Jacob Ramsey

[Olneythelonely]

Awful news. Great signing for Newcastle after a tough summer. Ideal replacement would have been Grealish who we let go to Everton. 40m barely scratches the surface of what JJ could be worth.

Maybe, it’s hard to know. He’s got lots of talent, but he’s also been very stop start. If it gives us the headroom to get a couple in and he wouldn’t sign a new deal then so be it.

Feels like he’s been on the bench or injured for the past two seasons.  Good player but if someone’s got to leave he probably impacts the first XI  the least.

A fully fit Ramsey is a cert on our left, sure it's been a while since we have seen that consistently, but otherwise we move McGinn or Rogers over. He was outstanding when Emery first came in. Was expecting big things from him this season.

Football has become depressing. Creative accounting more valued than creative football.

Guessand can play anywhere across the front 3 and as a 10.

He is a very decent player, but we can’t guarantee him reg 1st team football, going to a team in the CL so good for him. But we get £40million for a player who picks up injuries. Let’s see who we get in as replacement…

[Rudy Can't Fail]

We will probably replace him with Barnes.

Oh please. It's bad enough losing a talent like Ramsey, going to a club where their coach will probably get the best out of him, not to mention they'll once again be our rivals in challenging for the CL but taking Barnes off their hands would be criminal. For one, he only ever plays well against us.

That said, as much as I love all our players, I have no problem selling any of them if it means we replace them with better.

I personally have a feeling the replacemet is already here

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

If he wants to go and won't sign a contract, then the club doesn't really have any choice, other than to optimise the situation.

You'd hope/expect that there would be an "English Tax" on the Transfer fee - surely £40m sounds a bit light for a 24 yr old who ip to a couple of seasons ago was going to be our next wunderkind?

Hope we stick a proper sell-on clause and plenty of achievable add-ons.

And we need to piss about so he can't play against us at the weekend.

I’d agree with questioning the fee, considering his experience but also his untapped potential. You then look at the prices of some of the other transfers over the past few weeks.

They’re desperate, unless there’s some generous add ons we should try and screw a bit more out of them.

Yeah, prob announcement tomorrow.

[Ads]

I hope Man City win their battle, the days of this artifical financial hobbling of us cannot end quickly enough.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Exactly. Bailey playing on the left.

[Beard82]

Are we better as a squad with JJ or Evann and Marco? 

[LeeB]

Shite awful news.

[astonvilla82]

Has he left yet

[Rodders]

Pfffff. Newcastle are only a small club. I'm sure we have a buy back clause in the event of their relegation.

Yep.  I know many wouldn't agree, but if Ramsey is indeed  going then Grealish would have been have been a good replacement. 

That said, I think that position on the left is Rogers' strongest position and Guessand seemed to be playing there in a few clips of him I've seen.  If Rogers does play there, that leaves us short in the number 10. position though.

[VillaTim]

What a shite window .

[PeterWithesShin]

He could be worth a lot more, on the flip side a 3rd consecutive stop start season with 1 league goal and only 12 months left he'd be worth a lot less.
