I learn so much here. Edu turned down 40 to 50 million for this mediocre GK then sold him for 25. The market is what it is.
Mega Brain Arteta tanked his value. Could have sold him for £30m+ at the end of last season, but instead we gave him a bumper contract and made him a no.2 and not play him for a season.
That £16m loss should be taken out of artetas bonus.
Demanding a huge fee for Ramsdale doesn’t sit right with me after how the club been treating him. It’s ****ing cruel.
And btw I do think Raya is the better keeper and it isn’t close. But giving him a new contract, then then make him surplus of requirement and then make it impossible for him to leave is awful.
No better than how Chelsea have been treating Raheem
Got a good source for turning down 40-50 million pounds?I learn so much here. Edu turned down 40 to 50 million for this mediocre GK then sold him for 25. The market is what it is.

I read we paid £24m for him, and we will get £25m if clauses are hit.I know it’s transfer window time and the bedwetters need to exaggerate every single little thing but it’s not a 16m loss or close to it. If performance related clauses are triggered after he leaves we’ll come close to breaking even.
Also when Ramsdale did get minutes last year his performances didn’t exactly impress. He’s mentally not strong enough in a position that demands it and completely unsuited to fighting for his place as he just loses confidence to the extent he becomes a liability. That’s not even mentioning his self-confessed concentration issues…..at a club where we don’t give away too many shots so even easier to switch off
Genuinely seems like a good guy and in a club where he will face more incoming attacks as won’t be able to lose focus but ffs some here need to pull up their big boy pants and move away from nappies
Never happened. I don’t think people understand how amazing this deal is. Once a keeper lose their spot and are on high wages. You have very little leverage as a club. I honest expected 10 million feeI read we paid £24m for him, and we will get £25m if clauses are hit.
Has a second choice keeper who hasn't played for a year ever sold for this amount before? I am not sure what people expect here.
we bought him for 24M and we selling him for 24M. he GK who played 5 games last season getting this amount is actually decent when you consider that Valencia keeper who gone to Liverpool for 30M is one of best in europe and levels ahead of Ramsdale.We are terrible at selling players, Ramsdale I'm going to miss & we brought him for a fair bit of money but as far as I've seen, we've sold him for only 18?

Oh well I read differently overseas numerous articles. As long as we didn't sell him cheaply compared to what we signed him for considering he's Englands 2nd keeper.
Sorry my laptop screwed up earlier but I'm pretty sure you'd be able to see my post earlier haha.we bought him for 24M and we selling him for 24M. he GK who played 5 games last season getting this amount is actually decent when you consider that Valencia keeper who gone to Liverpool for 30M is one of best in europe and levels ahead of Ramsdale.
Sarcasm alert. Some people posting here act like Edu had better offers for Ramsdale. He just isn't worth as much as some people wish he was. The market sets the price not keyboard transfer gurus.Got a good source for turning down 40-50 million pounds?
Wrong club but other than that pretty decent guess.18m + bonuses on deadline day.

I mean, Liverpool have signed one of the best goalkeepers in Europe for 30 mil. That's the market for goalkeepers right now. Using that as the measuring stick. 20-25 mil for Ramsdale seems about right.
