CONFIRMED Aaron Ramsdale sold to Arsenal

[Millhousesblade1889]

I'd sell him for £100m

 

[Harry's Game]

Problem is even if this money is given to Slav to spend there are 13 days left before the transfer window shuts and it take this club on average one month to sign any player.

 

[HeySethUTB]

My perception of the situation:

We have already sold Ramsdale for £28m pending personal terms

(the surprising part the Blades Way mentioned is the fee being so high, although could there also be a P/ex player involved???).

The evidence for this is SJ's latest comments, plus Davies transfer completed yesterday, and Vieira is now inbound (IMO also complete pending media etc). I reckon the rumours were true regarding us needing to free up funds before signing anyone (and this was achieved by selling Ramsdale).

We will also push on with Diallo and Olsen next week and look to get those done ASAP, as well as 1-2 other wide forwards/creative midfielders, hopefully permanent or loan to buy

P/ex involved, interesting that they are desperate for Reiss Nelson to sign new terms before he is sent out on loan. We need pace and width that’s more reliable than mousset.

Would be an unbelievable signing. £25m plus Nelson on loan (we cover wages)

Let's just hope the arm twisting is confined to an outfield player from Arsenal, seems they are more than happy to see Runarsson their keeper move on.

Similar situation with Garner at Man U I believe...

Just means that if he has a stormer of a season, he wont end up being able to leave on a free.

Diallo/Nelson would be a beastly wide pairing, hope this comes true!

 

[Nelson1889]

Trae Coyle, Tyreece John-Jules, Miguel Azeez and Folarin Balogun could all be interesting. I don't know a great deal about the rest of their U23's tbh

Any relation?

Yes, it is his nephew.

If, if Rammers is sold, can we please make sure that we have a replacement iminent and not protracted like every other purchase or loan we do!!

We do not want to sell Rammers and have Fotheringham as the only back up keeper!!

 

[tincan]

It's a bit of a double edged sword, I think the big difference re Rammers and Henderson is confidence,with Henderson its overflowing, bordering on arrogance, Rammers looks and behaves like a good lad ( similar to most in the squad, no side to them etc ) that's happy to be playing, good in one respect bad in another, and if he did have Hendersons belief chances are he would have pushed for a move

 

[Blade56]

If true 28 squillion quids

 

[tincan]

And if we are to take on these talented loanees and we do go up. They go back and we are going to have the same problem next year.

 

[adamawdhali]

I wish Arsenal would stop pissing about. They’ve spent months on this. You know the price. Pay it or piss off

 

[Addison]

Arse journalists desperate to paint any transfer as low as £20 mill with add ons despite noises to the contrary that a fee of £28mill is now being considered. This will drag on to the end of the window if they think we'll agree to a deal that low.

Key for SUFC now is getting a replacement ready before any deal is agreed otherwise he stays with us. Unless a deal worth closer to £30 mill surfaces in the next 24 hours I expect Ramsdale to be between the sticks tomorrow. As others have said the very fact they keep coming back puts us in a good negotiating position and we should screw them for all we can get if Ben White is valued at £50 mill.

Their in full swing now apparently it is the brilliant brinkmanship of Arsenal negotiating team that has now forced little ole SUFC back to the negotiating table desperate for the money. Expect next headline to be "Blades adopt Maguire negotiation tactics and go cap in hand to the mighty Arse asking forgiveness and offering to knock £5 mill off the price"

Looks like Arsenal are in a really tough place, re the players they want, the fees involved and even if they sign them, they still have a shaky defence and a strike force that won't play every PL game this year

[Aganarama]

Athletic suggests £24m plus add ons

 

[Balham]

I'll rephrase that for Gunnerblog...

"Arsenal & Sheffield United have indeed resumed talks about resurrecting a deal for Aaron Ramsdale. #SHU lowered demands. Negotiations are delicate, & outcome uncertain, but now some optimism an agreement may be reached"

Should be

Arsenal & Sheffield United have indeed resumed talks about resurrecting a deal for Aaron Ramsdale. #ARS stopped taking the piss and met #SHU demands. Negotiations are delicate, & outcome uncertain, but now some optimism an agreement may be reached.

That was the reported price arsenal didn’t meet last week but suddenly we’ve dropped out price and they’re now paying it journalism is a wonderful thing

 

[John Cutsbushes]

Thought he didnt want to go?
I know it's true, I read it on here

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Oh, what do you know? Ramsdale wants to go...

No one argued he didn’t, the issue was you saying he was actively putting out stories to force our hand. You were saying he was “gutted” and unhappy the move has been pulled when he was in fact happy to stay if they didn’t meet our valuation. The press leaked stories seem to be (as many of us mentioned last week), was what Arsenal would do to try and drive down the deal and under settle him. It hasn’t worked and now they’ve seemingly returned to the table with an increased offer, again as several of us suggested last week.
Almost boringly predictable.

 

[gaffablade]

£24m plus add on, plus Maitland-Niles for a season long long, or fu(k off

 

[Pedro Verde]

Im a bit disappointed if United are willing to accept £24m plus add ons after reports saying we wanted in the region of £28 / 30m unless it involves a player coming the other way on loan
As previous posters have said its doubful there will be any add ons triggered

 

[Bladeloyal]

Will be sad to see rammers go ,think he would have become one of our all time best keepers ,but if it releases finances to shape our new style of play then ,thats life ,utb

He will be going to a ship without a rudder though

We're more like a rudder without a ship at the moment. Not for long though

 

[Jacobsenthecrab]

£24m plus add-ons is great business for us as his value will go down the longer he stays in the Championship.
We would also be in a much weaker negotiation position next summer if we don’t go up.
The England call-up came at the right time for us to maximize his value, and it’s refreshing that we have held out for a good deal as in previous years he would have gone 3 weeks ago for £10m or so.

 

[Shirty Blade]

If so we can buy 24 Barry Bannans!
