Saint Matty 76 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 It looks like it’s £18m if we go down, and £25m if we stay up. Arsenal have a sell-on clause but you’d assume we’d be able to make that money back quite comfortably, on the assumption he’s dropped his wage a little.

Hawkswood Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Beyond thrilled with this. A real statement signing and the experience and confidence he'll give the defence and the dressing room as a whole will be immense. Apparently a really good guy. Well worth every penny 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmer Saint Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 35 minutes ago, CSA96 said: £25m fee agreed between Arsenal and Saints for a permanent deal The COT called it two and a bit weeks ago - issue hasn't been fee, it's been convincing the player of the move (as you would moving from Arsenal number 1 to a relegation favourite). Has a very favourable release clause if we get relegated though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality, proven player in a key position. Going for quality rather than gambling in key positions has to be the way forward. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Tone Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Delighted with this signing. Had thought a permanent move wasn't on because of his wages. Could have fiddled that on loan but can't think how we've got round it long term. If he's taken a pay cut to be able to play, then good for him 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypochondriac Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Watching his compilation videos it occurs to me that I don't think I've seen a keeper make consistent reaction saves since Niemi. That's about 20 years of substandard keepers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr X Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Ramsdale is a great signing and gives us renewed hope, let's hope it's paired with a proven striker there's no point in keeping clean sheets if we can't score😂, at least he knows he will be a busy keeper here and not a bench warmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypochondriac Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Ramsdale Sugawara THB bednarek kwp Is really a defence that shouldn't be relegated.

Hopefully him and Downes are the answer. Fernandes looking good tonight though. A lot will hinge on the likes of Archer, Armstrong, BBD and whoever else we bring in. Need them to be decent.

CanadaSaint Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 This surely has to change how we play. Ramsdale is much more comfortable making an early, long, crisp pass to a wide man, but less so with short passes at the back. We surely can’t spend 25 million on a keeper, play to his weaker skillset, and outlaw his stronger skillset. Can we Russ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but we won't be selling for a loss. Not many are going to pay more than £25million for a keeper who is realistically only good enough to be first choice for 15 out of the 20 Prem teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
