Saint Fan CaM Posted August 30 Author Share Posted August 30 That shirt looks 3 sizes too big - his usual sizing judging by previous pics.

Midfield_General Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Absolutely incredible signing. Has the potential to be the most important single player we've signed since Ings, and the best keeper we've had since Niemi. Welcome aboard Rambo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Duckhunter Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 On paper looks a great signing. He’s got a bit of devil & character in him which is great with a keeper. I’ve no doubt he’ll pinch the odd point here and there which could make a massive difference come the end of the season. Far and away SR’s best signing & probably the first time since Rickie Lambert we’ve signed a stand out oven ready performer in our league . The absolute best keeper available to us, well done to all involved particularly Lego. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectisSaint Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Good news. Hope that Saints pushing the boat out for him has not had a detrimental effect on signing attackers. In the end having a decent keeper will not earn you too many points, unlike effective attackers. We will not win games if we don't score goals. By the way sorry if I don't get it, but who is Hagrid? Is he the Robbie Coltrane character in the Potter movies? Have never read books and only seen one of the films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I thought we had a chance, but I assumed it would have been a last min loan deal for the season - but the fact we've managed to get him here on a 4 year deal is a pretty big coup, big outlay on transfer fee and wages and a huge commitment from the owners to push this one over the line. We haven't had a proper goalkeeper since Forster's initial stint here, this feels like a signing long over due and as long as we remain up then he will be our GK for many years. I know SR get pelters, but as owners they have backed this club to the hilt ever since they have been here and for that I thank them. They may not always execute their ideas right, but all their intentions are there as this proves. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSA96 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Being reported that an unnamed Premier League club (understood to be Nottingham Forest) came in for Ramsdale after seeing Saints agree the deal with Arsenal, but Ramsdale's agent told them he wasn't interested because he'd already spoken to Russell Martin and said he was coming 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Can we say thank you to David Brooks as well? This is probably his biggest contribution to us, a little underwhelming during his loan spell, but we'd never see Ramsdale here if it were not for Brooks. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazunu had one of the lowest in the championship at something like -26. Anyone no need to analyse Bazunu to death anymore. He will likely barely play again until he shows incredible development which is great news. Edited August 30 by hypochondriac 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you not think it will be obvious to all at the club the difference in standard when Ramsdale & Bazunu are training together April/May/June next year? Would we not loan out Ramsdale for our year in the Championship, and then get him back once we return: RM spoke today about how our signings have been long term - clearly with one eye on having a solid team in the Championship if the worst happens.

goodymatt Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 This is the best signing in years, giving us real hope of survival and if we do survive, a platform to build on to get back to the middle ground of the premier league. It’s difficult to understand how we were the best option for him, it’s not often our signings fit that category. Future England number one? Hats off to the recruitment folks, this is huge. I’m genuinely absolutely buzzing about this. I think i read a stat once that suggested as a general rule, you almost always survive if you concede less than 60 goals a season. Ramsdale gives us the best chance of doing that. You cannot underestimate how important a top goalkeeper is, especially in a relegation battle. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will make mistakes but he will save us plenty of points over the course of this season. That’s the difference. Bazunu passing it about well but underperforming his expected saves the most in the league 2 seasons running. This isn’t just an upgrade, he’s on another planet to our other keepers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
