Summer 2025 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

His stats included the internationals too and were there as an example only. Kamara was the direct comparison as we all universally agree he's a great player but average rating wise Onana is better from a statistical point of view.

Ah, makes sense then, ta.

Ratings aren't necessarily whole numbers, anyway, so can end in anything.

Ok, 5 matches then, but it's still far too small a sample to take anything from statistically.

I can only imagine it was Onana's goals that raised his stats. He couldn't stop scoring before he got injured.

[algy]

I recall their fans loving him and thinking they'd pulled out trousers down getting him for basically nothing. Then he got injured. I lost interest after that.

Everton fans though. They definitely got the better deal with Dobbin coming here as the like for like, but I reckon withing two seasons Tim is at a championship team.

So you think he has a long term future there, then?

Spurs keeper from yesterday also played against us in the FA Cup. I might be misremembering it, but I feel like he saved them from losing by even more in that game too. Wonder would he be worth a punt? Possible he'll be their first choice keeper next season.

[cdbearsfan]

Didn't he chuck one in for us in the cup? I might be getting mixed up with a different game.

[AV84]

I think Ramsey scored very early and that was his one mistake. Was decent for the rest of the game.

[cdbearsfan]

Sounds about right. He was good yesterday.

Fuck me ramsdale, spurs second choice keeper. 

You guys aren’t making me feel any better about this

He was only bought in January and they don't need to sell for PSR. I suspect he is the Vicario replacement but whether that is next season will depend on the new manager there.

[AV84]

Yes, I looked him up just after I posted it and realised they'd only just bought him. Still, as someone else pointed out, there's plenty of keepers having great seasons that I'd never paid any attention to before. I don't think Martinez is irreplaceable, the only problem is goalkeeper isn't a position you can mess around with, or ease someone into the league. With Olsen going too, we really need to get it right first time.

Because it wouldn't be as bad if Olsen stayed.

Hopefully our scouting extends beyond, “has looked ok in a bad team”. Ramsdale, for instance, makes some really good saves but he’s not great in the air and he gets overly emotional and makes rash decisions with that.

[SoccerHQ]

Probably beyond us now with them getting into Europe but think signing someone of the calibre of Eze would elevate us into top 4 regulars.

As much as Ramsey has done well for months in Unai's system he just gets so many injuries and Eze is now developing into that decisive big moments player.

We also probably don't have the finances to make it work but if we're selling a few big names this summer the fanbase will rightly be expecting a proven player or two to come in to replace them and we have plenty of improvement down the flanks given Malen seems to be seen more as a CF given how we've used him so far.
