midds Posted July 28, 2025 Share Posted July 28, 2025 This doesn't improve the team or the squad at all. Not against loans, I've been advocating them all summer as a way to plug the gaps in the squad but the GK position is different. We didn't need more depth we needed a significant upgrade to Pope or divert funds to other positions and stick with Pope for this season. To bring in Ramsdale and move Pope to the bench (or have them battle for the number 1) makes zero sense to me. He's not an upgrade and he doesn't improve us. Each week these fuckers find a new way to make a complete horse's arse of things off the field, it's beyond embarrassing now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAK Posted July 28, 2025 Share Posted July 28, 2025 As long as it’s an option to sign rather than an obligation then I don’t mind. He’s a good but unspectacular PL keeper but a little emotionally unstable. If it tides us over this season until we sort out the CEO, DoF and scouting out and improves this mess of transfer of a transfer window I won’t complain.

Crimson Cardigan Posted July 28, 2025 Share Posted July 28, 2025 It’s a loan with an option. It is not worth getting upset about. He will do just fine and plug a gap for now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

christ Posted July 28, 2025 Share Posted July 28, 2025 He was in the PL team of the season a few seasons ago. Doesn’t feel like he went through a precipitous drop off in form either, just got unlucky that he was the odd man out at Arsenal and there were no good options last summer. Not saying I love this transfer, but I think some of the criticism is a bit OTT. Particularly in light of Pope’s injury record and the fact Dubs has clearly been promised a move away.

Pope and Ramsdale fighting for for the number 1 spot. In that respect, it absolutely is an upgrade. My hope it that’s its a short stop gap while we put an actual out and out number 1 on hold until next Summer when Pope will leave. Thats the only way I can make sense of it.

He's a brilliant football manager but the recruitment team, as a collective, has failed to match what Howe and the players achieved on the field last season. As I've said I've got no idea how much of a role each part of the mystery team plays or who needs to carry the can for this summer but, as a collective team, it's been a hideous, embarrassing and sobering summer. They've humiliated themselves imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
