Let me know your FINAL selling price for Ramsdale!
Another solution that nobody mentioned is having one keeper play all the PL games and the other play all champion league & cup games (Like they did with Ospina-Leno a few years ago). That way you increased Ramsdale value and potentially sell next summer.
So martin obi is moving to Bayern 😢
James, I couldn't agree with you more! This fits perfectly with Arteta's vision for transforming the club's culture. We are the Arsenal, a formidable team! It's time to implement this in every possible way.
If it doesn't make financial sense we keep Ramsdale, regarding Tierney I personally think that when Zinchenko came in he was more suited to the style of play, but in last season's Arsenal, Tierney would fit better.
If teams can't pay 50 mil for rambo then we should keep it .. we need to stand our ground
I love Ramsdale enough to want to let him go, because he simply needs game time even when he makes mistakes. The problem is that Raya will be allowed to make more mistakes than Ramsdale. If Ramsdale has one bad game, he immediately goes back on the bench. I don't think the same can be said of Raya as the number 1. Having said this, we might never get the best of Ramsdale again, unfortunately. I'd love to see him win something at Arsenal before selling him though, even if it's from the bench. Unless we get good money for him, I would keep him for one last season as backup. The risk is, if we don't win anything next season, his value will be far less than what we would get now. If we do win a major trophy (which odds are in our favour 🤞🏿) and he plays a part in it, well then his value doesn't drop and the risk would've be worth it.
Problem is not the price problem is the buyer. Every team has gk postion sorted.
I make you right James, let’s wait a little bit before pushing players through the door
I tend to not disagree with you much James but I think if we cant get £40m for Ramsdale, a loan deal to a good club (potentially with a buy on clause) may be good for him, he can show his worth and likely can sell him to either that club or another for £40m if he does well)
You titled your video inaccurately. We have an EDU GASPAR problem. Edu is awful with an "O" — that is, Edu is "Offal"!
Squad rotation is the problem…players go from good to unused
It does NOT matter.
No-one wants to pay the price? We keep him! He is a england international & young at 25! So let's retain him as a backup & let his value elevate – over time.
We know Edu is rubbish at sales. He needs help from the club! I have called for awhile for a dedicated team internally to work on this topic.
With modern transfer fees escalating, this becomes even more important. The clubs PR machine (a formidiable propoganda engine) needs to be a part of that Transfer Special forces squad.
Loan him out to a place where he'll be no 1. Preferably in the PL. He'll play, his stock will go up, and we'll get better value
Big clubs don’t often sell for big money. Big clubs pay little clubs lots of money because they really want the player. Smaller clubs pay Big clubs smaller money because the Big club doesn’t really want/need the player.
Small clubs enjoy a sellers market.
Big clubs endure a buyers market.
Made up problem, made up argument, work of a disturbed imagination by spoiled fans.
“History shows
History suggests
History will not allow to sell well
Every other club does great, but we”
What a load of crap.
What does selling well even means?
Who sells well? Chelsea? To sell 2 of their starters/rising stars to rival clubs.
City? Cancelo will go for free, you can screen it. Bernardo will exit half price.
West Ham? Scamacca and Haller both bought for 50 MIL sold for 20-30 next summer
Tottenham who released on a free 3 senior players
Honestly £50 mill a bit too expensive for clubs I would be happy with £40
Newcastle have Pope whose stats are better than Ramsdales dont get constant link neither will be ok as no.2!
Send Ramsdale on loan and hopefully he’ll build his value up again
I think the fans all got a bit excited with the Sesko talk forgetting that he hasn’t really done anything yet and wouldn’t improve our starting 11
You have to look at the one time we got top bucks for a goalie ie Emi Martinez. He had started most of the matches and had a lot of tape on him starting in the EPL. Can’t say the same recently of Ramsdale
I totally agree about not letting ourselves getting mugged off. I personally wouldn't except anything less than £25-30m. I think keeping him could be a really bad idea though! He would be lucky to get 5 games in the domestic cup competitions then he probably has some bad games because his confidence is shot to pieces and at the end of the season we would be lucky if we got £10m. Better to loan him out to a PL club that need him and can increase his confidence. That way we can at least maintain if not increase his value.
That's if he actually wants to leave
Guys, we're going to end up loaning him out 😑
Pay the money or go away, its that simple. Teams turn around and tell us we are being unreasonable, but then the same teams quote us stupid money for bang average players.
I'd keep him if the valuation is not met. I believe this is a must for us as otherwise we will show weakness and the other teams will keep taking advantage of that. We must stay behind our valuations so everyone takes us seriously, this is a lot more important than the money itself in my opinion.
Our initial stance should be £40m + add ons imo. We’re talking about England’s potential no. 1 after Pickford here. We should do well in this sale.

This is a hilarious take on Arsenal’s negotiating tactics
We’ve always sold badly and let too many run their contracts down – even Edu left in his prime on a free 🤷🏽♂️
For me i still favor Ramsdale over Raya by looking the shots raya faced the defence was fenomenal not the goalkeeper
So if i was the one in charge of selling my price must be £50m+ anything less than that means No deal
Teams across the world dont have the money like that to splurge their budget on one player…. most teams are feeder clubs for the bigger teams in the prem, Madrid and PSG
If robert sanchez went for 25, ramsdale can go for 40-50
@TheGoonerverse do a breakdown on Osimhen! I think he’s the no.1 striker target.
James! Rob holding? Really. Smh
35M to 40M minimum
The buyers should be scared off if they are not willing to pay.
If not because he doesn't want to be 2nd he should stay
So, how does it make sense for James Trafford and Aaron to be the same price?
Keep hom if you can for one more season except we get good price
You can sell at the price others are willing to pay. It's that simple- not that Arsenal are bad at selling. If a player we don't want is worth x to us but x-y to another then they just move onto another player. As we build a better squad, rotational sales will be far better. Thing is there are a section of Arsenal fans who slate some players but then expect another club to pony up a big fee?? You only get good prices when multiple clubs are interested in a player- the market decides the price.
Think our club is going to grow a lot under edu and arteta… they seem to have the finances under control and giving new contracts to hold players value. Not to mention we were strapped for a time with the new stadium
Rob holding wasnt starting because of how good he is to be fair. We still need for cb depth imo
There is no way any club will pay more for ramsdale than what arsenal pay for raya
Ramsdale and money for Isak?smith rowe and money for luiz
Havertz should be our main striker. We should definitely bring in a young striker and focus our funds on the midfield, wings and left back position
He’s hardly played because everytime he plays he’s shit. Did you watch the england game? We have to keep him, no one else will buy him
If no clubs put a sensible bid in for Ramsdale, we hold on to him. We will have a stronger squad next season so hopefully we will have longer cup runs for him to play in. We need to break the cycle of just giving our players away for less than we brought them for. He’s still really young for a goal keeper, England international and he’s quality. 40 mil minimum!
he signed a contract. we need to learn to retain our players
We don't have a Ramsdale problem, we have a "3-body problem".😅
