The Downing transfer was what came to mind when I saw the Ramsdale story. Big money for a totally shiite player that everyone already knew was shiite except bizarrely the club buying him. I remember being desperate for us to not sign him at the time too. Similar for arsenal fans right now I imagine.

I think Abraham for 40 million would be alright business. He's 15-20 goal a season striker for a decent team where he plays week in, week out.
Ramsdale is surely nonsense and White, whilst a decent player is unproven in a back 4 and way overpriced.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
For Chelsea, he had one season where he got 18 goals in 46 (PL, CL & FA Cup) games - 15 league, 3 CL, and one where he got 12 in 30 - 6 league, 1 CL, and 4 FA Cup? For Villa he got 26 in 40, but that's the Championship.

I like Abraham, but I don't think he's really done much to suggest he's a 15-20 goal a season striker yet.

Absolutely laughable if this happens

What's worse than keeping a poor quality manager?
Letting him waste hundreds of millions on subpar players

Apart from him being a 15-20 goal striker of course.

Henderson was 15 million and Adam was 8 million. apart from that, well done with the accuracy

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2011/jun/13/jordan-henderson-liverpool

£20m

Never mentioned a fee for Adam

Thats the Guardian..

Makes Naby Keita look good business

Pretty good signings for an established mid table team like Arsenal.

Loving the name OP....

Injuries avoided, White won't lose them a penny.

not at Chelsea in the big league he aint....doesn't have the belief...he'd be perfect for Arsenal

He's was literally that at Chelsea. It's not really up for debate because he's done exactly that.

The article is close to the bone Bats.

Abraham would remind of Giroud in a way, good striker, but not top level and I doubt he will get Arsenal what they need to be a top 4 side again unless they become watertight defensively, which with Leno or Ramsdale in goal, they will not be.

Henderson would be a fantastic signing for Arsenal if they managed to pull that off.

My point is that one season scoring 20 goals doesn't make you a 20 goal a season striker... Javier Hernandez once got 20 in a season, does that mean that he's a 20 a season striker? No...

Is there any other reason that he has only had 1 season as Chelsea's main man? It just happened to coincide with the season that Chelsea couldn't buy anyone else, and as soon as they did, Abraham was dropped and only used a sub. Got to assume there's a reason that he didn't play more...?

For Villa, he got quite a few, but it was the Championship, and Charlie Austin got those numbers. Would you have paid 40m for him?

Don't get me wrong, he's a good player, but I don't think he's the answer to Arsenal's problems, and certainly not at 40m...
