Jacob Ramsey

Rogers has looked his best in the 10 position so definitely room for them to play together.

Wonder is JJ expressing the emoji with the sweaty blue forehead anguised look at the moment when seeing how Rogers is slaying mid-table teams.

Jacob Ramsey, 22, Aston Villa midfielder
Contract situation: Contracted until 2027
Estimated market value: £34m
Linked with: Newcastle, Bayern Munich, Tottenham

BBC Sport football news reporter Nick Mashiter:
Jacob Ramsey won last season’s Premier League academy graduate award after scoring six goals in 38 games, helping Villa return to Europe and he also won Euro 2023 with England Under-21s.
But he broke his metatarsal during the tournament, an injury which has restricted him to just eight Premier League starts.
Villa have insisted he is not for sale with manager Unai Emery making his stance clear in January.

Emery said: "In the second part of the season he is going to be very, very important to us. His potential is very high, an even higher level than my expectations."
Yet, even with probable Champions League qualification bringing in extra TV revenue, selling the academy graduate would help the club in their efforts to comply with profit and sustainability after they lost £119.6m for the year ending 31 May, 2023.

Usual journalist ignorance of Villa’s PSR position there, with no acknowledgement that a big portion of those losses was deductible.

I remember someone replying to that reporter on twitter something along the lines of "I'll only listen to him once he gives my toilet back"

£34m will only get you the foot with the dodgy metatarsal.

[OCD]

Transfermarkt has a value of 42m Euro's so presumably it's taking the exchange rate into account.

[eamonn]

It's still grossly under-valuing him.

Not sure how many people noticed, but he had a massive protective boot on his foot last night (during the lap of appreciation). So more ops and treatment by the looks of things.

He'll be a great addition to the squad if he can get back to a decent level of fitness. It is a worry though.

[Risso]

Think he'll be like Kamara and not back until getting on for Christmas.

My suspicions is he might have had it pinned after his first breakdown, but either the pin shifted and caused extra damage to the bone or rubbed through the flesh and skin.

He would have had another operation to fix the bones in place, and rather then 8 weeks (initial injury) or 6 weeks (reoccurrence) of healing, he now has four months. Hopefully that is enough, if it isn't then I can't see him playing football again.

[London Villan]

Obvious now why Emery said we wouldn't see him until next season.

[OCD]

Probably why we're being linked with players like Baena as well.

It could be with the end of the season coming, they've taken a slightly longer-term approach to his recovery.  It's been about 6 weeks since Unai confirmed he was out for the season, so it's surprising to see him still in a boot if it's genuinely a metatarsal, but maybe he had a pin inserted at the end of March to hold it in place while it healed, and that has recently been removed necessitating a boot for a while?

It's all very suspect, and though I have no doubt the club won't be issuing any updated on him before pre-season, it would be nice to see him out on the grass when everyone reports back.

I'm pretty confident this is the case, after 2 setbacks they've probably just decided to take the time and be much more careful with it, he's had a really rough year but I'd be surprised if he isn't back involved in pre-season and desperate to make up for the lost time.
