CONFIRMED Aaron Ramsdale sold to Arsenal

[Keen Blade]

Sheffield United

They might have sounded ok to us (who don't scout properly or do our due diligence on their history) at the time of purchase.
But I'm talking about today , after 18 months of convincing evidence that they are fading , useless & fairly useless , respectively.
And the buying club will definitely NOT pay wages higher than what they're on at the Lane , so good luck trying to shift them !
We are stuck with them 3 , Stevens , Robinson , Osborn , Fleck , Burke , Brewster , Lowe , Freeman , etc etc , unless we want to loan them out (with a wage subsidy) or sell them for peanuts.
The Wilder legacy is a squad pregnant with mediocrity , irrespective of whether you're in the PL or Championship.
The only way to progress is through introducing our younger players and/or selling our only saleable assets , Rammers & Berge , which would allow SJ to bring in some quality players of his own choosing.

If that’s real I respect Ramsdale all the more.

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Fans wanting to sell ramsdale so we can finance a QPR keeper and a 500k winger from Crewe is finest example of we never think like a big club.

More like fans accepting the reality that a sale of that level is needed to fund desperately needed replacements to fix an incredibly imbalanced squad.

 

[ancientblade]

To be fair to SSN, they said at 7.00pm transfer show that he’s in talks but fee not agreed as yet, so perhaps it’s close but no cigar as yet

well hes obviously going isnt he just a question of how much we can squeeze out of arsenal like ive said before on here ive always been a big fan of rammy but weve so many holes to fill i think its the right decision for the club and gives slav more flexibility to bring the players in we badly need

 

[SufcBilly]

Don’t panic Fellas and Ladyfellas, Harry on Twitter has spoken and Arsenal have withdrawn all bids.

 

[LJBlade]

I would back Glyn Hodges left foot to know more than old Bucktooth hacksaw tbh.

Heck I would back anyone here to know more than him

Possibly so. I’m just saying that the 5 names who were mentioned as being ‘close’ by Nixon didn’t include Dieng, it was Kirk instead.

£30M including add ons but we still have to get a replacement 1st choice keeper in or the deals off. Berge looks to be staying put and best of all, looking to offload Burke as a sale or makeweight. Hes being touted around. Night night everyone lol

 

[tincan]

Let's not forget this is the club that quoted us £15m for a 19yr old with 6months left on his contract and with no 1st team appearances in Balogun. Yet it's fine to value an England international at pittance.
Business is business but I wouldn't wish Rammers at such a turd of a club..

Makeweight? More like paperweight...amarite

 

[Roygbiv]

Has he never seen any tweets?

 

[metalblade]

You do make me laugh some of you guys when we don't sign anyone it is because we pay crap wages, when we want to move some on nobody wants them because they won't pay them what Sheffield United do.

 

[Blade58]

If Burke only possessed a football brain he’d actually be ok

Shame but for me both Burke and Moose should be moved on if any club would take them

Yes, I know Moose can be decent but he’s no use to this club if he’s forever on the treatment table

That sounds eminently sensible from the board. Are they aware they're representatives of Sheffield United?

 

[Blade56]

QPR fans are acting well hard about how he won't come here.

Acting hard? Acting feckin hard?

weeeeeeerz view from them acting hard?






And i bags firsties

 

[AdamSufc1997]

Going to be hard to offload Burke tbh unless we just swap him for Kirk

Fucking brutal from Slav if that’s the case. Up until Saturday Burke was a first choice forward, one standard performance from him and he’s out.

still more important for me is getting the players in we need especially in midfield get the right players in and a top goalkeeper wont be as big a priority imo

 

[HeySethUTB]

No way Burke accepts going to crewe as part of a swap deal

 

[diplomat]

Yep, exactly, many of the flaws on team metrics or Wilder tactics, rather than necessarily him individually as a goalkeeper

Over the last two seasons, he has faced a high volume of shots and has conceded marginally fewer goals than he was expected to concede with a decent save % and with trends improving over time, looking at the second half of last season vs. the first half and also his PSxGA stats for us (small +ve) vs. Bournemouth (small -ve). He also had 4 errors leading to chances in the first half (and 2 leading to a goal) but zero in the second half. So overall a decent picture given his age.

Amusing that Arsenal sold Martinez who was probably the best GK in the league last year for a figure less than they are reportedly looking at Ramsdale for today!

Which segment are the best keepers in on that?

I'm willing to chip in with the Taxi fare

I hope people realise this will mean we take even longer to sign players and sander will leave

Eh?

 

[adamawdhali]

Eh?

We need to sell to buy

 

[beatific blade]

Just now…

 

[bertieblade]

Latest from the Athletic that the move is unlikely to go ahead as we cannot agree a fee
Representatives of both clubs met today for face to face talks but arsenal are not prepared to go beyond a guarantee of £20m whereas Utd want more and initially demanded £35m

good to know we are sticking to our guns!

 

[beatific blade]

 

[Camden Blade]

According to The Athletic talks on verge of breaking down clubs too far apart in valuations. Apparently Arsenal won't offer more than £20 mill upfront.

Arsenal’s Ramsdale move on verge of breakdown as clubs fail to agree valuation

Arsenal’s pursuit of Aaron Ramsdale is on the brink of breaking down after the two clubs failed to agree on a transfer fee. Representatives of Arsenal and Sheffield United met on Wednesday for face-to-face talks in Hertfordshire, but there was still a significant gap between the two sides’...

theathletic.com

 

[FriethBlade]

The Athletic is reporting the deal is on the verge of breaking down as a fee set be agreed.

They reckon both clubs met at a hotel in Hertfordshire today to 'thrash out' a deal but they couldn't agree a fee.

Apparently Arsenal unwilling to guarantee more than 20m and our board don't think that's enough profit on what we paid for him.

The days of us bending over are well and truly gone

Beaten to it !!!
