Goalkeeper bid rejected by Bournemouth

[KateR]

Apparently Bournemouth have rejected a bid in excess of £12m from Sheffield United for goalkeeper and Player of the Year Aaron Ramsdale.

This should spark a lot of debate about Henderson and his future even back to Man U and De Gea.

The £12m bid looks low to me but.............

[jrgbfc]

If Pope were to leave I'd like to think we'd be looking at Ramsdale.

[ClaretTony]

Bournemouth bought Ramsdale from Sheffield United

[FactualFrank]

Hands up who else thought that we'd had a bid rejected for a goalkeeper.

[NewClaret]

Can we change the thread title please? I nearly had a heart attack.

[KateR]

Sorry about that, not meant to cause that issue, yes Tony bought from SU for 1 million, good return at the asking price but not going to happen.

Now it reads like Bournemouth have rejected our bid for their keeper

[Clarets4me]

Hands up who else thought that we'd had a bid rejected for a goalkeeper.

Now if it had been, " Burnley accept £82m bid for Goalkeeper " ......

[dougcollins]

I really don't rate Ramsdale.

I wouldn't want him near TM.

[KateR]

for me no interest in Ramsdale but am interested in where Henderson goes and the knock on effects of that. Chelsea and the interest in Pope dropped for example

[Taffy on the wing]

Ramsdale looks a good keeper to me!

[mkmel]

Sell Nick Pope for £60m
Buy Aaron Ramsdale for £20m
Invest the £40m profit from these deals and an extra outlay of £15m on buying a right back, right winger,central defender and a centre midfielder
Sorted!

This buying and selling of footballers lark is so easy

Thought OGS had said Henderson would be Man Utd's future No. 1?

[MACCA]

That's is exactly why the title was as it was.

I believe the youth of today call it "clickbait"

[CharlieinNewMexico]

I like Ramsdale. But I don’t think he’s what we need. There’s a lot of flash Harry about him but he rarely comes for a cross without it being panic stations. (Eddies defense ,basically). If we need to replace Nick we should go for someone of similar commandeering attitude.

So we basically want a keeper that’s exactly like Nick Pope, but not Nick Pope!

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Bournemouth have accepted a bid of £18.5 million from Sheff Utd for Ramsdale.
There's no way they'll pay that for a 2nd choice keeper so I wonder where Dean Henderson is going?

[Jakubclaret]

I think Simon Tracey still has some influence regarding the goalkeeping department aside from Northampton, either way with 1 incoming pending certainly means DH leaving.

[Granny WeatherWax]

Henderson isn’t Sheffield United’s player.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Henderson isn’t Sheffield United’s player.

We know that, but Utd want to send him back out on loan again so most assumed he'd go back to Sheff Utd where he's been for 2yrs.

DH wants to be first choice at Man Utd but Ole is persisting with De Gea for how.

Henderson - not back to Bramall Lane by the looks of it

[huw.Y.WattfromWare]

Henderson has let it be known if he’s not going to be No.1 he won’t be hanging around.

[huw.Y.WattfromWare]

Henderson currently in negotiations at OT.

[Conroysleftfoot]

It will be interesting to see how Sheffield United get on this coming season. Henderson was a big part of the reason they stayed up so comfortably, he made some great saves. Ramsdale, in my opinion, is nowhere near as good a keeper.

[Ric_C]

Surely that's increased Pope's valuation.

Ramsdale isn't very good

[Vegas Claret]

Bournemouth bought Ramsdale from Sheffield United

for 1 million - Another United with a re-sign old players for way more more money than you sold them for policy !!

[claretandy]

We are being linked with Jack Butland if Pope goes to Chelsea.

[Bosscat]

We are being linked with Jack Butland if Pope goes to Chelsea.

If thats true I wouldn't mind but.... Popey is the best English keeper at the moment imho

[Aclaret]

We are being linked with Jack Butland if Pope goes to Chelsea.

Hopefully only as 3rd choice, his career has gone gone backwards.

[claret2018]

As long as Billy Mercer stays around, I could replace Pope

[timshorts]

We are being linked with Jack Butland if Pope goes to Chelsea.

Oh god, no **** no. He's shot. So bad that even my phone auto corrected shot to ****.

There's a good reason why Michael oneill dropped him - following which the back four looked much more solid and Stoke stayed up. They may have stayed up if he hadn't made that move, but it was touch and go.

[mkmel]

Could it be that we sell Nick Pope to Chelsea and sign Henderson on a seasons loan from Man Utd

[Blackburn_Claret]

What about Tim Krul

[tiger76]

Bournemouth aren't half selling the family silver, first Ake now Ramsdale, who'll be next to flee the nest, my guess is Callum Wilson, added to this they've lost Ryan Fraser for nothing, I sense they're not going to find the Championship as easy as many predicted.,

[Grumps]

What about Tim Krul

Was just about to say the same thing, or Ben Foster

Initially that idea sounds bonkers, but further thought it starts to make some sense.

Ole doesn't have to drop De Gea who has been United's best player over the past 5 years - he drops £10m off his asking price overnight if they drop him from the 11. We cash in on Pope and can offer Manchester United's next long term goalkeeper a season of premier Legaue football behind a well drilled defence, some coaching from Mercer, and a hell of a lot of good experience.

It's not out of the realms of possibility.

If this happens I predict BPF dislodges him and ends up being the next top keeper off our production line.

[bobinho]

Can we change the thread title please? I nearly had a heart attack.

You honestly thought Bournemouth, lately of the championship, had bid for Pope?

Ok, so the title didn’t mention AFCB, but I’m sure when you saw the name, you chilled a bit eh?

That figure is a bit of a shocker tho... I would’ve expected that number to be double what it is.

[ClaretTony]

I very much doubt we would look at getting in a first choice goalkeeper on loan no matter what the circumstances.

Sheff U know they are not going to get Henderson back on loan because he’s either going to force United to sell him or presumably offer him first team opportunities.

[KateR]

is getting Tom back an option if we sell Nick, we would have the money and should have money left over.

[Rileybobs]

If Pope leaves and Henderson comes to Burnley then Henderson should definitely be England’s number one.

[Top Claret]

is getting Tom back an option if we sell Nick, we would have the money and should have money left over.

Heaton is passed it and I believe he is also on 100k a week plus at Villa.

We got the best out of Tom and its now downhill to the knackers yard

[bobinho]

Never thought i'd say this, but i hope not Kate...

TBH i'd sooner go with an untested BPF than bring Tom back. His recent injury record is quite worrying i'd imagine for AVFC fans...

Last time we fielded an untested keeper at this level didn't work out too bad, so yeah i'd go with what we have.

[taio]

If Pope goes would be happy with Butland - a good age and could get him at a good price.
