I think he's my favourite Villa player, there's no waste or fannying about with Ramsey.

He's brutally efficient and effective, and brings a balance to us like no other single player.

We are on the same page.  I just hope he stays injury free for the rest of the season and we see his link up play develop into its full potential. Wonderfully skillful player.

His finish against WHam is underrated. That brute Coufal is trying to shoulder him off-balance just before Ramsey shoots. Bet he didn't realise he was dealing with the son of a boxer. Stitch that, ya bastid.

At his best, he might be our best player.

JJ was superb. So happy for him after his recent injury issues. Just hope he can stay fit

Fitness is indeed the key here.  His direct running, quick feet and strength are a brilliant resource with the likes of Tielemans and Rogers to feed those runs behind and past the defence.  Amazing to see him returning to his best.  Fingers crossed he can complete the season injury free and push on with a good pre season.

This thought has often occurred to me. Also, he seems to play that position, and understand that position like no-one who has attempted to fill in there in his enforced absence.

IIRC Unai put Ramsey in that left side position in his first game, and instantly he looked like he'd always played there.

He covers the ground even quicker than Rogers, and is always likely to be the one running in behind, which is a nice contrast with Rogers.  He's playing himself into form, which is nice, and at a good time of the season.  It's also good that we know he's unlikely to be hit with fatigue when we get into March/April/May.

Was he one of the midfielders that Gerrard wanted to fill in at the back while the full-backs bombed on?

Used to drive me mad, whoever the players were. I know SJM was one, and Kamara was on his own trying to control the entire middle of the pitch.

Absolute 'divvy' tactics. Why don't we get all of our players in the wrong part of the pitch and see what happens?

At least we can breathe a sigh of relief that Al Ettifaq are unlikely to swoop for our JJ now that Gerrard's been given the cameron archers.

Keeping him fit & firing is as important of securing Kamara on a lifetime contract.  Essential to our future growth.

Be interesting if we do buy Felix. Him at 10, with Rogers coming from the right and Ramsey left flying could be devastating.
Stop it with this Felix nonsense!!


... please!

With Marcus coming in be interesting to see where that leaves JJ.
