Jacob Ramsey - Gone

[Grande Pablo]

It's purely Sky building transfer stories or else they've have nothing to report, based on the balancing of FFP by selling home grown players of which we have very few left of value.  Nothing in it.

It's coming from one of the most reputable football journalist out there, and from a decent publication.

I am not saying we need to run around screaming and panicking, and I think "are interested in" is a very loose bit of language in any case, but it is not footyinsider level nonsense.

I'm sure there are plenty of clubs interested in Jacob Ramsey.  If someone was looking for a talented English midfielder with a high ceiling, I bet he'd be in the top three or four of their shortlist. It doesn't mean a bid has been made. It doesn't mean we're interested in selling.  All it means is that he's a very talented player, and other clubs recognise that.

The time to worry is when absolutely nobody is interested in any of your players, a situation we've endured far too often over the years.

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.

If he can get back to the form he was showing last season, then he wouldn't be one I would consider selling at all.  No-one has really been able to properly fill that void that has been left since his injury and I think we would find it easier to replace players in other positions to be honest.

Conspiracy theory time, but it just seems a bit suspicious that these FFP issues suddenly seem to have become a major issue at a time when it looks like they are a couple of clubs who could now challenge the established order.

I never worried about that - the team being shite was enough to worry about!

The subject of "Villa Fans Worried" had a million page thread here once upon a.

I don't think it's conspiracy.

Its reality...

Newcastle might have to sell Almiron to the Saudi League to meet FFP standards, they can't afford £50 let alone £50m.

“Jacob Ramsey is a very important player.” Emery said. “He grew up here in the Academy and his progress is clear, getting better.

“His level is increasing a lot and I want to keep him here with us. He is a potentially big, big player in Aston Villa and England. I want to keep him here 100%.”

I'm more worried about getting Ramsey fit and playing well again. We really need him so McGinn can play on the right and Tielemans can slot into the 10 role as an alternative to Diaby.

[LeeB]

Also, why would he want to leave?

Ramsey is the crown jewels, as I said earlier there are others at different points in their careers that would go before him if our hand were forced due to circumstances

[Rigadon]

I’m sure he wouldn’t want to leave.

[Nelly]

Ha, I seem to remember saying that at least four times in the past decade.

[Ads]

Dismissed by Howe. Dismissed by SUE.

[Rigadon]

I know!  Same here.  But, and I don’t know why, I just can’t see him playing elsewhere.

No, flippancy aside, I'm with you, it's just my cynicism for anything football people say is through the roof after recent years lol I do think that Monchi and co probably won't be held to the same romance that we are though. But I agree with you that this one doesn't seem likely.
