Incoming 60m bid for Ramsdale from Newcastle.
Take that money and run.

Great video - wonder what the Ramsdale fanboys are gonna say now
It’s just Ramsdale’s dad hired a bunch of PR boys defending him here. They are not real fans lol.
Real Arsenal fans or football fans in general will pick Raya over Ramsdale.
Yes but I would say either rid of ESR or Vieira as well if that means we will free up funds for a Saka back up.
If Saka goes down - we are fucked.
Not like this will happen in January - but man I would have Guirassy over Toney any day. We can use the remaining funds to get another defensive player or midfield player.
Partey and Jorginho hybrid. Press resistant like Partey but slower, controls the tempo like Jorginho but not as precise with his passing.
Those first two to three seasons Arteta was here - he was arguably the most important midfield player we had.
He unlocked Song and Ramsey.
It wasn’t till he got older and his legs betrayed him.
Just shows you Charles Watts might be a journalist - but he doesn’t know ball.
Anyone with a decent football brain will know that Holding is a Championship level defender.
There is a reason we agreed to sell at that price and there is a reason there are no bids for him other than that one.
No way - you can tell he’s special. I hate Yanited and agree 100% they tend to overhype all their players.
But playing the 6 that well on a debut - universally accepted as the hardest position to play in football these days - at that age is incredible.
Let’s be honest - if that was MLS or Patino playing that position for us that well at Goodison - this entire sub will do the same.
Youth academy experts - how high is MLS’s ceiling?
Volodymyr Brazhko - for those of you who don’t know who he is. He is a hybrid of Rice and Caicedo , a disciplined yet robust 6, sniffs and reads opposition attack, physical specimen.
Will unlock Rice playing the 8.
Zinchenko - hook us up. Tell Arteta and Edu.
Pau Torres has the physique of Fabio Vieira. But taller.
Emery is the most overrated coach in the whole world. Especially on this sub.
The guy cannot coach defense. His teams are overrated as hell.
Gets carved out like a turkey.
If Artetea wins a Premier League and a Champions League with us - does he surpass Wenger as our greatest manager?
I struggle to understand Mason Mount as a player. He’s not a winger and he’s not a pure 10 either. He doesn’t have a big enough engine to be a good 8.
We got shat on for getting Havertz - ok he hasn’t delivered in goals and assists but at least he’s tall and wins aerial duels and makes off the ball runs.
How does Mount get a pass?
Banter era defense still gives me nightmares.
Yep ESR is worthless now. No clubs will bid for him more than 15m. You heard it here first.
Those ESR fanboys can pool in all their net worth and add to his market value I guess.
Odegaard has dropped off compared to last season but to blame him for our attacking woes this season is crazy.
Having a proper 8 to play through balls won’t help us either. We can have prime Xavi playing for us at the 8, it’s still going to be difficult to unlock teams.
Every single team is parking a bus against us. That’s essentially what City has been playing against last few years.
There is a reason they got Haaland to unlock stubborn defense. There is also a reason they rely heavily on wing play to open up space - hence they have invested heavily on wingers over the years - Sane, Sterling, Mahrez, Grealish and now Doku.
Our wing play relies heavily on Martinelli and Saka to play 1v1 or 1v2 and performing a 9/10 week in week out - not to mention we don’t have anyone nearly as prolific as Haaland for us.
One of them gets fatigued or a dip in form and our attack becomes slow and stagnant. We need better back ups and competition for those two.
Not sure why people think Ramsdale has a higher ceiling / potential.
His shot stopping has clearly regressed.
People also said Kepa had a lot of potential a few season ago - look at how that aged.
Youth does not equate to higher potential.
Unai Emery spent north of 230m during his time in Arsenal and finished 5th in his first season with us.
He’s doing a great job in Villa right now, but they have spent 120m since he arrived and Villa finished 7th last season and will probably finish 5th/6th this season.
Why is everyone acting like he’s like this god-tier coach when he was doing the exact same thing he did for us?
Saliba Gabriel Diomande Rice Palhinha.
That rotation next year - we are going to concede less than 15 goals all season.
