Now Ramsdale has agreed a fee with Southampton and if the rumours are anything to go by we could be without a 1st team recognised keeper in goal for this Saturday.
We could potentially sell Tickle then get him loaned back but that would leave Arsenal with only two 1st team keepers which I very much doubt they’d be prepared to do.
Look, it doesn’t matter was state the clubs in whether were a buying or a selling club we will always be prone to been cherry picked at the last minute and there ain’t much we we can do about it.
I always thought we’d need a good clear out of all the high earners before we could start a rebuild job but I honestly didn’t think any young player was up for grabs at the same time.
Some were arguing we can’t compete with Carlisle for wages regarding Jordan Jones but I think it wasn’t his weekly wage that was the issue, it was the length of contract at nearly 30 years of age and to be honest I have to agree with the club. 3 years for someone who’s touching 30 would have been a bad investment.
Josh Stones ? I don’t get the loaning of him out but after digging deeper and listening to a few people in the know it seems he is injury prone and struggles to keep himself fit.
We’ve had a full transfer window and signed 4 while potentially 18 leave and we’ve a small army of loanees arrive.
Is that building for the future ?
Like f*ck, it’s surviving hand to mouth on minimal rations. Were a club on a crash diet then when we hit our ideal weight we decided to go abit longer and now we look unhealthy and emaciated and we’ve no intention of getting back to anything that resembles a healthy state because it’s cheaper to run this way.
I said it before, very rarely in all my time have I felt the lack of with my club. I always said, when it becomes a dredge a struggle to go games because the passions not there I’ll stop. Saturdays crowd was a sign of things to come, people not bothered coupled with Sky Sports+ allowing nearly every game to be watched in the comfort of your living room or dodgey boozer.
The way we’re going I’ve probably this and one more season in me and if there’s no sign of a footballing defibrillator I’ll call it a day, sad after 50 years but that’s for me is how bad it’s got
