This is a fan’s personal view of AFC Bournemouth from the outside looking in. It reports on the daily official activities reported by the club and comments made by individual fans on social media and fanbase websites. Life as an AFCB fan is never dull. As a life-long supporter of the Cherries, it is the friendliness of the staff, fans and my enthusiasm for the club that inspired me to write this blog.

Should Cherries keep saying "No!" to Sheffield United?
It has been widley rumoured this week that Sheffield United have had a bid rejected for around £13m for Aaron Ramsdale. While the Blades seem keen to be reunited with a former keeper for the club, Bournemouth will have several players that they need to sell and others that they feel they can hold on to and Ramsdale could be one of the latter.
While Ramsdale had a fantastic season and has already picked up the Echo's Mickey Cave player of the year award, he is likely to pick up some more awards from the club. He may well be offered an improved contract despite dropping to the Championship and it has taken Aaron a couple of years with load moves to really get to be the Bournemouth number one keeper. So he might not be in a hurry to move just yet, when he knows he will be in demand for the next few years.
Bournemouth could play hard ball with Sheffield United. They certainly don't meed to sell Ramsdale cheaply and could hold put for more than the suggested £25m in the media. As an England U21 keeper, Ramsdale is going to be well watched and could attract a bigger club, if not this summer then in January, or in the summer of 2021. Bournemouth need to consider that and whether they should look to keep Ramsdale. It is not often that a club gets a good crop of young keepers and Bournemouth will know that a good keeper in the Championship is the first thing you need to try and get promotion.
If Sheffield United really want Ramsdale, they'll pay the asking price. Bournemouth need to push these deals as high as they can, as the drop from the Premier league will have eaten into their bank balance. Personally, I feel there are going to be bigger offers for Ramsdale and Bournemouth can hold out until the end of the window, knowing they have Mark Travers, if they really feel the market price for Ramsdale has been fully met. It could be a long wait for Sheffield United and they could even be trumped by another club for Ramsdale's services.

It depends on Ramsdale ambitions, nxt season Bournmouth will again be in a relegation battle, not the place for any ambitious young player.
ReplyDeleteSorry but this is weak Ramsdale really does not have much route to a Number 1 in many Premiership teams Virtually all have established good keepers and the top 10 sides if they were looking would be looking in a different market than Ramsdale. If Bournemouth don't get promoted back to the Premiership next season Ramsdale will find it even harder Probably his chance will have gone. He will be pushing for a move to a club he knows and a manager that he knows Bournemouth haven't got a managerand are not likely to be improving the wages of ant player above what a Peremiership side like Sheffield United would pay
ReplyDeleteThere is a sell clause inserted anyway .
