Jacob Ramsey - Gone

[tony scott]

I like him but I wonder if playing him further forward, would work .

[eamonn]

That's the problem with all our central-midfielders. They'd all be better further forward, the fcuking glory-hunters! Come back quick Marvelous "Naka" Nakamba.

[Louzie0]

It makes you wonder what stevo has in mind, really.
I want Marvelous to come back and stun him.

I wonder if he practices taking free kicks. I think he could be quite a threat on free kicks around the edge of the box with the way he's placed a couple of his goals.

He strikes a moving ball beautiful, whether he could do the same with a dead ball is anyone’s guess. Why not?

He should be in the running for a Young Player of the Year nomination but the voting tends to be stupidly early on those awards, doesn't it? And he only became more of a household name to neutrals December-time.

Totally agree he should be a contender for YPOTY award.

It will be someone like Elanga or Smith Rowe when neither have achieved as much as Ramsay

The England squad is named today. He couldn’t could he?

I wouldn't so don't see how Southgate would.

A grinning Grealish would no doubt embrace him and tweet pics of them in training...ugh, keep him away from England, we know what usually follows.

I do sometimes wonder this, although I think starting from deep and driving at defenders seems to be a particular strength. Inevitably further forward requires a bit more work with your back to goal. He does quite well in tight situations in fairness, but something like that goal vs Brighton for example, or the second in the Leeds game, came from deep driving runs. He's a powerful runner, much like Gerrard used to be and if he's getting up through the gears from the middle, and up to full pelt near the box, he becomes a nightmare to stop.

Foden probably.

Southgate names his squad - no room for JJ

Guehi is an interesting choice.  He's looked pretty good the odd time I've seen him play, but not sure he's "next in line" ahead of someone like Tomori.  Also, Guehi is another of those young players that has come through the Chelsea system, without ever playing for them, and still generated a £20m fee when he moved last summer.  Precisely the sort of thing we want to be doing with any of our youngsters over the next few years, that don't quite make it as first-team players for us.

JJ's time will come, but I doubt it will be before the World Cup unless there is an injury crisis among the midfielders.  The group he's picked still has Kalvin Phillips to come back in, so it looks like Gallagher is next in line right now.

Maguire and Grealish still getting a call up 🤣
