It looks as if Aaron Ramsdale is about to complete a move to Arsenal for £24 million (initial fee) with a further £6 million in add-ons. Just goes to show what an insulting offer the £6 million bid for Johnstone from 'The Sham' actually was, sadly for Johnston the Ramsdale move ('when' it happens), probably also comes with the England number 2 jersey. There is perhaps a bit of good news though, I would not be surprised to see Johnston sign a new contract with us in the days following Ramsdale signing for Arsenal, what other better goalkeeping opportunities are there?.

I think you’ll find Arsenal spoke to Sam’s agent and asked if he would want to go as competition for Lena who is first choice, the answer would be no.
Johnstone is 4 years Ramsdale’s senior and England 2 nd choice why would he go as back up. Loves it at the Albion and would only leave as 1st choice.
I think he will sign a new contract with a decent release clause if we don’t go up.
There is absolutely no way that Ramsdale is better than Johnstone.

Percy has said that Sawyers is signing for Stoke tomorrow on a season long loan. Wish him well.
I think we will bring in 3 to 4 new signings before the deadline closes.

Now that Watford have signed Tucan, do we think Albion may go back in for Yokuslu?

Andy Carroll - On a Play and Pay basis he has got to be better than Zohore but please God, don't let that be the only addition in the striker department
