Bought in 2017. Showed some good qualities and potential in his first season.
In fact, didn't too much wrong.
Tougher second season and some of his weaknesses became a bit more evident. Still he did ok.
2019/20 was a bad period for younger players looking to improve. Poch was pretty much spent and then we got Jose who doesn't develop players.
Since then Sanchez has had very little in the way of actual development from a coach.
There's been no arm around the shoulder or confidence boosters for him.
Sadly, when you have a coach whose solution to lapses in concentration is to kick the player rather than really work with him. Thos is the result.
He wasn't this bad when he joined. Yes he has weaknesses but he coped with a lot of tough players well.
If you spend 40m on a degender with potential then you need a coach who guides them, if you don't want to hire a coach like that then you should sell these players are sign players who don't need as much work.
The fact that since we signed Sanchez we have only signed Romero and Rodon, one of which was never ready, tells you the story.
Chelsea, United, Arsenal, City etc etc would have lost faith after 2 years of no development.

I have to say, the treatment of Sanchez by the fans was a complete and utter disgrace.
He is nowhere good enough and he shouldn’t have been brought on but you don’t boo your own player and cheer like that when he gets taken off.
The clue is in the word ‘supporter’ imo and I think modern day football and social media has eroded a lot of what it means to support your players, instead replacing it with a fickle, toxic environment where you’re only as good as your last action. And that goes for all football clubs, not just us.
Along with the abuse Porro has received online, it has made me ashamed to be a Spurs fan tonight and that’s more depressing than the defeat itself.
Long gone are the days of our supporters getting behind Danny Thomas when he missed a penalty in the UEFA cup final. God how I wish I belonged to that generation instead.

I agree with your assessment of his demise at this club but I disagree with you pinning this on DL.
DL could have wanted to sell him but who was going to buy at a reasonable price, given the way he's been played?
It's unfortunate that he hardly developed technically, especially on the ball, despite having Toby and Jan near him.

Wasn't he close to going to Spain a year or two back but we pulled the plug?
(This may be wrong as my memory is atrocious - it could have been a dream for all I know!).

No probs cuz mine is bad too.
I think there are rumours every now and again, but in the end without knowing the price/club it's difficult to say more.
Wages is probably the main issue too.

These so called supporters should be ashamed of themselves and what they seem unable to comprehend is that by humiliating the man they will make him worse, not better. It is shameful behaviour.

Yeah, that's also why I feel for the lad.
He's pretty much wasted his career trying to make it with us, he's never shirked but has never really got proper development or a proper chance.
Some may choose to argue that he was happy with his wages and the comfort at Spurs but the behaviour of some fans towards him today was disgraceful.
It's not his fault we're all in the state we're in.
That's a keen observation. While i realize it is probably best for him to go, there's a part that hopes a new manager comes in, understands how to get the best out of him, plays him and makes the fans eat crow, Emerson Royal style. The boos were more embarassing than the performance on the pitch

Is the behaviour alcohol related?
I ask because i just dont see who benefits when you boo your own player when they are on the pitch other than the opposition. It is just baffling. Just because you paid a lot of money to watch, that doesnt give you the right to act like that. There were people celebrating like a goal was scored when he was subbed.
The fanbase has form for this, they did this with Emerson earlier and i remember when they did it to Gus Poyet once.
If you want to vent, surely you do it after the game, or on social media but not when your team is playing, surely you are suppose to support and encourage when they are on the pitch.

We were linked with Kounde in a swap deal but he didn't want to join, I believe the Sanchez to Sevilla part was agreed
This, all boils down to total incompetence from the board, player trading when they have only hit the jackpot once with Bale and every player since being the wrong decision.
The coach selection has been abysmal, pragmatic low block coaching that sucks the life out of any player.
The next coach choice will be everything.

That's my view too.
I don't blame him for his lack of progress. It may or may not be his fault, so he gets benefit of doubt for me.
I also don't see what's wrong with feeling comfortable at Spurs; it's a good thing. Being comfortable doesn't mean you stop trying. The demands of PL means you need to work hard just to even stay at the same level.
He isn't that diff to Dele, in the grand scheme of things, for me. Both have outstanding attributes and clear weaknesses; difference being one brought us joy for a brief period because he plays in a position that thrives on 'moments'.

From the experience I have at games I think it’s the younger fans that seem to be more vocal in abusing/booing the players at the game. Maybe this is not an accurate though.

He got the ball around the halfway line today and carried it forward and the crowd booed him. Arseholes and cretins I might even be tempted to say fucking arseholes and cretins.
As it happens strictly speaking the two goals weren't in any way directly down to him but there you are., I don't suppose anyone wants to hear that.
