CB Fry Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 2 hours ago, trousers said: Will Arsenal give the nod to sign / announce Ramsdale whilst there is still a hope they can get Garcia though? I suspect the official signing / announcement will go down to the wire if Arsenal keep trying for Garcia all day... This was the point I was trying to make yesterday. Ramsdale is coming to us. If Arsenal fail to get Garcia the back up is not that Ramsdale doesn’t go. The back up is Arsenal get another keeper. Ramsdales announcement for us is not directly related to what Arsenal are doing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the scenario if Arsenal fail to sign back up today - I'm assuming that's a possibility? Do they still let Ramsdale leave if they don't have a decent back up keeper?

CamSaint Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Interesting comments from RM on McCarthy in this morning's press conference: 'On Aaron Ramsdale and Alex McCarthy: "I think it will be massive, I some of the guys will be surprised that he is coming but I think it is big. I think it will give everyone a lift. There is one guy who won't be happy about it which is Alex [McCarthy] and Alex has been amazing for us, if he hadn't have come into the team and did what he did we wouldn't have been promoted. "Without Alex we are not in the Premier League. I will be forever grateful to Alex. he has been great this season, people will talk about the mistake at Newcastle but he was brilliant on Saturday. It will be a big call if we get Aaron on time for tomorrow's game, so I feel for Alex. While I am really happy Aaron is coming in and excited about the group we have, I really feel for Alex. It is a really tough part of football. Someone is always going to be upset and unhappy. I have no doubt Alex will be a brilliant teammate. "If Aaron comes in the building, he knows we have someone we really trust breathing down his neck."' Although that reinforces many people's view on whether we would have got promoted had Bazunu not been injured, it is pretty much the first time RM has ever publicly implied any criticism of Bazunu. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not what he was saying. McCarthy came into the team because Bazunu, the first choice, was injured. What he's saying is without someone like McCarthy being able to step into his place, we'd have struggled to go up. Probably more criticism at Lumley than anyone, but I didn't read it as critisism at all. Edited August 30 by S-Clarke 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad he's finally in agreement with the fanbase some of the fanbase, hypocrites who were delighted how he stiffened our defence at a most crucial time of last season. He played well and gave the defence confidence, as he commanded the penalty area. He has made one error this season that did cost us, apart from that he had make plenty of crucial saves. Aribo hasn't had the pelters for his mistake that led to a goal, or THB poor show against Forest etc etc. Once fans have their perverted dislike it is tough to change their views 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 4 minutes ago, Patches O Houlihan said: Having a goalkeeper who can actually make saves is going to be a refreshing change for us, it feels like it's been an issue for so many years. I was always confused when Arsenal side-lined him after that season, he was excellent for them. Has the move to Raya given them that extra %? No, not at all. Very odd way to treat him. Our gain though. We're defo. fortunate to be getting someone of his level, it's ridiculous in fact. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_Ash Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Reporting on Talksport that he's on £100k a week and easily our highest earner. Makes sense.

HarvSFC Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Best signing we've made in years in terms of the here and now. Sounds like from the press conference earlier that Martin wants him to go straight into the side against Brentford tomorrow too. Some of our more successful signings in recent years have been the ones from the top clubs who can't quite get game time there - Bertrand, Ings and Romeu were all a very high standard. I don't doubt Ramsdale will be the same having been Arsenal's number one just a year ago. Also won player of the year awards at both Bournemouth and Sheffield United and was named in the PFA in 2022-23. There was a thread on here earlier in the summer asking what was the last transfer that excited you. It's this one. Up the Saints. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micky Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Very happy with this one, getting a bit of quality into the building is what we need if we're going to stay up. Still need someone to get the goals though. Welcome Aaron, great to have you here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
