Do Dutch folk need a work permit these days?

Could be that if so

He's a qualified 'International' player, there are plenty of rules and regulations around professional footballers and their qualifications regarding job permits.

Thread title sounds like he's gone all Jennifer Lawrence

He also admits he can lose concentration during games and got distracted by a pigeon once. Do we really need that with all the seagulls we get?
He'd have a field day with the litter on the pitch when it's windy.
 
Ramsdale has a good record at premier league level, he is hardly the cause of the relegations. He's not the best keeper in the league, he has flaws, but he's generally a solid option, I'd say he's about 10-12th best. He's valued at 20m by the professionals for a reason.

I'd rather have him than 2 keepers we have no idea if they are good enough for this level, if we find out they aren't once the season starts we are utterly knackered, you can't stay up in this league with a keeper who isn't good enough.

This is the first time in this window I'm a little worried at our business.

Hes not in the top 20 imo.
 
He is Woeful.
Why aye man, you probably haven't even watched him play that much. Just because he now plays for the mags we don't need to pretend he's suddenly crap, have some integrity.

People like @Whey just repeating either what they've heard or what they've made up in their heads. Apparently some blokes on a forum know more than the professionals who do it for a living.

Ramsdale is a capable and established Premier League player, he's valued around the 20 million mark, he's still got room for growth, if he's in form he's around the top 10 in the league. An England international and over 70 appearances for the Arsenal.

Let's bump this at the end of the season and see who is right (it'll be me, it always is).

Yeah it’s just potentially extra red tape that could cause a delay in the announcement. Like all the deal and paper is done and will be submitted and announced as soon as he gets the work permit.

I’m guessing as I know next to nowt about the subject, but maybe that’s what caused the delay in announcing Xhaka too?
 
We announced several of the other new signings before they had their work permits, per the Downie report from the AoL explaining why they were there but not taking part in training.

Hoying around statements calling posters "mentality unhinged" over a keeper that's been relegated several times and has admitted he can't concentrate during games is just weird. You seem to love him so good for you.

Aye, let's hope you're right and Ramsdale does better than the keeper we've bought. Strange lad you like.

All better than him. He's valued at £20m by his current club, that doesn't mean he's worth £20m
