Even if Ramsdale does well and stays, Pope will still be leaving next summer, and a more long term option will then be coming in I imagine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 28, 2025 Share Posted July 28, 2025 Quite surprised how bad people think Ramsdale is. Is it just because of the optics about him saying he can't concentrate? Admittedly that's bad. I know we've always overrated Dubravka but he could never play for Arsenal or England. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menace Posted July 28, 2025 Share Posted July 28, 2025 This only makes sense if the Greek is being moved on and we're using that money to fund this. He really isn't an improvement on Pope/Dubravka. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine droping £5m for him on loan Freedie Woodman on a free was legit a better option. Rather sign Angus Gunn on a free instead, at least he's best mates with Murphy.

He got forced out of Arsenal because he wasn’t comfortable with Arteta’s requirements for his keeper to have a high starting position and to contribute in possession. He’s a worse goalkeeper than Pope in terms of the fundamentals and isn’t a big enough upgrade on the ball to make up for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was perfectly fine just a couple of months ago at the end of the season, but all of a sudden he's done? And Ramsdale isn't shit, it's uninspiring I'll give you that, but he's not shit, and was pretty solid for Arsenal for a few years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elric Posted July 28, 2025 Share Posted July 28, 2025 (edited) Fucking Ramsdale man Better than The Greek I guess. Probably. Just start Pope for 10 minutes then sub him on so he can concentrate and that. Edited July 28, 2025 by Elric Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted July 28, 2025 Share Posted July 28, 2025 File under low risk low reward, I guess. If Dúbravka is away we need another keeper and if we can get a PL-experienced one on loan as we resume the search for Pope's successor, fine. Seems fairly pragmatic, just un-exciting.
