GK, CBx2, Striker to come in before the season starts. another CM and a RW to join before deadline day
Hated the idea at first but more I think of it I think ramsdale would be a solid addition, premier league experience, good personality, would get on with the squad and has some leadership qualities.
I don’t necessarily agree with us signing him if we do but I’ll back him if he does come in. We have a knack for players that have lost their way but it’s a risk with a goalkeeper
Sunderland want Aaron Ramsdale as Southampton look to break even on the England shot-stopper TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey understands that Sunderland have turned their attention to England goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale to become their new number one. As previously confirmed by TBR Football, Regis Le Bris is keen to replace Anthony Patterson, with Ramsdale regarded as a viable successor to the Sunderland-born goalkeeper. We understand Sunderland are stepping up their efforts on Ramsdale and they have already had contact with his representatives, who in principle have confirmed he is open to moving to the North East. Ramsdale is eager to remain in the Premier League this season to consolidate any chances of an England call-up, and Southampton have agreed to let him leave. We also understand that the Saints are not opposed to a loan move for the goalkeeper, which is of interest to Rangers, whilst Leeds United have also shown interest in Ramsdale. We can confirm that Sunderland are readying an opening offer which is going to be close to Southampton’s current asking price. The Saints want the £25million they paid Arsenal for Ramsdale last summer to break even. Ramsdale suffered relegation with Southampton last season, where he conceded 66 goals in 30 appearances.

However, Ramsdale has struggled previously in the Premier League, having suffered three relegations for separate clubs. Ramsdale has dropped down to the Championship with Sheffield United, Bournemouth, and most recently Southampton – a feat that Sunderland fans will hope is not repeated once again. A fee in the region of £25m is also a significant outlay for a goalkeeper whose side has just finished rock-bottom of the Premier League. Ramsdale’s quality is clear to see, especially from his stint at Arsenal; however, Regis Le Bris will need to ensure that he can restore the confidence of the goalkeeper in order to make him an upgrade on Anthony Patterson.
Ramsdale’s fee and wages are my concern but I don’t doubt his quality. A gooner mate of mine really rates him and says his long passing is exceptional. It was the short tippy tappy passing that he struggled with at champions league level, which is not our preferred style anyway. still reckon we’ll get someone in from the continent. Think it’s possible we stick with Patto too if they can’t get one of their top targets.
It would be down to price for me. He is an upgrade which i think is important however, he isnt worth 20-25 million. Ramsdale hasn't been an error prone gk but he also doesn't win you many games and that's the concern for me.
Speakman stated on Sky that the aim is breaking into the top 10 at least 9th with was our best finishing position the EPL.. not with Ramsdale I'm afraid. This Petrovic pursuit should really have been doable imo
