Ramsdale Sugawara THB bednarek kwp Is really a defence that shouldn't be relegated. Main problem is how we sort out the many midfielders and strikers we have to the degree that we can actually score goals.

Watching his compilation videos it occurs to me that I don't think I've seen a keeper make consistent reaction saves since Niemi. That's about 20 years of substandard keepers!

Woukd be interested to see if this actually happened or not...

I thought he was taking the piss to be honest. He's quite smug.

Blimey that's some signing if accurate. I think I get itk points from my mate saying he was present when Lallana signed

Overspending in a panic is idiotic. Spending a sufficient amount that we can afford in order to give us the best chance of staying in the league is entirely what I expected us to do. That will also mean helping us for future season as well.

I'm sure that was poorly phrased as that reads like we aren't spending money in order to stay in the league. I'm sure that's him putting a brave face on it.

Many saints players live in Winchester.

Does that matter for the purposes of FFP?

Precisely. Signing players at the level you are currently is a surefire way to never progress.

He's probably correct which is exactly why we should get him. There aren't many players in our squad you would say are above our station. Maybe kwp.

I'm very calm. Odd you think I wouldn't be.

He's enough of an upgrade to gain us points and increase our chance of survival which is surely the purpose of any signing.

What do you base that assessment on? He's a recent international who until recently was the number one keeper at a top 4 club. He was player of the season at Sheffield United just three years ago. What metric are you comparing him and McCarthy?

So are you suggesting that Ramsdale under Sheffield United wasn't better than present day McCarthy would have been? How do you think he got a move to arsenal in the first place?

We're getting dubravka aren't we.

Imagine a team like saints turning their nose up at a signing like Ramsdale.

He would have let in less against Newcastle that's for sure and statistically is far more likely to let in less over a season.

The fact is he's significantly better than McCarthy who would undoubtedly let in shedloads more playing for us than Ramsdale. It would be a big coup to persuade him to play for us.

Experience as well and we can't get a loan from the prem.

Probably best not to respond to me soggy xxx

Fair enough. Personally I'm not sure that gelling was the issue in the previous match, it was the tactical setup. Maybe it would give them a chance to tweak things but I'm not sure how possible that is against Cardiff (and isn't that what preseason is for???).

I agree it was an odd choice. Can I also add that it's much more pleasant to interact with you when you give your opinion in this manner and leave the pedantry behind.

It would be interesting if Martin had the perfect players for his system how it would work. I wonder if it would have more of a goal threat in that scenario or if it's simply the system that creates this scenario and not the players.

At this point next year then quite possibly. Dibling, SAA, THB, Downes, kwp if he stays, Fernandes. They all may perform well enough to have Premier league interest but without collectively performing well enough to keep us up.
