Fuck off.

If it’s an option to buy and not an obligation, I don’t have any real issue with it tbh.

Apart from time taken on negotiations and possible size of loan fee and his  high wages. 

 

Unless both the Greek and dubs are definitely away I see no need to push this to the front of the to do pile

[Solitude20]

Another EPL target.

Worth a read

“Nah he's still decent it's just that other ' big' clubs don't want to buy our 2nd choice option for other reasons. One of which could be optics.

Chelsea don't want to admit Ramsdale is better than all their fkin keepers.

Onana imho isnt as good.
Well apart from with his feet & Utd spent shed loads on him.
Aaron is at least on a par with the Sp**s keeper & the Newcastle one.

If he was free ability wise he gets in pretty much every team in the league outside the top 4.

Do they want to spend big bucks is the real question?

Simple fact is that the BIG teams outside the top 4 trying to bridge the gap to get back in the CL have decided they have more pressing needs than spending big on a GK at the moment.

It certainly doesn't mean he ain't good enough”

 

Look forward to seeing him Howed. Also not shitting myself every time the ball goes back to the keeper

Get the transfer bath ready! And the toaster. Christ.

The recruitment team are a complete mess 😂

[Shadow Puppets]

Uninspiring, but if it’s a loan with an option I don’t really care. He’s a decent keeper (nothing more nothing less).

[Pilko]

Goalkeepers must be British and must have Premier League experience otherwise they're automatically crap, seemingly. It'll be Sam Johnstone or Daniel Bentley next.

[Guest]

An old Bournemouth player who has been relegated with 3 teams, incredible

[Kid Icarus]

At this point I think we just need a quick fling with someone we wouldn't normally look twice at to break the dry run and gain a bit of confidence

[SteV]

 

“Ramsdale only wants Newcastle”

[duo]

When you think this window couldn't get any worse

Can he play up front too.

I love that we rang up for Dibling and they convinced us into this instead

[thomas]

If I was Howe I'd probably be acting exactly the same tbh. 

• saved a club from relegation
• 2 CL qualifications
• first trophy in 70 years

you're goddamn right my shit doesn't stink. Sign who I tell you to, bitch

I dont know if its been mentioned but Dubravka wasnt with the squad when we were in for Trafford, then joined the squad when Trafford fell through... they said it was an injury but im fairly certain hes leaving.

 

Im not going to give my opinion on Ramsdale because im aware that im in the minority on this one and sometimes it right to let people vent. 

 

All I will say is that when the dust settles, I reckon this will look like a really sound piece of business, despite the calamity that has been our summer thus far.

[Joelinton7]

It seems like journos have gone proper early with our interest in players this summer. It’s always “no bid made”, “lots of work to do”. Fucking wait until something concrete has happened you planks.

[Scotty66]

Didn't Ramsdale bottle it a lot in high pressure games for Arsenal? Make poor mistakes etc?

 

Really not the kind of thing we need.

 

But worse still, why on Earth are we pissing around looking at goalkeepers when we have much more urgency for other positions.

 

This sort of thing should be done after we've strengthened all our positions that needed strengthening and we're fishing around looking for bonus deals.

 

Pope and Dubs more than capable for us this season imo.

[ToonAbroad]

I know it's a simplistic view, but this feels like one to put energy and time into on August 29th once the critical positions are sorted. Very meh.

So true. 

 

Reminding ourselves what a signing looks like isnt the worst thing.

 

It's like when you are on a losing streak and someone says "how about we just dont get beat and build our confidence from there". 

 

Signing Ramsdale is like 0-0 draw away at Stoke, is what we wanted? No but weve ended the losing streak and we can go again.

[Toon1984]

Newcastle fan ‘to do’ list:

1. Criticize club for trying to sign PL ready players and showing ambition in the transfer market.

2. Claim the club got the strategy wrong and should have gone for more realistic prospects.

3. When realistic prospects are targeted, throw toys out of pram because they’re not good enough.

4. All the while try to disregard PSR.

[midds]

Aaron. Fucking. Ramsdale? 

 

That's it? This window is fucking aids

They said he was flying out to meet up with them. Turn the plane around.
