There are a lot of good keepers out there. I think the goalkeeping at the Euros was generally excellent and not all those keepers were at big clubs. I was at Fiorentina v Atalanta in April and Atalanta's Italian keeper Carnesecchi was brilliant. Then they played their no.2 keeper at Anfield and in the Europa League final (I presume he had played in Europe all season) and he was also brilliant.
And I think most Championship keepers are very good.
If he can provide a few quid to support the kids then who am I to argueQuote:

While I wouldn’t want two Irish keepers at the same club, Kelleher would have been a better fit for Southampton imo.
But agree with Nigel. The competition can ultimately be good, and if Martin stays in the job and true to his philosophy, don’t think Ramsdale joining Southampton is necessarily curtains for Bazunu.
It's a deadline day panic signing. How Southampton let it come to this I don't know. They must have known McCarthy isn't good enough. I don't see them staying up, they might not even be that close to staying up. However, if they do go down, there's no guarantee there will be a queue for Ramsdale's services from other Premier League teams then either, it will depend how his season goes.
Bazunu won't hang around too long if he's not first choice. But this season was always likely to be a write off anyway with the injury - he just needs to focus on getting back fully fit and reassess his club situation next summer.
Yes - Bazunu needs to make sure that he is fully healthy after this injury - if he is to have a decent chance to achieve his potentialQuote:

They could have the reincarnation of Lev Yashin in goal and I don't think they'd stay up with that squad though.
Lev Yashin! Now there's a 'blast from the past'!Quote:

Great fair play to himQuote:

Wonder would he be fit enough for a deadline day loan somewhere to get him some games this season. Southampton are getting relegated, Ramsdale may not stay with them next season.
Confirmed that he's being put up for a loan move. I wonder if Boro is a possibility now that the Travers deal has stalled
Bazunu is in a serious relationship with a physio, who may not fancy moving north. Meanwhile, Portsmouth have conceded 51 goals in 28 Championship games. Some financial arrangement between the clubs could be worked out .Quote:
