    Using white phosphorus attacks and cutting off food, water, and electricity to Palestinian civilians is absolutely a form of collective punishment. It’s not just collateral damage.

      I see us selling Ramsdale ( I prefer him over raya ) But I think we are going to keep Eddie, I don’t think any team is interested in him, and with esr clearly Arteta doesn’t rate him

      Doubt we sell any of those players for that money in jan. Could see esr on a loan or something maybe with a guaranteed buy clause but i don’t see the other two going until at least the summer.

      Nobody’s spending 40-50m mid season for Ramsdale or Eddie. Doubt Newcastle does either.

          I’ve never been one to care about sales but if Edu sold those 3 players for 40-50m then I wouldn’t care for him either.

            Who wants to shill out big fees for a back up keeper, on a starters wage, or an attacking midfielder with fitness issues who doesn’t play?

            Edu can really only play the hand he’s dealt, but he plays a role in that. If we wanted big fees, we should have sold ESR two years ago and Ramsdale over the summer. They just sit around and don’t play now.

              I know Raya is looking a better fit than Rambo atm but he is not merely a ‘backup keeper’ 😭

                Is he starting? He hasn’t started a league since the last interlul an hasn’t started a Champion’s League match. He is the back up right now.

                  No, he’s getting many small injuries as the other guy predicted.

                  But he’s getting the goals.

                  We just need to find the fittest and most durable guy in room now.

                  I haven’t watched much Serie A this season. Is he doing well for Juve? At one point it looked to me like he was a flop.

              Smart clubs won’t look at Ramsdale solely as a backup keeper on start wages because that’s just his situation. In reality, he’s a title challenging, could be no1 England international keeper, who’s atleast CL quality.

              Why did we spend 50m on a back up ST with 1 year left. Because he’s quality.

              Tbh I don’t think it’s impossible that he could have had the spot nailed eventually. But does he walk straight into it? Absolutely not. Leading the line for us is really difficult. Finishing is the easy part. Fashioning the chances for yourself, linking the play, stretching defenders by going in behind, leading the press. The physical and technical and demands are so high.

                This is a fair point. It’s very hard for young strikers to do the other parts of the game. He’s definitely not walking straight into it but I think he would have usurped Eddie by now

      Eddie has for more value that people think. We will be lucky to get a combined 30M for ESR and Ramsdale though.
