People get carried away with their valuations of our players. For 1, their high wages, and 2, they haven't played any consistent football in years.

This applies to ESR and Reiss, less so Eddie who got a fair bit of game time over the last 2 seasons although admittedly he didn’t set anything on fire.
It doesn’t really apply to GKs though. £15m for Ramsdale might actually be it for me.

What's with the hate on Pickford btw? Turbo punchable face obviously but he's been a solid keeper for years now, seems like a decent signing for most good teams missing a decent keeper. I'd take Pickford over Ramsdale any day, Ramsdale is probably better on his best days but he's got way more howlers in him and you also sign up for his foot in mouth PR stuff etc.
I don't see anyone paying anywhere near £35m for a 2nd choice keeper everyone knows you want gone with an entire years worth of "yeah maybe he wasn't that good" narrative behind him.
Teams simply don't spend that kind of money on keepers outside the top 4.

We got offered 40m for ESR given such a small sample size…

95% of Arsenal fans laughed at that bid, if you're talking about the Villa one. At that time he looked like a future superstar. Since then he's been permanently injured or out of favor. Hard to come up with a better way to tank your value.

But it was a small sample size where he was playing well, we've really let his price plummet, and we'll likely regret it as there is a player there, he just needs to play. Nketiah, Nelson, i don't think they'll offer much to any PL team. Even Ramsdale to an extent, i wouldn't say he's much better that any of the GKs at other teams.

Yeah that's why I don't get the "we should get £35m+" shouts. What teams below Arsenal would actually pay £35m for a decent keeper? Teams like us don't spend that kind of money on keepers, so it'd have to be a team like Chelsea or Newcastle, two teams facing massive FFP problem. I really don't see where that money is coming from.

15M is a total piss take unless it's a dodgy deal with Isak coming back the other way.

Might be. But it will be Bruno G, I'm afraid.

I would know lol I nearly got run off the forum for saying it was a fantastic offer back then, mainly because I wasn’t convinced by his small sample size and I didn’t think his ceiling was anything special compared to Saka.Should have really cashed Reiss, ESR and Nketiah by now.

I've gone off Isak. Sesko makes more sense to me given his age and potential. No point spending huge money to have another 24 year old striker. Feel Kai will be our no.9 to start the season.

I remember watching ESR at like 15 and being blown away by his level of talent, so I'm the opposite. I still think he generally performs well when given the chance. How Arteta has dealt with him is one of my biggest question marks about Arteta, he's clearly good enough to get consistent minutes at the 8 or on the wing as a squad player but he barely touches the pitch.
Agree on Reiss and Nketiah though. Never been anything but underwhelmed by Reiss, don't even think he looks like a PL player tbh, just a bunch of nothing on the wing.
Palace signed Henderson for £20m last summer. Similar age but not as good. Ramsdale should be £25m at least.
He had the same contract situation as Ramsdale right now: two years left with a club option for a third, so this could be a good litmus test for Edu and Garlick.
