But where does this leave us in our GK search? Surely the club would have had a suspicion that this might happen, given his injury record, and would have a backup option. Surely?

M271 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 3 minutes ago, Matthew Le God said: If that were to happen, we'd have a horrendous season every other year. That wouldn't be great, regardless of enjoying the promotion years. And would build up the ‘scar tissue’, demoralisation again. P.S. ABK was down at an Ocean Village cafe this afternoon with his partner and baby, so he doesn’t seem to be on the verge of a transfer although of course there are still 3 days to go 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Matty 76 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Pray to be proven wrong but I don’t think we’re capable of the finances required for Ramsdale.

Midfield_General Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 1 hour ago, trousers said: Could it be argued that instead of spending £15-£20m on "average" players we'd be better off spending £30-£40 on half as many "very good" players...? (i.e. ye olde quantity vs quality debate). That's how I used to build my Fantasy Football team anyway.... ‘Very good’ isn’t always a quantifiable thing though unfortunately. Worth noting that some of our biggest flops have been the players we paid the most for. Sulemana, Vestegaard, dear old Guido, Onuachu and Elyonoussi are all amongst our top 10 biggest ever signings, with Lemina, Hoedt and Djenepo not far behind. All disasters. Just paying more for a player doesn’t guarantee quality or that they’ll be a success. Not putting all our eggs in one basket is a risk mitigation strategy, although on the flip side you could also argue of course that buying cheaper players with less of a track record brings it’s own set of risks. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t, basically. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
