Jacob Ramsey - Gone

[Rudy Can't Fail]

With performances like last night he deserves a place on the bench. A real joy to watch, strength, balance, good technique and vision, the lad's got the lot.

Agreed, assuming that Traore starts and Trez drops to the bench, I can see Nakamba and El Ghazi dropping out of the squad altogether.

Going to be a star is Jacob!

Tell you what, I’ve seen enough promising kids play and look like deer in headlights.

This lad looks very comfortable. Very impressed so far, and he should definitely be on the bench for the Fulham game.

[N'ZMAV]

he looks great - hopefully he's physically ready for Premier League games.

Would love to see him get some minutes in the Premier League over the coming weeks. Looks very classy.

How does he compare to L. Barry?

[Legion]

Far better. Barry, as much potential as he has, is only recently signed and has barely featured so far for the U18s, U21s or U23s. I am aware that he has been carrying an injury and came on as sub this evening but he has a long, long way to go before he reaches first team level. Ramsey is an awesome midfielder and deserves his chance.

[Legion]

As do Bridge in defence and Archer up front.

I like the look of Jacob he's going to be a good player.

[TonyD]

So all in all the kids could come good.

So all in all the kids could come good.

I believe so, yes.

[Steve67]

This is a tough one.  Do we keep him here for the season and he only gets a sub appearance here and there, but learns from the better quality players he has around him?  Or, send him out on loan with a clause that he plays when fit?   If he goes to somewhere like Norwich, Preston or Brentford, where they all try to play football, he would fit in well. It's a conundrum. Give him a new 5 year contract first, send him on loan.

[Legion]

If our better U23s (Ramsey, Archer and Bridge) are not going to get a look-in at the top level then personally I would prefer them to be loaned out as Vassilev has been to Burton Albion. It will give them a chance to show what they are capable of. It worked pretty well for Grealish at Notts County!

[cdbearsfan]

Keep him for the Stoke game then loan him, at least if we sign another midfielder. He seems to have improved at Doncaster and would likely develop more playing 20-30 games in the Championship, or at least upper League One, then the odd 15-20 minutes for Villa.

Maybe even loan him until the end of December and (if he goes to a team below the Championship) tell them he can't play in the FA Cup so we can give him a game or two in January before making up our minds if he should be loaned out again.

I'd keep him around, he has something to offer in the first team. Bridge and Archer would benefit from loans though.
