Wolves interested in loaning Aaron Ramsdale in January
After Arsenal 1-0 win over Brentford on Saturday night, reports started to emerge from the Daily Star that Wolverhampton Wanderers might be interested in putting a loan bid, with the option to buy, for Aaron Ramsdale in January, leaving Arsenal fans with a lot of questions and wondering if he could make the shock move over to Wolves in the transfer window.
Wolves Portuguese keeper Jose Sa has recently become a hot topic for Saudi Clubs and is reportedly wanted by a few clubs, and Wolves manager Gary O’Neil is keen to cash in on the 30-year-old goalkeeper and is reportedly looking at Arsenal’s out of favour goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale to come in and replace him. Wolves are strapped for cash recently and wouldn’t be able to buy Ramsdale outright but have reportedly started to think about trying to secure the English keeper on loan with an option to buy in the January transfer window.
Ramsdale has lost his spot this season to on loan Brentford keeper David Raya and it seems like there is some tension in the dressing room since Ramsdale lost his spot. Nick Ramsdale coming out recently in The Highbury Squad podcast and saying his son had “lost his smile” since losing his spot in the summer to Raya and in my opinion, Ramsdale has looked like a shell on the player he was last season.
No doubt losing your spot as a keeper is hard, it’s a bit different to every other position as there can only be one starting goalkeeper and for me, it’s the managers job to delegate and manage that situation so everyone stays somewhat happy and I don’t think Arteta has managed this well and because of that, we could see Ramsdale make an exit in January.
Ramsdale is a great keeper and arguably doesn’t deserve to be sitting on the bench and that’s not me saying that Raya does, because they’re both world class keepers, but Ramsdale is a big reason we did so well last season and a keeper like him is wasted on the bench. Personally, I think Wolves would be a perfect fit for him and if Arteta has no future plans for Ramsdale then he should allow him to go and get minutes at a team that does want him.
I won’t be disappointed if he stays, I think Ramsdale is a huge part of this squad and I’d love to see him stay, but I also don’t want to see him waste his career on the bench.
What’s your opinion on Ramsdale possibly going to Wolves Gooners?

He may leave here but we all know he ain’t going to Wolves.
If he wants out. He will hang around for a better offer.
Arsenal should only let him go if the cost of losing a quality backup keeper is outweighed by what they receive in return in players and/or transfer fee/salary considerations.
From Ramsdale’s perspective, as long as he doesn’t lose considerable compensation or living conditions in doing so, he should go practically any place he can be the undisputed #1. Of course, his new family could come into play as well (who knows it may have indirectly done so on Saturday).
I consider it highly doubtful that he will ever be able to make his way back to #1 with Arsenal as long as MA is in charge.
Surely we should, if the lad wishes to go we should release him from this nightmare.
He has done nothing to be subjected to this unending drama.
But Wednesday would tell us if the gaffer dashed him away for good.
Personally speaking, Gunsmoke, I think the media and to a large extent sites like JA have added fuel to the fire by constantly referencing that Ramsdale has been dropped by Arteta
I have enormous sympathy for his predicament but cannot let that cloud the decision made by Arteta to put Raya in his place. The king is dead… long live the king, so to speak. Ramsdale replaced Leno and the stick that Arteta got on JA for taking him was unbelievable. The usual disbelief that a twice relegated goalkeeper could be the number one was incredible.
‘The king is dead….long live the king’, I like that, am in agreement with you SueP, except for one important fact, how the whole thing was handled
👍
he helped Arsenal last season to achieve 2nd in the
premiership and got into the england squad so what has he done wrong this year,
I question the manager actions.
It just does not add up, Wolves make money on Sa, we loan him out and receive nothing, we have to hire a dependable back up, again more fees ,etc. We are not a charitable trust. I’ve lost faith in Ramsdale, but letting him go on loan does not benefit us. Club first, player second. Sell him off to CFC for 80M , no issues. For a player who cannot concentrate for 90 minutes is not needed on our rolls. What all Mikel has to endure with such type of characters!
LC Certainly RAMSDALES unwise statement about not being able to concentrate for 90 mins will come back to haunt him.
It was MORE than unwise. I suggest stupid and immature are better descriptions.
Ra.sdale made it to #1 competing with Leno but soon as Leno left he felt no competition and played around. He could not make a dramatic turn around when Raya came and he also lost to Raya. Some have tried to defend Ramsdale’s lack of concentration in his two surprising errors as being match-rusty. Far from it. This is the time for him to leave.
I have seen some of the greatest keepers that The Arsenal have ever had make mistakes, sometimes even two or three in a game, heaven forbid!!!
But I have never heard any of them say that they lost concentration and that would have made MA sit up and think long and hard.
Aaron is still very young for a keeper and, depending on how long he’s prepared to wait, could still become our No. 1 again, but will he do a Martinez and walk away?
I do agree it could have been handled so much better, but that’s the way MA works… he takes no prisoners!!
His father’s outburst would not have helped either of course, but our magnificent away fans showed Aaron that he’s still part of the club and I believe that, ultimately, HE will decide his future, not anyone else.
Fingers crossed he’s as big a Gooner as the fans are.
Whether he lacks concentration or not, Ramsdale is a good keeper. I wouldn’t have bothered if Raya is by far better than him. He contributed so much in us returning back to Champions league and yet, you can’t even give him one minute of Champions league football. I I advise him consider his career first. Southgate has made it clear that he can not be on the bench and join the party to Germany. If Martinez had remain in Arsenal, he may not have gone to the last World cup where he did not only won it but became the best keeper of the tournament. Ramsdale should not be emotionally attached to a club or manager that does not want him. Let him go to the club he will get game time.
No matter how some people may praise Arteta to high heavens, his man- management is very poor for coach of such a big club.
