StanBalaban Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Bit strange playing Sanchez at cb instead of a natural cb Clearing part of the bomb squad like cissokho Think it was more to do with getting Sanchez some minutes in pre-season than anything tactical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamDouggie Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) Don't understand this one. He came to us and was ridiculed by most fans before putting on the shirt. Then he instantly performs and helps gives us the best start to the 14/15 season we could possibly imagine. Gets loads of praise, gets injured and then labeled as no good and made redundant! Personally I think we need another 2 experienced/quality CB's and I don't expect us to get both. So why are we not using this fella? Please sherwood, with all your efforts in building an exciting midfield and attacking force please don't let it go to waste by neglecting our defence. Either sign two useful CB's or use the ones we have! Edited August 1, 2015 by AdamDouggie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thevillanofoz Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Ok So this is what I heard re Senderos, it's second hand but if the source is correct it's straight from the dressing room. Basically Senderos has been deemed fit by the physics since half way through last year but has been ruling himself out saying he's still not right to return. It's apparently pissing a lot of people off, anyway if true you could see why Sherwood would be less than impressed. But take it with a big pinch of salt.

VillaChris Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 All I know is he made the bench in the Everton home game and hasn't made the 18 since and barely played in the friendlies so like Cissokho he's just not part of Sherwood's plans. Can't see anyone paying money for him so think he'll leave on loan to a european club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I'm hoping at his age he will want to just play games and therefore will be happy moving on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I don't the validity of the claim, there's something not quite right about this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackpotForeigner Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 He certainly looked like he wanted to be playing when he did play. That was one of the things I liked about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Looked decent when he played. Id start him on Saturday. Won't happen of course - I think he is done here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted August 3, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted August 3, 2015 The only thing Senderos was guilty of last season was being injured. When he played he was rock solid and passionate, and he surprised a lot of people. I think he would be good to have around this season as an experienced head, it would be a shame to see him go.

omariqy Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Senderos has a been a professional throughout his career so I doubt he has started going rogue now. He has never let this club down when picked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beeky Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Those first 3 games last season, Senderos and Vlaar were pretty amazing. Surprised everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkyluke Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Those first 3 games last season, Senderos and Vlaar were pretty amazing. Surprised everyone.the term Senderboss was being thrown around I remember! He was solid when he played, can't comment on him taking himself out of contention, but if that's a load then I'd keep him around for options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Is nobody on here even slightly concerned what effect a six month injury layoff might have had on him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Definitely proved there's more to him than most gave him credit for - me definately included. That Philippe Senderos walked in and looked so good probably says more about our defence than it does about Senderos though. If the time out has sorted the problem then I have no problem with him seeing out the year on his contract being 3rd/4th/5th choice CB, especially if we loan out Baker then we have a ready made squad replacement in my eyes. He is the most experienced CB we have. Thing is with no new CB news, Richards not impressing pre season and Okore being injured the answer in the squad (if fit) is Senderos. I wouldn't bat an eyelid if we shipped him out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cudoz Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) I loved his performance against Liverpool at Anfield. He got stuck into Balotelli in the first half which resulted in him sulking on the wing. Could have been sent off if the ref noticed, but it was something we lacked at the back, a bit of nastiness at CB. He's experienced and a good player to have in the squad in an area we are lacking in experience. Edited August 3, 2015 by cudoz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) What has happened to him? Is he still not fit!!? When fit he is probably the best CB we have at the club. Edited August 3, 2015 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope that is not the case as he could do a job for us. Having said that with Baker signing a new contract and his absence from the pre season suggest to me he is on his way out. Unless of course Baker is going to be loaned out and Tim is confident in Senderos such that he does not need to try him out as lets face it it there was a strong element of experimentation in the friendly line ups. All unlikely I know but just about possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted August 4, 2015 Moderator Share Posted August 4, 2015 I still think he is the best CB at the club and if fit would be my first choice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
