May as well get going with this since with Sullivan at the helm, season ticket renewals slow, and the football vacuum to commence, this will soon be all the "news" there is.

Can Potter and MacCauley pull multiple rabbits out of the hat, or will Sullivan 'try really hard' with all of them before grabbing a few aging bargains from Big Willie Salthouse?

Window this close season comes in two parts:

Part 1: 1st June to 10th June
Part 2: 16th June to 1st September

Also if we sign Ramsdale for more money and wages than Kelleher i fucking give up.

He is bang average, only because he is english he gets spoken about.

Posted: **04 Jun 2025, 07:24**

If i am Amorim looking a the state of them i am doing all i can to keep Rashford and Sancho. Both shown they can operate in the prem and what's point of paying 300/400k a week to watch them play for someone else.

£25m for Sancho a few years after laying out £70m sums up their policy the last 10 years perfectly.

Posted: **04 Jun 2025, 03:11**

For those worried about the reported interest in Sancho was reading that Chelsea WOULD have signed him if he would have agreed to a reduction in his Man Utd wages of £300k per week
Noone is paying that except for Saudi

Posted: **04 Jun 2025, 01:49**

Surely if Moyes is that desperate for Soucek, we do a player plus cash deal for Pickford who is a huge upgrade in the goalkeeper position

Posted: **04 Jun 2025, 01:17**

I thought the reason Ramsdale was frozen out at Arsenal was down to how poor he was with distribution. A good shot stopper who could not do what his manager wanted with the ball at his feet. Exactly the same as Areola at West Ham, making it a signing that would make no sense other than to fill a hole in the squad.

Posted: **03 Jun 2025, 21:12**

Ramsdale also feels like lazy recruitment. Is he really the best we can do, a Keeper that has been relegated 4 times by the age of 27yo, that lost his Number 1 spot to Raya at Arsenal after a big money failed move there and will cost a fair whack for the privilege. He'd make a very good Championship Keeper but a quality Prem Keeper? I'm not convinced.

Posted: **03 Jun 2025, 20:25**

I might be wrong about the timings but thought Fabianski had been agreed but Pellegrini actually didn’t want it to go ahead as he wanted Roberto to be his no1
Can you imagine that ?
Relegated with 150 goals conceded

£7m bargain.

i could well be wrong but i just dont think Ramsdale is worth £20m.

The irony being Fabianski was Pellegrini's main man who he wanted here and was one of our best signings in recent times. Only to then come unstuck in main down to his clown replacement Roberto due to Fabianski's rare long term injury.

I'm not too bothered about signing a keeper from a relegated club, it's all about the talent of the keeper and the situation. That said, is it not slightly concerning in this case, given Ramsdale has been 1st choice and relegated 3 (THREE) times with 3 different clubs at the age of 27? That is worrying. Fabianski had 3 seasons in the Prem with Swansea and was named their player of the year in his 4th season, the season they were relegated, his 1st and only relegation at the age of 33. And he has been absolutely top notch for us, imo our best keeper since Parkes.

Ramsdale didn't even win Southampton's POTY this season, normally an ever present keeper in a team that bad (2nd worst Premier League team ever) stands out, because he has every chance to, and given how great he apparently is I would've expected a landslide for that award.

It is the most uninspiring, obvious, unnecessarily expensive pointless signing we could make. He's not even that good with the ball at his feet, so why the fuck should we sign him? I have never, ever been impressed whenever I've watched him, but that's not loads, so I'm really hoping I'm wrong, as it looks like a deal that's going to get done.

We are badly short of quick players, and a bit of muscle. Also, doesn't he play wide right? Probably the last signing we need to make at the moment, a slow left footed right winger.

But if we're selling Kudus who will fill the good second player for the same position to be played out of position on the left..

Summerville

Nah he won't be out of position

Ramsdale is classic west ham. Zero imagination in finding a new keeper so we over pay for one who's just been relegated.

Posted: **03 Jun 2025, 16:35**

Sancho?

A Magpie coverts those shiny things

But not for anything near the £300k a week which he's on at Man Utd.

Exactly. He's not objectively a terrible player but he just won't be anywhere near worth the probable outlay and he seems to carry a lot of baggage around with him.

From a couple of the news links down the right, how they are written and the site they are from, I'm getting the feeling Sullivan is trying to foist Jadon Sancho on Potter.
I fucking hope not.

Posted: **03 Jun 2025, 15:39**

The club should have a go at luring back Douglas luiz. From Italy . He'd be ideal . Whether he'd come or not is another matter. I suspect he would. But whatever happens this club needs the potless dwarf to piss off pronto .

Posted: **03 Jun 2025, 15:30**

True that, frase.

I think people just throw names in that are obvious and easy. Ramsdale & McAtee, one is shit, and the other is nothing of what we have been crying out for.

But one played for Arsenal, and one plays Man City, so...

McAtee needs to realise that with City reacting to losing the title he will be further away from playing
Needs to follow Cole Palmers example & move on
To us would be good

Can anyone explain Man U’s finances in terms of FFP?
Understand they have large losses & have bought Cunha & now probably Mbuemo
Plus Fernandes has said he isn’t going to Saudi so a large fee has disappeared

I'd go for Harwood-Bellis, Walker- Peters, McAtee and any other half decent young English player with the right mentality and attitude. Our aim should be to create an image of being the best PL team for young English players.

I get the principle but Walker Peters isn't what I'd call young... neither is Ramsdale particularly

That was poorly worded I meant McAtee and others.

Maybe he answers to friends who influenced getting the ground at a good rate, and who secured the land for the Olympics
