Based on literally everything about him. Just watch his post match interviews when we lost, or last season when things were going from bad to worse with the board.

i wish it was that simple, but even if players fancy staying with us (i’d imagine rammers might), the allure of big £££ and big clubs playing in the best league in the world/Europe must be too good to turn down, plus the added allure of turning out for your country. Especially with such a short-lived and fragile career which a footballer has. I don’t blame any of our players for leaving us this summer

I had a similar thought yesterday when Ramsdale came on screen at the end of the game - he must be the only one in that squad on less than £100k/week. As much as he loves the club and enjoys being a part of it, there's going to come a time, probably accelerated by his representatives, when he's going to want a move. I don't know him at all so I may be off the mark, but he doesn't seem to be the type solely motivated by money, so a chance to move to a bigger, more successful club, certainly one in the Prem and potentially one challenging for honours, might be the 'pull' factor that drives him to a move. Having another £70k/week to spend won't hurt either :)

Should imagine Sam Johnston and Ben white will be on similar wages but still take your point.
 
As much as Rammers might love SUFC and not be actively looking to move on (especially as he only came back last season for our relegation shitshow season) let's call it right. If Arsenal were to come in for him and were to offer Utd some serious money enough for a bid to be accepted, Rammers would have to be off his fkin trolley to turn the move down. As much as it pains me to say it, Arsenal are in another stratosphere to us. I can live with that as a fan as I couldn't really give 2 shits about them or the other major players and SUFC will always be the top club to me but then it's not my career. If the right offer comes in then he's off, and quite rightly too.
 
I’m pretty sure that Rammers will be an Arsenal player before the season kicks off, their interest is genuine, Arteta is a big fan and will pay whatever it takes to get his man.

Utd aren’t in a position to turn down a significant profit and cannot hope to come anywhere near competing on salary. Ramsdale might have a great affection for the club, but a move to Arsenal would make him financially secure for life and he’d be a fool to pass up the opportunity, not that his agent would let him!

100% correct

genuine for Ramsdale, testing the waters for Berge.

Financially secure for life? I’m mean, what’s he on now? £20k+ a week? That’s over a million quid before tax a year.
I mean, if that doesn’t make someone financially secure then what’s the world coming to!!

Maybe he thinks he needs more game time before any big move and going to Arsenal would not necessarily give him that for a few years.

Not another one of those off-days he had when dabbling in the transfer market. Doh!

Depends what lifestyle you want….£3m quid over a contract before 40% tax etc isn’t going to set up a lad of 23 for 60 years of sitting on his arse and living a basic life. That’s not figuring the inflation in that time either.

£500k buys you little more than a 4 bed detached house in most decent areas of Yorkshire for a start.
If I’m him….I want to be able to buy the nice house, nice cars, send the kids to the best schools, enjoy luxury holidays away from the riff raff and live so if I need something I can get it….and at his age a 3 year contract on £100k a week means by the time his contract ends he’s seriously achieved that and been able to invest in business, meaning any contract he gets after that just has to cover him to live until he retires from the game and then his business income pays for the rest of his life living a millionaire lifestyle.

Imho anyway

We might have only seen him for 30 mins, but decision makers at the club are likely to have seen more of him. The people with the experience and skill set to assess footballers capabilities are the ones likely to make a decision, and therefore less of a gamble than us fans might think (if he becomes 1st choice).

Is Verrips now back at the Lane and training? Does anyone know?
 

FriethBlade said:
Much rather sell Berge for a similar amount. Hes had a bad injury and from what we've seen so far, playing for us, hes not a 35m player

Rammers on the other hand could be our keeper for the next decade so on a like for like basis is worth a lot more to us than Berge is.
Click to expand...
I agree. However, will anyone pay the big bucks we are apparently insisting on for Berge? Hopefully, they will.
The longer we refuse to play ball with any club offering pittances for Berge, Baldock, etc., the better.
Maybe some club will see the light and pay what we want.
On the other hand, to sell Berge for the sum we are looking for seems a no brainer. What did he actually add to the team following his arrival? If he hadn't come to us, we wouldn't we have missed him? (If you know what I mean?)
 
Handy Rammers is away. It gives Slav a good chance to evaluate the other keepers.

'm sure I read somewhere that all Verrips talked about in training was porn.

We should five him a go. See if he can rise to the occasion! 😁
 
Couldn't resist that one and I know I should be on the entertainment thread😎

Maybe not but, the point is he wont be as financially secure as, say DeGea on £350,000 a week, for doing the same job 🤦🏻

Good job utd if true. I think asking for that figure and settling on £30m+ percentage and add ons would be fair

It really is a breath of fresh air seeing us as a club as for top dollar not a kebab and chips for our prized assets. Long may it continue.

One is 23 the other is 28,one will cost over £30m the other £20m,one is better than the other.

Arteta should go for the older,cheaper,inferior one.

40 million is the we don’t want or need to sell price so either pay this overinflated fee or go away. That’s very positive in a few ways one shows we’ve finally realised that we can play hard ball and two shows we’re on a secure financial footing at least in the short term.
