Heartbreaking.
He might have to go abroad and hope he does. We’ve seen how much of a renaissance UK born players have had there.
I remember the talk about how there was no way a keeper as good as Ramsdale could settle for being 2nd choice at Arsenal. With how things have gone for him, being #2 really doesn’t look bad at all anymore.
The article really doesn’t tell you anything, e.g. why he’s fallen out of favour at Southampton.
FWIW I’ll always love the guy.
Prompted by your comment, I re-read it.
- Arsenal. We all know the story, but it does go into detail.
- Despite playing well at Sheffield Utd, the rest of the team didn’t. Relegated.
- At Newcastle he was competing for his place but both he and Nick Pope didn’t perform well. Transferred.
- Southampton. Eckert doesn’t rate him, but he is fighting for his place from a position of being 4th choice. Yes, it doesn’t say why he is out of favour, but maybe it’s not well-known?
Edit - I found the original interview and speed watched it. Begovic’s quote in the article is:
“There’s many different factors that go into it but I think it’s been unfortunate that maybe a few things haven’t aligned for him [at Southampton].”
The only factor he lists in the video are “club business elements”.
