If the options are Ramsdale and Johnstone I’d rather we just stick with Patterson, none of them a good enough may as well stick with the one that doesn’t involve a fee

 

[ab 65]

No thanks to either Ramsdale or Johnstone. As others have said they are a massive drop off from Bulka.

Electric heed Philip West says Patto deserves the number 1 spot and that’s final

 

[jesus juice]

Think we will go for Malagon down the line. Quality keeper

You can’t be sentimental in football. He did really well in the final but across the season showed he’s not at the level we need

 

[scott934]

I'd rather take a bit of a punt on someone like Sam Tickle than sign Ramsdale or Johnstone, and just have him compete with Patto.

People are overestimating Patterson IMO, Goalkeepers are absolutely vital especially in the Prem.

Patto had a good play offs but he makes quite a few mistakes, his kicking / distribution is woeful and we will need that on counter attacks. His handling from corners is cack too.

We desperatley need a new number one.

 

[The Situation]

Think it was @The Situation who posted Johnstones stats, could be wrong, but they were honking

Yep, consistently underperforms relative to xG on target numbers that he faces.

-5.91 goals prevented in 2023/2024 and -3 goals prevented in 2024/2025.

May as well just persist with Patterson if Johnstone is the alternative as the end result will be the same

 

[Bears Beets]

Because he wasnt top tier. We aren't arsenal. (Not that i would sign him as he just seems coated in failures now, but pointless comparing a team going for the title and deciding hes not good enough, to a team just promoted)

Or the fact he said he switches off every so often, id rather not take the risk tbf

I feel that’s the case. Keano brought in Gordon straight away.

The keeper is vital.

 

[Billy Batts]

For one, isn't Ramsdale shite regards distribution? Thought that was the main reason arsenal got rid.

Nowhere near as much as you're under estimating him

Big difference between a good Championship goalkeeper & a good PL one.

Yes and you've got Patto down as pretty much shit at everything

not good enough for premier league and club think that too with bidding over 20m for Bulka and Petrovic

Or they think they're an improvement on Patto. That's doesn't mean Patto is shit. I've got absolutely no problem with Patto starting as our 1st choice keeper. If we can get better then great.

didn't say he is shit he just not premier league quality we need a upgrade premier league is a very brutal league as last 3 promoted teams found out last season

He’s not shit at everything, that’s not what I said. He is however worse than the other top end Goalkeepers that played in the Championship last season. (Trafford, Cooper, Johanssen) based on statistical data. Data isnt everything of course, but I’ve seen Pattersons weaknesses with my own eyes. Great shot stopper & did seem to improve
slightly on crosses in the PO but in general not particulaly convincing, nevermind for the level above.

 

[Ricci's Special Kebabs]

No to Ramsdale, may as well confirm or relegation now if he signs

We're heavily linked with one of the keepers of one of the relegated sides mind

I think people go way over the top with how they judge some players. Imo Patto is in that category, last season for example he had a poor month where he was making mistakes , other than that he was pretty solid. You read on here and it's like he was terrible all season and that wasn't the case
