The issue there is wages

He’s earning bugger all at the moment.

So did David Kelly.

Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale signs new four-year contract

Aaron Ramsdale has announced he has signed a new four-year contract with Arsenal to keep him at the Emirates. It's also thought to have doubled the 24-year-old's wages.

www.dailymail.co.uk

No chance we are going to offer him 100k a week either bit of a non starter.

Best looking in the championship for future talents. Anthony Patterson at Sunderland….

People have short memories …..

[Wolf316]

Ramsdale on loan.....get a new keeper in the summer ..

Or Ramsdale on loan and then part of the Neto deal in the summer.

 

[Glow69]

Couldn't say no to 40m!

Good idea Jorge Mendes.

Jose Sa headhunted for £40m Saudi transfer as Wolves begin replacement search

WOLVES goalkeeper Jose Sa is the latest Premier League star to be headhunted by Saudi Arabia’s mega-rich clubs. The Portuguese international, 30, only signed a new deal at Molineux in September. Bu…

www.thesun.co.uk

Sa would be someone I would be looking to upgrade anyway, maybe even in January.

So £40 million would be way too good to turn down even if he was the Sa of the first season he signed.

 

[MattH]

£40m for Sa? Looks like we're in Mendes good books again, or perhaps that's the sweetener to let Silva move on for peanuts. Not against it. If we get £50m for the pair (plus clauses for Fabio) then that's £20m for new keeper and £30m for new striker. Sweet as a nut.

 

[wolvesaywe]

Thommo, Don Goodman, Cyril Regis and Ally Robertson too.

Wasn't that a Beautiful South song?

Once the Saudi league went mad, I think Jorge was always going to chuck some money our way.....just hope it's for the future though and not part of the Jorge and Fosun exit strategy....

Also signed a new contract recently

After the video has surfaced online of Ramsdale I'd rather not have him

 

[NothingButNeto]

Is Kelleher still an option? 40M for Sa, 15M for kelleher, leaves 25M for a winger.

 

[Bognor_Wolf]

40 million for Sa?!

I can't be the only one who thinks this can't be true? Crazy amount of money for a goalkeeper, can get a good replacement for around 10m and use the rest elsewhere would be an easy decision to make..

Paper talk. Headhunted by who exactly? A host of Saudi clubs. No names though!! Bit of lazy journalism really. In reality if the 40m offer comes everyone takes it and moves on.

Why would cutler be looking for a new keeper I’m sure he would be involved with Hobbs and the recruitment team. But to single cutler out, trying to make it sound a little more realistic than they think? Can smell the BS from here

Also could of been said to try and turn heads or cause unrest in our camp. When someone like Percy comes out with it. Slightly more believable.

Heard the same of Spiers the other week suddenly when Neto was playing well. We aren’t out of the woods yet… But only if a huge offer comes it will be considered. (Nothing we don’t already know)

Here’s my own bait

SILVA FIR FOR SAUDI CLUBS.

The Molineux misfit Fabio Silva is being headhunted by many Saudi clubs. Fee in the region of 30m.

 

[Ponty]

Start the car. I’d be disappointed if we couldn’t replace him with someone better for half the reported £40m.

As for only looking at a forward and a wide player - that suggests they have faith in Santi at CH, guess we’ll find out on Monday. Personally, if as seems certain, we stick with a back 3 I’d like to see another CH brought in.

Cause Culter would be involved, and his opinion asked....Tony Roberts was allowed to bring keepers in, he brought both Bentley and king in, and so why would Cutler not be involved...it's acknowledged that people stepping into jobs in the summer were given similar powers....

40m might be a little far fetched, but the rest of it ...SA , Saudia, sell, wolves, Jorge, cutler is all believable. .

Sun as the source so probably nothing in it, but £40m would make Sa the 5th most expensive keeper in history so I think you’d have to take that money and reinvest it elsewhere if true

As said above. ...the fee isn't believable (although with Jorge , Saudia anything is possible)....but the rest of it is ...

What video ?

 

[FJRWolf]

I think Sa has been fine this season, cut it a lot of the 'crazy' stuff, but 40m you'd think would see him sold. Just hope they would spend the money wisely.

 

[JamesWolves]

What video ?

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1724197525148610566

There is then evidence of this of him conceding because he was constantly checking back on a pigeon ... yep

Seems like he might have ADHD or similar. Given how prevalent that is in the population I imagine there's plenty of footballers who have to deal with it, although it has to be hardest as a keeper given how long you spend in a match unoccupied (especially with a team like Arsenal).

 

[Halesowen wwfc]

40m to saudi will more than raise eyebrows with the authorities regarding overinflated sales as that is well above market value and will bring in the same questions chelsea got when they transferred a few players over there i would think

 

[Aurum Lupus]

Ramsdale on loan.....get a new keeper in the summer ..

Caomin Kelleher is where I'd go. You'd get him for £20M

 

[Aurum Lupus]

Is Kelleher still an option? 40M for Sa, 15M for kelleher, leaves 25M for a winger.

I think they'd want closer to £20m, but I still think from what he's shown so far, he's worth that if Sa is paying.

 

[JadeWolf]

Sa’s been alright this season, I think Cutler has worked well on cutting out the brain freeze moments. But being honest anything above £20m and I’d be taking it.

 

[Bawtry Wolf]

I’d prefer him to go in the Summer as that, along with Neto, brings in £90m + for the next transfer window and sits in next year’s accounts which is beneficial for the longer term. It also means less disruption to team this season.

 

[Matt]

£40m for Sa is an absolute no brainer to be honest. I like him, but he ain’t worth anywhere near £40m.

 

[hollo]

Sun as the source so probably nothing in it, but £40m would make Sa the 5th most expensive keeper in history so I think you’d have to take that money and reinvest it elsewhere if true

A 34 million profit on sa would make our balance sheet look great.

 

[wolfslair]

Agreed, but £40m is more than enough for a new keeper, with significant change for another player. If £40m is on offer we need to snatch their hands off for it!

Could have had Dean Henderson for less than £40m.

There are many good keepers we could buy with that amount of money

 

[Hawkguy]

Wonder if we could convince Bulka. Still under contract for 2 1/2 years though.

24 years old. 6'5. Having a huge breakout year in Ligue 1.

 

[Muscat]

Some very good keepers in Ligue 1 at the moment. Samba is one I'd be looking at, crazy stats last season. One of the reasons I'd be looking to sell Sa for that money is because it is relatively easy to find a replacement just using pure xG as a guide without digging any deeper.

For example the best keeper in Serie A last season based on expected vs actual was Vicario.

 

[SuperGran]

On the basis of a sun article we’ve sold Jose and replaced him

 

[Flump]

Headhunted by who exactly? A host of Saudi clubs. No names though!! Bit of lazy journalism really.

That's not how Saudi signings work though. Michael Emanelo is effectively the Director of Football for the Saudi league, signs people, and then they decide which club they'll go to.

 

[cannockwolves]

For £40m I would drive him there myself - yes, all the way to Saudi!

Just give me the word and I will get the Qashqai warmed up

Seriously, that would be a no brainier of a deal. £10m for a replacement keeper and £30m for a striker and we would be in a much better position.

 

[WW1963]

40m to saudi will more than raise eyebrows with the authorities regarding overinflated sales as that is well above market value and will bring in the same questions chelsea got when they transferred a few players over there i would think

Just show them the every angle video of his save at Everton.

 

[Bryce]

40m for Sa !
Bonkers

I would invest 5m in Andries Noppert the 6ft 9 Dutch keeper

35 million for a South American striker and winger and a zero spend transfer window
Sorted

 

[steve vena]

Wolves expect £40m interest for 'outstanding' player from Saudi Pro League

Huge decision... Would you sell or keep?
