I'm just impressed somebody involved with transfers at united has a spine and made them cough up the maximum amount, again a piss take amount of £12m - £15m was rumoured, I'm glad that the bargain section is now closed..

The comment about the pay cut when he was playing shite is refreshing in my opinion, some of these big time Charlie's need telling straight, I'd have loved to see the look on his face when he got that answer..

But lets not forget the money this transfer brought in was needed, and regardless of promises on training grounds etc, we needed it to pay players wages and loan fees, remember, we are skint, so we can't go too hard on the board..

Exactly this. We’ve been trampled on before many a time with outgoings. If only we’d been a bit more like this when it came to selling Maguire, the Kyle’s, DCL etc.
 

Hes really not done much wrong. Mountain out of a mole hill here. I’ve personally still got a lot of respect for Ramsdale. Think people need to take rose tinted specs off and get some perspective. The club clearly lied to him which i find more worrying as it’s going to create situations where players want to leave.
 
Ramsdale seems to think United should have accepted whatever Arsenal offered just because it’s Arsenal and he wanted the move. He doesn’t get he was OUR player under contract and whatever valuation we placed on him was up to us. If we said £100m it’s £100m.

I also think whoever made that comment about when he was letting in goals was not wrong. His poor performances contributed to relegation. He shouldn’t forget that.

As for refusing to play, what a tosser.

Good riddance to him, wish him nothing but I’ll fortune.

Always preferred Henderson as a keeper. Let’s not rewrite history, Ramsdale was crap for us that first 10 games and then massively improved. Even then he was only the best of a very bad bunch. Good luck to him now.

Do you mean 10 months

How did the club lie to him? Our valuation wasn’t met. They came in with a stupid offer of £17m, should we have accepted that to suit Ramsdale?

Its all in the video mate. The reactions on this thread are so OTT.
 
Very convenient he refused to play against West Brom given he probably knew they'd throw it straight at him (a la Verrips) and potentially doing what Verrips did reducing interest big time
 
Gin&Juice said:
I don’t blame him. Whoever said that was out of order. He even said it himself he didn’t mind staying, but fair fucks Arsenal is and always will be a bigger draw. Always been a Top 3 in terms of MASSIVENESS alongside Man U and Liverpool.

How’s anyone suppose to compete or get ‘massiver’ 😂 if every club bows down to them clubs. Don’t blame him for the move but glad United stood firm.

It's quite a coincidence that he made his Arsenal debut away at West Brom only 7 days after refusing to play for us there. It was a totally different WBA team, but coming out with a 6-0 win as opposed to a 4-0 loss must've given him validation.

Why is over the top , why should he refuse to play because we won’t sell him for a valuation lower than we want , would you sell your house for less than you want. He signed a contract and should honour it.

Why would rammers, who is a boyhood blade say these things unless it had significance. Hes seen one side of it and from his side he was being played and lead along, the clubs seeing the other side of it (financial). Both are valid. The hate for Rammers is OTT, i think people need to put themselves in his shoes as well.

He wasnt a boyhood Blade and isn't from Sheffield. Wasn't he picked up after being released by Stoke? Let's not kid ourselves as to his allegiances.

Aaron Ramsdale was a major factor in our relegation. It must have been a nightmare playing in front of him for that first half a season.
 

For some reason I always thought Foster was a bit classier than that and a bit different to the usual big-time players. But gushing over the signing on fees, acting as if it's terrible that someone said something that hurt Ramsdales feelings, then having no comment when he admits to going on strike to get his move. Nobhead
 
In Summary-

First half of relegation season shocking buy.

Second half was usually MOM for us.

Cannot blame him wanting to scoot off to Arsenal no young footballer would have not wanted that.

Cannot blame United for once holding out for correct amount of dough.

Wish he'd played against West Brom- but we would have still got beat.

Seems a nice lad- good luck to you Rammers.

Right now Wes doing fine..

My bad, he always look like he enjoyed being here though and spoke about having an affiliation with the club/fans when with us.

From what I got he refused to play because (according to him) the club said if he wanted to go they "wouldn't stand in his way" but then they refused the bid. Perhaps no one explained to him and he just thought that's the club lying to him so he took his own little protest to not play.

I liked him as a keeper eventually and he had some big gloves to fill from Hendo. I don't begrudge any of these two lads for leaving to go big clubs but I do think this massive love Rammers is getting may go to his head - then again it would anyone.
 
The comments regarding salary increase if the move fell through seemed really ill advised. Whomever stated, "we didn't give you a pay deduction when you were letting them in at the beginning of the season" is sort of spot on.

He literally only played well in 10-15 games for us. We were relegated and the lad expected a pay increase? He was a shambles for at least half a season.

He got his big move he was desperate for, not really sure why he feels the need to bad-mouth sections of our club in retrospect. Particularly given it was this club that developed him through the juniors and were the only ones willing to give him another shot at the PL after he had played a role in Bournemouth's relegation. Lacks a lot of maturity and class.
 
Refusing to play is kicking your team mates in the nuts, very unprofessional.

Don't get me wrong, any young player would have jumped at the chance to play for the Arse, who, let's face it, will probably never be relegated from the top flight, just like they will probably never top it, so you have a steady wage for the rest of your career, as a Premier League player.

To think I defended this self centred cunt on here when he was costing us goals and points game after game and he openly says he went on strike to force a move to Arsenal:mad:
He was happy enough to return to us when his club Bournemouth got relegated, happy enough to sign a long contract to stay in the Premier league so I think we had every right to play hard ball with Arsenal over the fee they would have to pay. I wonder if he will once again go on strike if Real Madrid show an interest. Says it all to me about the type of person he is. Good luck to the twat he could fall from grace just as quick as things have gone for him.
Dean Henderson twice the keeper twice the person.

Club Playing Hard ball or twats ?
How they valued him at 40 million was twatish
They knew they had to raise 40 mill through player sales after relegation and he was, at the time our only sellable asset.
And why shouldn’t he look for more money , he was sellable after all.
 
Not getting too worked up about what a young millionaire football has to say really. Who cares?

Ultimately he was a terrible goalkeeper for us for the majority of his second tenure. He 'came good' in the end, but for me a lot of that was regulation stuff anyway, it just appeared he was fantastic because he actually caught the ball a few times. He's doing well now so fair play to him.

Keepers are often confidence players. Look at League One Wes now, took a lot of flack but actually looking quite assured. I know who I'd rather have in net between LOW and the keeper that Ramsdale was for most of his time here.

I think our board had accepted that a suitable bid for Berge wasn't come in, so knew they need to maximise the Ramsdale sale.

In short, we got 30m (or will get 30m) because we asked to 40m. If we'd gone in 30m, he would've have gone for 20m etc etc

Ramsdale's agent should've reassured him that it was a standard selling club tactic and just calm down and be patient, instead they wet their pants at the numbers and threw the toys out of the pram because United were, quite rightly, acting in the club's interest rather than Ramsdale's.

40m isn't that far fetched when you look at the other fees for bottom end PL / top end Championship players have gone for, and most of those didn't have 2 years' PL experience and weren't already in the international reckoning.

Overall I don't really care about the stuff he's said and most Blades already assumed the majority of it, but coming out and saying it is a different thing altogether. A very high risk low reward thing to do.
