All this, and Villa just happening to be playing Newcastle tomorrow night. Who'd have thought it.

It’s not very unsettling though, talking about an injured player.

Blimey, I seem to have missed an awful lot this morning. The Big Six bollocks, VAR along with this FFP is really starting to kill the love of football at the moment for me.

If Ramsey is sold off it’s going to really piss me off and this should not be happening at the level we’re at.

when it comes to transfer speculation they are all much of a muchness

Didn't Percy post that the Daily Mail is the most accurate newspaper?

*when it comes to transfer speculation/gossip.

No idea but it's not true, they're actually pretty near the bottom - https://www.footballtransferleague.co.uk/sources/newspapers

It was a light-hearted reference to this, but thanks for checking.

I vaguely remember that there was survey done years ago to work out the most accurate papers for transfers. The Daily Heil won with 4% of their stories coming true and that’s a paper that employs real journalists, well, sort of. I repeat - they were the most accurate.

Think about that footy.

This window has, for me, shown that any positives FFP brings are massively outweighed by a whole range of problems. Tying player wages and fees to commercial income sounds sensible if you don't dig into the details but as soon as you put any thought into it all the problems we see were inevitable from the outset.

someone needs to spend at least £50m on Almiron before they can even consider Ramsey. All in the next 48 hours .
This is where Ornstein and The Athletic tie themselves up in knots and lose further credibility. they are no better than scrolling through X
on Almiron, David Ornstein in The Athletic has highlighted this unity, quoting Howe saying, “his priority for this window is just to keep hold of his players.”
It does amuse me how offended some of our fans get when journalists or pundits say things that we don't like.  Ornstein's credibility is beyond question, whether he's right in this particular instance or not. The truth is you'd only ever find out if the transaction happens and even when there is interest from all sides, there are many reasons why a deal may not ultimately be agreed or complete.

The Athletic have a policy that they will only ever report stuff if they have two separate sources saying the same thing.  Jacob Tanswell explained how that can be frustrating and they have lost scoops because of this.

Same policy as Sky Sports News then, according to Dan Bardell*.

Blimey that transfer show on Sky Sports News 3 , it's basically twitter with volume

Yep - anyone able to build a commercial operation on the back of success from financial doping in the years before FFP now has a HUGE advantage, and FFP has effectively created a moat protecting them. 

I agree with FFP in principle (Christ knows what Newcastle's side would look like today without it!), but it's certainly not without its issues.

Whether this story is true or not, I NEVER take what manager's say about transfers to the press at face value, any of them. Things in football change at a rapid pace, I always ignore a "not for sale" quote because everyone is.

Nah, it's just Tim and his obsession with the number 3.

Three Sky Sports News. Three usernames: Cooper's Injury, Silhillvilla and VillaTim.

Collomosse seems pretty clued up.
Yeah, he's decent.

Does he do the fandango ?

I had a feeling that Ramsay might have been sold for FFP reasons during the last window but the injury with England put a stop to that.
The injury has really paused his progress this season.

Providing he has a good 2nd half of the season & we get his true value, I wouldn't be surprised if he does go this summer. As hard as it is to accept, it's something we'll need to get used to.
