This is a quick video looking at the qualities of our new signing, the details of the transfer as well as how he might fit into Slavisa Jokanovic's system.
There's also an update on further deals both in and out.

In the Know but can't tell. You're the worst, Hal
Just joking mate, another snappy video packaging everything up nicely.
Clearly Rammers is in a difficult position. Him moving has become a possibility with genuine bids coming in. He'll also see his SUFC wages possibly dropped from the prior season and he'll be aware of how much his wages would be if he moved at Arsenal.
At a poorly informed guess I'd imagine the circumstances could be like this:
Signs for SUFC on 25-30k per week.
Relegated and drops to 15-20k per week.
Arsenal start talking about him being offered 60-70k per week if not more.
He seems a great lad and as a keeper he can have a longer career than most, but that could be potentially a serious wage disparity right there.
Sticks where he is and gets 1m per year for next 4 years potentially, total 4m. Moves and gets 5% signing on fees - 1.25m already and then 3m per year, total 13.25m.
He's probably now at the stage, call it head being turned, where he'd quite like to be in the 13.25m camp and as a keeper knows this won't come up as readily as an outfield player given there is only one keeper slot.
His preference is probably amicable agreement and then sign the life changing contract. But he also can't expect the club to take peanuts or more or less a straight refund on him just to make it happen. Arsenal need to do their bit.
I can see his agent pushing for a compromise heavily and him leaving by end Aug.
He's also got to hope Arsenal pick up a bit because if Arteta gets sacked then all bets could be off, though it appears to be Edu running point on the recruitment.
That's my I'll informed guesswork anyway!
