BREAKING NEWS: Fans have voiced their concerns repeatedly, yet their complaints have been ignored

Former Chelsea defender William Gallas has voiced his criticism of the club’s decision to sign goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, arguing that the move was a poor choice by the club’s recruitment team.

Gallas believes the Spanish shot-stopper has failed to prove himself as a reliable first-choice goalkeeper for a club of Chelsea’s stature.
Sanchez, who previously showed glimpses of promise during his time at Brighton, has struggled to cement his place as the undisputed number one at Stamford Bridge.
His performances have been inconsistent, leading to doubts about whether he possesses the necessary quality to thrive at an elite club like Chelsea.

Gallas, who played for the Blues between 2001 and 2006, is adamant that Sanchez has already demonstrated his limitations, suggesting that he lacks the skill and composure required to succeed at the highest level.
The Frenchman did not hold back in his assessment, placing significant blame on the club’s recruitment team for their role in bringing Sanchez to the club.

He believes the decision-makers should have conducted a more thorough evaluation before finalizing the signing.
According to Gallas, the responsibility does not solely rest with the sporting director but also with those involved in scouting and evaluating goalkeepers.

He expressed disappointment that the club failed to recognize Sanchez’s shortcomings before making the transfer.

While Sanchez still has time to improve and prove his critics wrong, Gallas appears to have little faith in his ability to do so.

Many Chelsea supporters likely share this skepticism, especially given recent developments regarding the goalkeeper’s position in the team.

Manager Enzo Maresca recently opted to drop Sanchez for Chelsea’s match against West Ham, a decision that further fueled speculation about the Spaniard’s future at the club.

Speaking to Prime Casino, as cited by the Metro, Gallas openly criticized Sanchez’s performances, stating:

“Unfortunately for Robert Sanchez, he makes too many costly mistakes.

It’s easy to put the blame solely on the player, but Chelsea fans should also hold those responsible for his signing accountable.

“The sporting director, along with others involved in recruitment, must take responsibility for this decision.

At a club like Chelsea, a goalkeeper must meet a certain standard, and unfortunately, Sanchez does not.

“The people making these recruitment calls should have done better.

Typically, it’s not just the sporting director involved in such decisions—there is also someone overseeing goalkeeping matters.

That individual made a significant mistake in signing Sanchez.”

Chelsea has a rich history of world-class goalkeepers, with legends like Petr Čech and Thibaut Courtois having previously held the number-one spot.

Identifying a top-quality successor in that tradition remains one of the club’s priorities, but finding a player of similar caliber is a challenge.

For now, the scrutiny surrounding Sanchez’s performances continues, and with Maresca already making changes in the goalkeeping department, the Spaniard’s long-term future at Chelsea remains uncertain.
