Where to now for Aaron Ramsdale?

Whens the Saudi window close? Could see some club there picking him up (and hopefully pays over the odds)

indeed, and I think Ramsdale is a Bolton fan.

He played for them at youth level, but he supports West Brom.

October 10th I think.

His wife has just had a baby so don't see him going to Saudi.

[HKsaint]

We should have him on the bench to show how strong our team is.

He's mentioned several times that his boyhood hero (and later mentor) was Jussi Jääskeläinen, so had assumed a Bolton fan.  Saw this as a good thing when he signed for Saints, as he said that a key reason was the chance to play every week, and emulate JJ's 500 appearences for Bolton. Hope the club can reach an agreement to get him in the first team squad for a promotion push, as him and Peretz in the PL would give us hell of a goalkeeping pairing.

He wants to stay and fight for his place...

Quote

 

This summer, Aaron Ramsdale made it clear he was keen to stay at Southampton where he's a big character in the dressing room, and challenge for his place. His high wages are understood to be 'manageable' thanks to a relegation clause.

Ramsdale had enough of moving around clubs to what would be a fourth new side in three years so he only wanted to do so if the offer was 'too good to refuse' and turned down interest throughout the window, including from clubs in Scotland, Spain and Germany.

Well that's a good thing. I mean Peretz is brilliant and I love him being number 1, but, he does need someone to keep him on his toes and make him keep pushing himself, it won't hurt both of them. 

[23rdSaint]

So:

• Peretz is #1

• Ramsdale is backup #1 and training keeper

• Long is #2

• Jones is training keeper

All semantics, but good to know that Ramsdale will likely play if Peretz doesn't.

More like: he doesn't want to go to Saudi or Turkey or anywhere.

We've tried to get him out but we can't. No one else that he could conceivably go to wanted him.

Be interesting to see how we play it when the very last window shuts.

I’m sure we are not playing him as we can’t afford to, he’s probably got some kind of appearance money if he plays - hence he’ll only play if Peretz gets injured. 
 

Money is tight now we are in our 2nd season in the championship and his reported basic wage is way over our budget as it is.

The Daily Mail, after the way they treated us during Spygate I do not believe a word they say.

Yeah, that's what I reckon. An appealing Prem move never happened and he's not keen on abroad move with his current family situation, which is fair enough. I think we are still very keen for him to go as we need wages off books so nothing will change until all windows are shut.

He seems to me a player that hit the heights then wasn't highly rated by the Prem clubs , which is why he ended up at Saints . I don't think he is interested in playing abroad and despite his outgoing persona probably is not overly ambitious person and would be happy at Saints if the financial position was sorted out . This is only my feeling based on what little we see in the media !!!
