Dokko Posted July 28, 2025 Share Posted July 28, 2025 I've never had a problem with Ramsdale. Think he's a better all-rounder than Pope, but not the leap I'd have liked us to make. I think he's the same level as Trafford, but Trafford has years to develop a better game, whereas I think Ramsdale has stalled and not progressed, but 27 is still young for a keeper.

My problem is we seem to be purposely cutting ourselves off from most of the young talent in Europe. With our transfer policy we won’t get the next Salah, De Bruyne, or Saliba, our competitors will. We aren’t even really going for any young talent. For an explosive winger Elanga isn’t ‘young’. We should get players with lots of room for natural development. We are only targeting players that can be Howe’d which I guess is similar but is still harder to sell on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUICE690 Posted July 28, 2025 Share Posted July 28, 2025 We’re going for Aaron Ramsdale. But Liverpool will come in with a higher bid, right? . . . Right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted July 28, 2025 Share Posted July 28, 2025 In time I do think Howe can help make Ramsdale a better keeper than Pope. How made Dubs a better keeper at crosse and getting off his line in his mid 30s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted July 28, 2025 Share Posted July 28, 2025 6 minutes ago, Rich said: Reading Arsenal fans opinions on him, they seem to rate his shot-stopping and say he has talismanic qualities/leadership. I’ll take that, tbf, even a few Saints saying he was largely quality for them last season. Not surprised. They liked him at Arsenal. I was going to say I was surprised by the reaction on here to the news, but then again I'm not really Think he was silly to join the clubs he did after Arsenal, but Southgate had told him he had to be playing to keep his England place and I think he rushed things. Should have waited for the right move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWMag Posted July 28, 2025 Share Posted July 28, 2025 Loan with an option, don’t see the fuss. If he does well, we get him permanently, if not, we can send him back and reevaluate our targets in 12 months. decent move considering the above. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What surprises me most is how it's Eddie's biggest fans who kick off the most about these moves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Posted July 28, 2025 Share Posted July 28, 2025 Absolutely no problem if it’s a loan with an option. Let our coaches work with him and have a look over 12 months, as part of succession planning for Pope. We would be buying the dip, and there may be good upside. Fully expect at least one gk to be moved on if this progresses. 100% sensible business considering where we are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyc35i Posted July 28, 2025 Share Posted July 28, 2025 (edited) Same. I wouldn’t be against this as a loan with option to buy as a short term fix. We’re going to need to move on Dubravka and Vlachodimos at some stage and this allows us to do that now. Once we get a new Sporting Director in place we can start to plan for next summer and getting a long term transfer strategy in place Edited July 28, 2025 by andyc35i Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
