Plonk Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Dem blavdes now trying to rewrite history claiming they only paid £10 m for him. So ignoring that,£18 m buy, selling for £24 m less the apparent 25 per cent sell on and buying QPRs keeper for £6m having already sold him for a million in the first place. Great business.

nbupperthongowl Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 According to talksport....I know.. arsenal have pulled out, so that is their transfer budget to buy new players halved Let's see if arsenal want the midfield glacier now.... maybe they want a bogof deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffield_dave Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 “Talks broke down” is an interesting way of putting it. I reckon both teams caught wind of the £30m being circulated in the media, burst out laughing (for different reasons) and then the signal dropped off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbupperthongowl Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 They are now trying to spin 'he didn't want to be second choice at arsenal'.... looking like United went full on DC and asked for £30m... largely based on his England credentials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 You'd flog him for 15 million if you had sense. Reinvest in the playing side if you can. Trying to tell me they couldn't attract a more than capable Championship replacement? Bonkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adem Poric Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 If they only paid £10m for him then surely they cant ask for £30m. I get asking high if they paid high but he's utter bobbins so they need to get what they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but he made some good saves towards the end of the season even though they still lost nearly every game and he got into the England squad (by default because there were literally no other under 30 English PL keepers) but he doesn't want to leave anyway because once a blade always a blade or somesuchbollocks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 The fact he's fourth choice is testament to how poor the current pool of goalkeepers is. And he only got in because I think Pope was injured and Henderson has COVID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could kinda understand Berge, as he should be a standout player at this level. Rammy just isn't that good. This is a club who've supposedly not got much to spend, but are reluctant to sell a pretty average keeper for say 20 to 30 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I suppose they'll try and hold out for more. I just find it weird that a club of Arsenal's calibre would be in for him, maybe that's where they are atm as well though.

Ever the pessimist Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Is there some sort of quota about British players in the squad? That’s the only reason I can think of for Arsenal wanting Ramsdale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fudge27 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Pigs doing the old DC ask too much trick. This is mental that Arsenal were willing to pay that. If I were them I'd go and get Romero as 2nd choice then use the £20-£25million they save to try and tempt Gueye from PSG or Barella or De Vrij from inter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
