    5 years, 1 month ago

    I heavily contemplated moving Sanchez to Ramsdale two weeks ago, however, I chose not to.
    My reasoning for not doing so was due to both Arteta's initial comments re. rotation but also the thought of keeping the transfer should it be required for something more necessary.
    Fast forward to this GW, I had 2FTs and my only forced move was TAA, whom I offloaded to Cancelo.
    The other trade I made was Sanchez to Ramsdale.
    For my plans, I believe this to be the correct trade, however, my greatest hesitation was the fact that I am 9 points in the negative.
    Does anyone else have this issue?
