Are we thinking of another Ramsey - Hacob?  That is the one that Unai refers to on interviews.

Don't get this? Are you deciding it is good fun to take the piss out of his pronunciation of the letter J?

We dont have any other option to replace him in our setup. Tielemans, Zaniolo and Rogers dont have the athleticism, McGinn struggles there (and we cant afford to move him anyway). I dont think Moreno is an option there really either ahead of Digne. So we are struggling to put it mildly, especially if Ramsey is out for a while again. For Ajax, Id try Bailey over on the left as he can put a shift in and the further away from Diaby he is the better.

We've played half the season without him and done pretty well to be fair.  However, resources are stretched now.

Reflecting on the Luton game, I do actually think Moreno ahead of Digne is a viable option on our left side; not first-choice but certainly viable. It may have been a good option early into the second half last Saturday.

Thought we struggled on that flank all season really without Ramsey. Lots had a go but none convinced.

That's some genius marketing right there. Brew some shit lager in Burton, stick a vaguely Spanish sounding name on it, and bang, millions of gallons sold every week.

Yes, I should lighten up. Thanks for telling me that. I'll let Linekar know the "Good Ebening" jokes are back on.

I know a fellow Villa fan who is in the brewery business, he said it really was like that, a load of marketing blokes sitting round a table commenting how well San Miguel was doing here and that they needed a competing 'Spanish Premium' beer for their portfolio, 'who can we buy?' bought up no obvious candidates so they just made it up there and then.

There are some decent Spanish beers available here, the most recent I've been buying from Tesco is Rosa Blanca Mallorca. Quite tasty, for a beer that's only 3.4% strength.

It genuinely is genius marketing!
