    Seems on the same level as Pope and Martinez.Doubt he improves them. Better than Sanchez, but Chelsea would probably try for someone better. Doesn’t leave many options for him.

    How many clubs, that could probably want him, can afford his present wages and a transfer fee? Possibly Bayern.But I doubt they would want Arsenal’s 2nd choice GK to replace one of their greatest goalkeepers. I can count only 1 or 2 English clubs who could want him and can afford his wages.Ramsdale’s options are very limited, unless he is willing to take a huge paycut.

      You’re probably right about Emi. But with the ball at his feet he is in a different level to Pope, particularly in short distribution where Pope is extremely nervy. If Newcastle want to transition to a game plan where they try to control all 90 minutes they will need a better ball playing keeper.
