneck pace that he wouldn't be capable of handling? Plus, it's not like Jedinak or Gardner have been asked by Bruce to do anything fancy on the ball.

Hoping Richards will be off (given up hope of Agbonlahor going) as well as a couple of others. As you say, there should be enough coming to have not too much of a net spend in the summer.
I thought if Gil could have moved the ball on quicker he would have been better. That's something that could have come with experience of playing in England. That said there is always an issue of him being bullied. Small players aren't always necessarily run over, but he seemed to struggle more than most.

Small players aren't always necessarily run over, but he seemed to struggle more than most.I agree. When Gil was in possession he always seemed to take 5-6 touches and slowed the game down. Obviously there was often little to aim at, but i always had the feeling that was his natural style of play.
Fucking mental. We would be bound to get some money for him if we sold him.Nearly as stupid as bringing in a highly-rated goalkeeper and sending him on a two year loan.
