Oh no, not again Tom... what have you done?
Tom is not the sporting messiah, he’a just a very naughty boy!
I'm only responding to those who wanted the longer Saint.....! threads.
Yeah I am one of them in fairness - makes it better for the ones that do come through.
This one is looking pretty good. It'll be interesting to see the structure of the deal if it does happen.
I would say Fab posting makes it more likely. His misses are usually due to unforeseen things like the failed medical
Would be a coup to get the second choice England goalkeeper if it does come off. I just don’t see how it fits into our wage structure and how much of a limit it places on other business. I expect his wages are at least 5X the feyenoord guy. Probably more

I don't think his wages would fit our structure, but as it will be a loan it doesn't matter so much.
Almost the opposite to Romano who even suggested Arsenal have the replacement completely agreed (perhaps they do have personal terms agreed). No way they are paying £25m for that espanyol goalie. That’s just his mandatory clause
“Saints looking at 4 or 5 other options as Ramsdale is too expensive.”
Basically as soon as Tom created the thread, it doomed the transfer

Hmm, no he isn't (sorry to burst the wishful thinking bubble) - Dharmesh is much more well-informed with Arsenal ongoings than Romano. He just lifts things from other sources and amplifies them, and sometimes gets thrown things from agents who want them in the public domain. I'll believe something is happening with Ramsdale when it comes from someone like David Ornstein, Dharmesh Sheth, James McNicholas from The Athletic
(btw, the brother of James McNicholas is Charlie McNicholas, who is Aaron Ramsdale's agent - so if James says anything, then we can take it seriously)
Fab also recycles other sources. Or steals from them without credit. So it’s difficult to really know anymore
Fab was a good source when Joe Shields was directly leaking to him. And there will be others. But not for every deal. And not on our end anymore
There's never any point judging based on the organisation, it's better to judge on the merits of the individual journalist IMO. Some are clued up on some things and clueless on others etc. Anyone who claims to be an oracle on everything is just being dishonest
