Dr.Spaceman Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I don't mind Dummett as a 4th or 5th choice CB, we're not going to do much better unless we start eating into the FFP / PSR bollocks and there's other positions we need to be looking at before worrying about who our absolute worst case scenario centre back is. Still reckon a quality right winger transforms us more than anything else. And I'll still bang the Raphina drum. He's absolute quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1892 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 What happened to Alex Murphy? He looked promising in pre season. A new CB and right forward needs to be our priority. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 (edited) Back up GK, new CB, new RW are the minimum requirement, especially if Miggy is out for a couple of months. on top of that, a new DM who knows how to protect the back four and a new striker to replace Wilson.

I like Gordon on the right so maybe a new left wing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, given the circumstances I’d rather give the likes of Murphy or Heffernan a go than rehashing Dummett for another season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sima Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 No thanks on Ramsdale. He only has age as a positive over Pope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I know he fucked up the other week v Brentford but I like him. Very good age, has experience in the PL playing in cannon fodder and sides competing at the top. Would love him here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_n_white Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I honestly don’t think a number 6 is something Howe will look at, there will be other positions that he’ll consider priority over that one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't come here to be on the bench, he probably could start for a number of other premier league sides. Due to budget can't see us spending large on GK, I think we roll with Pope and get a backup GK in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon they’re about neck and neck, altho rambo better with feet. Perhaps they may go horses for courses? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Ever since that podcast episode where he said he can’t concentrate for 90 minutes I can’t get behind it Better options out there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 He wouldn't come here to be number 2 and whilst he's better with his feet than Pope I don't see him as a significant upgrade that justifies the fee Arsenal would want for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Ramsdale has a great fitness record, if the medical team think Pope’s injury will be a recurring one I can see us getting him. Though it’s probably better to ask a magic 8 ball than our medical team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 (edited) He was number 1 for a team that finished 5th and 2nd. Sweeper keeper, good with his feet, good shot stopper. Think he'd transform us tbh. If we want to switch from a high pressing team to one that keeps the ball a bit better then that starts with being comfortable playing out from the keeper.

Novocastrian Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 My transfer priorities would be: 1. CB - critical 2. ST/CF - critical 3. RW - not highest priority, Gordon can play on right, Minteh could come back, next window if funds don’t allow 4. CDM - with everyone fit we will have a lot of MF options, I’d like a specialist defensive player but we need to strengthen elsewhere first Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Depends on whether we get europe next season as well. If we don't I think we could live without another striker or midfielder. CB and RW is a must though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 With Ramsdale, I wonder if there’s scope for that to be a loan with option to buy (that’s triggered easily)? Arsenal get guaranteed fee, we get to delay it for FFP books, but also added incentive for Arsenal, he can play against their challengers but not themselves. If Arsenal are not in a rush to get FFP fund this summer coming, it could be an option that makes him more interesting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man has said that he has difficulties concentrating for 45 minutes, let alone 90. Not a great thing to say as a goalie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
