It's not either or. Remember all those players that we paid good money for that were also shit? At least their recruitment will have seen what he can do at this level, and they know that he can function living here, and his missus* wont get the hump at the weather.
He seems available quite often. How does his average fitness compare with big T's consumption of physiotherapy resources?
* I know not this gentlemans personal status. Could be FoD for all I know, or care. I mean the point generically.
Ramsdale to Southampton for 18+7 seems a bit of a bargain to me.
Not my money, not unlimited funds, but still a little sad. Probably a French word for this rather than a German one.
Apparently he is a Saints fan. If so, he could regret allowing heart to rule head; it’s not like they looked “all we need is a decent keeper and we’re sorted” last weekend.
Their fans' main complaint about McCarthy is that he's not good enough with his feet for Martin's extreme possession game. Ramsdale was dropped by Arsenal because he wasn't good enough with his feet. You'd think they'd have gone for a Muric type signing.
I was wondering why no one seemed interested in taking Ben Chilwell from Chelsea's bomb squad because he's a solid top flight wing back when he's fit (granted that's been a bit hit and miss of late), but then I learned that he's on 200K a week. Madness.
