Aaron Ramsdale (Out)

[Topside]

I wouldn't be surprised if Ramsdale is involved in a swap deal with either Newcastle or Chelsea who we have a good relationship with when it comes to transfer deals.

Ramsdale could be valued at 35 to 40m on books for FFP reasons, Newcastle have two players we are linked with Isak and Bruno. Chelsea will have to move on a few. Gallagher one year left on contract seems linked to Sp**s but they simply dont ever do business and the fans would go into meltdown if he goes there.

Could do a decent job for a lot of teams also maybe we revisit Mudryk his value has tanked either player would be straight swaps.

If Newcastle are interested I think we could see a similar deal to what we did with Raya.

Would help sweeten any Isak/Bruno move.

This is the most realistic take on a “swap” I’ve read proposed here.

Swaps don’t happen or players don’t get thrown in deals because both sides want to use their prospective transfer fees on their books.

But I can see a deal where we buy 1 of the 2 Newcastle players, and we do a handshake deal which is a loan with an obligation to buy kicked down to the next summer window in order to let Newcastle use their transfer elsewhere in this summer window.

Watched him on that "Guess the Gooner" video Arsenal put up, will definitely miss the lovable oaf.

Can see why people find him annoying, but find him quite funny...gun to my head I still would have probably given him one more season as our number 1 and see how he does.

Hope he doesn't turn bitter like Emi did when he leaves.

Just wait till he winds up the fans while playing a blinder as Newcastle squeak a 1-0 win at the Emirates. It's written, I tell you.

How much we talking? We don't have much bargaining power and Newcastle don't absolutely need him so we will probably only get our 30 million back

More is better but getting our fee back will help with FFP and increasing our summer budget

We'll probably spend 30m on his backup. Which is important because as city showed you need your backup to be almost as good. Any hiccup due to Ederson injury would have seen them lose the title.

It’s a loan btw.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

it'll be 20M or loan with 20M obligation depend on Newcastle financial situation.

Ortega came on a free, Turner 5.8m Euros, Runnarson 2m Euros, Trusty 1.8m Euros. We won't be spending much more than the Turner buy.

 

[Iwobeast]

Hopefully it sweetens any other deal for Newcastle players

 

[Mitch]

Should be asking for 50m for one of best shot stoppers in league and last GK of year.

Ramsdale will improve toon. I can see Chelsea, pool and Toon fighting it out for the 4th spot (it will be a 2 horse race again next season with villa finishing 3rd).

you don't need to spend 30M on backup there many good keepers out there can do the job it's difficult to convince a very good keeper to be backup Man city got Ortega as free transfer he was playing in bundesliga second division

Can't take the risk of a cheap buy. Turner, Trusty, Runnarson(lol) are all liabilities. It'll be great if we can get an aging gk who still has something to give, I'm looking at Sczesny. But barring that, if we're going for the title the backup goalie has to be perfect.

 

[Trilly]

Ramsdale to Newcastle is a weird transfer. Pope is about to come back?

There’s talk Newcastle want to get younger at the position, so Pope would leave if Ramsdale comes in and Dubravka stays as #2.

i'm sure we'll be looking for more capable players than Turner or Runarson these guys were bought for low risk because we were rebuilding.

Pope is neither a ball playing or sweeper keeper. Probably looking to follow the trend.
