Hi Folks
Looks like a loan with a obligation to buy has now been proposed for Ramsdale. Fee in the region of 25 million.
We are now scouting a winger called kone who plays in Italy think it may be Florentino.

If such a deal came to fruition there would be at least two problems coming down the track:

1. Ramsdale’s future salary expectations and its impact on the salary budget and subsequent group salary expectations;

2. Not sure spending £25m next year on this goal keeper will leave much room for further acquisitions (if this transfer window to date is any measure) in the 2025 Summer Window.

With the sourcing of young players with bright futures can’t we go down this route and retain the current ‘keeping staff’ until a new young goalkeeper is ready?

Because the one we have got is a problem. He doesn’t deal with any crosses, cannot judge diagonal balls into the box and cannot play football with his feet.

In which case Tommo why replace him with a keeper who ALSO struggles to play football with his feet?! I feel like a LOT of the people that talk up Ramsdale haven't actually watched him play much?! Why do you think Arsenal spent a fortune on a keeper with some of the best distribution in the Prem (Raya)? It wasn't a coincidence that is who they picked to replace Ramsdale!
