As many of us have I've been very impressed with ramsdale. Especially with his young age I've really enjoyed seeing him. One thing I'll love to know from Ed001 is I'm sure recently you said yourself or a friend said his distribution is poor. Was that right? Think it was in the summer. Was that something you still think as from what I've seen I've thought his long range passing has been exceptional

Just thought be interesting to see your take on his first few games. Early days I know!

{Ed001's Note - I said he struggled with playing out from the back at Bournemouth and lost confidence. It took him a while at Sheff Utd to rebuild it, but there he wasn't asked to play out from the back, so it was impossible to judge how he would get on. So far he has done ok, but it is early days and his confidence has not been tested.}

I think Ramsdale has done brilliant and certainly silenced a few people who judged him by his fee rather than on what he did in an Arsenal shirt, same for Ben White actually.

I agree it is very early days still and i personally find claims of Ramsdale already being England's number 1 already as crazy as the claims that because both Burnmouth and Sheffield United were relegated with Ramsdale in goal that proved he was a useless keeper we had wasted 30 million on him.

It's always best to wait and see how a player does over 3 to 6 months before declaring them anything one way or the other.
In my opinion because of their price tags both Ramsdale and White were judged unfairly before they even had chance to kick a ball but equally both are slowly but surely convincing people to listen to Jessie Js advice after all.

{Ed001's Note - I have no idea who Jessie J is.}

She sang a song called Price Tag, Ed001 mate.
She suggested people should forget all about the price tag and think for themselves and make thier own choices rather than being told what they should like or think by other people especially the media and big brands.

I was so impressed I bought her Album and every bit of Jessie J merchandise I could get just to prove how others could not influence my choices, then a week later took it all to the charity shop, my choice of course ???.

{Ed001's Note - sometimes you worry me mate.}

Your lucky Ed001 mate, at least for you it's only sometimes.

That was it Ed! Hasn't seemed like that at all to me but as we said early days isn't it. Hopefully the confidence stays and I don't get to see the side you've mentioned. Thanks for the reply.

{Ed001's Note - very welcome mate. Hopefully he will continue to prove me wrong.}
