Huh, so you'd rather him succeed than be right about it being a shocking transfer? Glad you're finally coming around to the idea that it's possible to rather want things to go well than to be right. 🙂

I didn’t say it’s a universal rule, I’m above the prettiness that plagues the rest of you.

True, I've been told many a time that I am plagued with prettiness.

Being above prettiness is the most poetic way to call yourself ugly I've heard yet

This one is confirmed by most. We will get a glimpse in the League Cup soon. Don't think he is coming here to displace Leno immediately.

If you think Ødegaard is a universally frowned upon signing like Ramsdale you haven't paid attention. And if you don't think so and still make the comparison with Ødegaard then you've missed Clrnc's point.

I honestly could care less what the consensus is about anything on Twitter.

I kind of think Clrnc was talking about the consensus in general where you don’t need to add the "on Twitter" part.

Unfortunately this is another signing we will be lamenting in a year or 2.

What a horrendous signing - what the fuck is our staff doing

In all honesty, I don't want the club to listen to the fans. Not saying there are no intelligent, informed voices but the vast majority of football fans are idiots.

Looks like a disastrous signing.

Has been the starting goalie for clubs who got relegated in the last two seasons. Not hoping for a hat trick.

Yes he has, but he's been their stand out performer too.

If we're honest, he's coming as our no.1 - no way we are shelling this cash and effort for a backup. Let's see how it goes.

my criticisms of this ramsdale deal have always been about the spend moreso than about the quality of player. in saying that his reputation isn't sparkling, and I've completely lost faith in the judgement of the people running the club, so my outlook on this isn't too positive

Ramsdale's an Arsenal fan isn't he? going to have to back the boy here. The chosen one.

He's had plenty of practice facing shots in the EPL. His Youtube comps look decent - I like his body shape on 1v1's. And he's young, so plenty of improvement left hopefully. Good luck to him.

[size=small]“Being a West Brom fan I watched him for a long, long time when he was there. The way he plays, the speed he plays at and being able to kick off both feet, I know his game inside and out.[/size]

Shocking shocking buy. Won't even be able to take the #1 spot from Leno by the end of this season. Wasted 25M.

Every mistake he makes the fans will be on his back. Hope he is prepared for the abuse.

I hope he's our best gk since Mad Jens. The more I read and watch about him, the more I want him to succeed. Some of the reactions online are disgusting. Poor guy. I'm unimpressed but I sure as hell hope he does well and proves us all wrong.

One thing is clear from both of his previous clubs, they love the guy. The reaction from the Sheffield fans is overwhelming, they're mad he's leaving and for the price. There must be something there to be said
