Yorkie Posted July 29, 2025 Share Posted July 29, 2025 No beef at all with signing Ramsdale on loan. Pope will get injured again and Dúbravka is an unknown quantity at this point; last season was probably an Indian summer, you'd think. He was a disaster in 23/24 and we can't have him playing Champions League games again. Shame about Trafford but the cartel fucked that for us (don't respond). A good goalie who Howe trusts and costs next to nowt is a good backup to have. Elanga, Ramsdale, Gallagher and Wilson's replacement and we're getting somewhere. Replacing Isak, who knows how that goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonAbroad Posted July 29, 2025 Share Posted July 29, 2025 Also just happy to see the GK resolved so fast after missing out on Trafford. Full focus to the other areas now! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRC Posted July 29, 2025 Share Posted July 29, 2025 Huge upgrade on the squad, can really see the vision in what the back room is doing here, coming off a great season with Southampton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegans Export Posted July 29, 2025 Share Posted July 29, 2025 No strong feelings either way on this one. I wasn't fussed about Pope when he signed and that turned out to be a good piece of business. At the very least the £4m loan fee is a £20-25m saving on Trafford which will hopefully allow us to sign one of our top targets sooner rather than later.

Danh1 Posted July 29, 2025 Share Posted July 29, 2025 After my initial feelings, I don’t actually think this is a bad deal. Loan with an option, £4m fee they reckon, not bad. If he’s shite then we go again next summer when we have a capable recruitment team, if he’s class then happy days. Pointless slating the lad, should be getting behind him.

Minhosa Posted July 29, 2025 Share Posted July 29, 2025 Now I’ve had time to reflect on this, despite my initial reaction being one of disappointment, I actually quite like it. Makes commercial sense. Saves budget for other positions. Kicks the can down the road for the next few years until we find the next top keeper worth splashing big dollar on. Him and Pope will know each other and push each other and allows us to clear out Dubs and the Greek. It’s a yes from me this move now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted July 29, 2025 Share Posted July 29, 2025 Do we reckon he sits on the bench until Pope gets injured/ out of form or do we reckon Eddie sees him as our first choice keeper straight away? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted July 29, 2025 Share Posted July 29, 2025 It’s okay, he’s okay, the price is okay. Goalie box ticked on the cheap; now we can finally throw cash at the real problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd expect Pope to start at Villa Park, Ramsdale to get his first start in a cup game of some kind & depending how Pope has performed up to then & how Ramsdale does when he plays, he might take over as #1 after that.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 29, 2025 Share Posted July 29, 2025 Think it’s decent and also shows a nice quick pivot after we missed out on Trafford. Helped by the fact Eddie probably has his personal phone number and didn’t need the actual recruitment team to make it happen Have always rated him quite highly although admittedly was concerned about that thing he said about concentration. Ultimately he’s a good keeper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted July 29, 2025 Share Posted July 29, 2025 Shirt is Pope's to lose but they'll be in competition all year. If he hasn't usurped Pope by season's end we can cut loose. No downside really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted July 29, 2025 Share Posted July 29, 2025 (edited) I like this signing and I think most of you lot will to before long. He could well end up being number 1 pretty quickly. Edited July 29, 2025 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycap Posted July 29, 2025 Share Posted July 29, 2025 He's not a sweeper keeper can just see a load of him been stuck on his line like Dubravka used to do giving no support to the backline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
