Saint Fan CaM Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Looks highly likely to be headed our way on a loan deal, so thought he deserved his own thread. If it happens it’s one of the best signings in a summer of pretty great signings. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aaron-ramsdale/profil/spieler/427568 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 (edited) Have I missed something? Everything I've seen points at the dutch chap, we tried for Ramsdale but Arsenal wanted too much. We've moved on surely, which is why the other move is now advancing - may well get done today. Edited August 23 by S-Clarke 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gio1saints Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 (edited) Ramsdale is£120 pw and £5m fee. Bijlow is c £15m and probably £50k pw, In year1 with Ramsdale we commit to near £11m including wages. Thats before any haggling. We may get him for c £6-£8m with luck for one year of his services - if nobody else bids. And then there is obligation to buy. If that’s a sensible figure ( say £20m) then that’s another THB situation for what turns out to be a high class player for Saints. He may be worth much more than £20m if he keeps us up for instance. Bijlow otoh is going to be c £15m and wages c £50k pw. The transfer fee may get haggled down -but the wages won’t. He costs saints c £3m on a 5 year deal plus c £2.5m in wages total £5.5m. He may be worth double in a year if we stay up though - and gets to be Dutch #1 accordingly - value nearer to £30m. Both good goalies. One rather injury prone. I personally think the buying option is simpler and gives longer term ease of mind but it’s a close call either way. Very Happy with either. Both incentivised to stop goals cos they want to be national #1. Thumbs 👍 up either from me - and they start NOT bench!!

We've a couple more sales to make so we can probably afford it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltonaggro Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Knowing our luck we will get Bijlow and Stewart in for the Brentford game. Both play blinders, and then a clash in the 8th minute of injury time puts them out for the rest of the season. Saintsy... It's going to be Hagrid or Robocop, either is great news...

S-Clarke Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 (edited) I would imagine the 'this season' finances in the Ramsdale deal are very similar to that of the Bijlow, main difference is the outlay would be on a loan rather than the permanent. Something the club will have to weigh up. If they can negotiate a reasonable obligation clause should we stay up, which factors in financially what we've covered this season, then it could make sense if we get him for say £20m next summer.

Barsiem Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 I'm actually a little stunned some people would prefer Bijlow over Ramsdale... Nothing to do with who is better for our system but the simple fact that Bijlow has been very injury prone and we can't afford to be missing him for half the season! You'd think we'd learnt from Stewart. Don't get me wrong I'd take Bijlow over AM & GB but if we have the option of Ramsdale for only a few £m more for the year we should do it 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough shout for the club. Edited August 23 by Saint Fan CaM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it could happen to anyone but clearly Bijlow is much more injury prone than most goalkeepers. For me we should be going all out for Ramsdale. He's not actually that bad at playing out from the back, just not as good as Raya but still better than a lot of keepers in the league.
