Big Joe, Pope and Tonali

[Ragatino]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say we get a new number 1 GK next season

I definitely think there is an argument for it. Pope's distribution during a period of the season before his shoulder popped was shocking.

However, is it a position that is critical to making a top 4 challenge next season?

When the first choice back 5 are fit and playing consistently we are one of the best defensive units in the league.

Our bigger issue(s) has been breaking teams who sit back, defend deep down and scorings goals.

If the scouts can unearth an Allison, Ederson style youngster with those kinds of development levels for around £15m that would be great. I think the problem is we're looking at that lad from Arsenal, £50mil. He isn't £50m better than Pope.

Who'd be your choice for the club to bring in Tuts?

I'd love Ramsdale, I do think he's better than Pope with his feet and a good shot stopper..

If we could structure a deal so its less than 50m I'd be happy and he is still young..

I just think this summer is so important and we cant have a summer like we had this winter.. I know we will spend but I'd happily take a 6 point deduction to go out and re*****ise the squad

Can’t see the gunners doing us any favours in terms of price, and Isak would very likely be raised as a possible swap for Ramsay and cash/players.

I agree he’s better with his feet, but still think there are other positions that need investment before we look to improve on Pope.
