I thought he said: he should have passed but I totally get why he shot.

Are we beginninng to think the JWP deal was allowed to die when the price got too high because we have covered his skill range with Ramsey's running, Bailey/Buendia's set pieces??  I'm not even attempting to reopen the whole DMC arguement cause frankly I'd rather tear my own cock off.

Could any of the midfielders we were linked with have done better than Ramsey so far?

His improvement is very noticeable. That effortless and deceptively quick glide he has across the park. He moves the ball on well too.

His improvement is massive. I said it enough last year that he looked tidy but didn’t appear to do a lot. This year he has drive, purpose, and strength.

That Sanson bloke at Marseille is meant to be good. Think they're looking for £25m-odd though.

It will be interesting to see what Sanson can do once he's found his form and fitness. He seems to be very McGinn-like so teams might struggle cope with the amount of running in our team, which was something JWP would have brought too.

I didn't know what sort of player he was last year, and am still not entirely sure, other than a very good one. I said it before but I think it bears repeating, in that in my opinion he's gone from a promising youth getting a few games here and there because of injuries or suspensions, to first midfielder name on the team sheet. Ramsey, McGinn and Luiz are starting to look like a very good midfield trio, now that the dire 4-2-3-1 has deservedly been ditched.

This may have been said before, but I'm starting to see a correlation between the 95/96 season. Three midfielders that can do a bit of everything:

McGinn/Townsend - loves a tackle, with a powerful shot and cracking engine
Luiz/Draper - a touch of class about them, always busy and wanting the ball (although don't score as often as they should!)
Ramsey/Taylor - local lad that runs all day and drives the team forward at every opportunity

It's not a perfect like-for-like but there's something in this, right?

I've missed a lot of the discussion about formations on here, but as a midfield three, I think they're the best we've had in a very long time. With Sanson, Nakamba and Carney to come in as well, our midfield is starting to look pretty settled. We have decent replacements for all three. It's just a case of getting a system around them that helps us start dominating play a bit more.  The front 3 (or 2) need to start retaining the ball a bit better and we'll really start hurting teams.
Anyone apart from Tonev is entitled to shoot in that situation.

I don't understand the criticism he got from the commentators

Was it Andy 'The cock' Hinchcliffe by any chance? He never has anything good to say about us, if we have a chance he'll focus on the oppositions defending, he's an absolute bellend, and seems to always be on our games.

Agree Lee B. Hinchcliffe is admittedly fairly knowledgeable in his analysis but all he ever seems to do is criticise and tell us what player X should've / could've / would've done. And he drones on and on and on - does my head in, as well as his jokey asides with the main commentator. Give me Alan Smith every time.

They can say what they like as I’ll doubt we will make the same mistake of putting a price on him again

Sounds like an agent putting out a rumour to get a better contract for their client.

Mind you, if we can get £50m  - say - for him and then elevate his more talented younger brother into our squad it may look like good business.
Not that I'm keen to offload; not at all.

I would tell Man City to do one we ain't selling no more of our players to them.

It came from a Spanish twitter account. There's nothing to see here.
