Jacob Ramsey

Look on the bright side...he could fail the medical.

Main downside of JJ leaving is one less spot in the A list.

Another downside is that he won't be adding to our tally of England internationals. At least he's not going to Spurs.

If Guessand can add a few goals then surely we’ll be better off than we have been for the last 2 seasons with Ramsey.
I’m not saying I wanted Ramsey to go as I rate him but simply that he’s been injured. I don’t see this making us worse off as much as we didn’t want him to go.

He only missed 10 games last season, big improvement from almost a complete write off from the previous year.

His form was a bit mixed last season (Wolves away he had a shocker from memory) but for me it was more to get him confident in his body again. Liverpool away, our best player by miles until he limped off, you were wondering what his future was. He gave us much needed balance in the team that the likes of Rashford failed to on that side . The season before we tried loads there, likes of Zaniolo, Rogers, McGinn etc but nobody came remotely close to Ramsey the previous season. McGinn only got 1 x PL goal last season too but I don't see the stats merchants going on about it here. Playing wide in our midfield is a tough role that suits both JJ and McGinn perfectly.

Was it Brugge he came on and made a huge impact? Man City away he was stupidly replaced by Emery when playing really well and winning the peno. His general form certainly wasn't bad last season either.

Time will tell. Unfortunately we are battling against the tide and may have to sell someone else next season. As I said, if Guessand begins well, we won’t miss him. That’s not down to his ability but the last 2 seasons.

£38mil according to Sky a few mins ago.

Now £43mil

Probably with the add-ons.

The price changed in the space of minutes.

Inflation is out of control.

Im not really fussed either way about this one, I like him but after 5 years were still describing him as one with potential.

More concerning is thats £250m of academy graduates sold in 4 years and we can barely compete.

[London Villan]

Questions - Would he have been in our best starting 11? Probably not. Will he be in Newcastle's best starting 11? Probably. That sums it up really.

As gutting as this is I’m losing one of our own, it does seem that we have given him the opportunity to stay, so it’s not like we’ve pushed him out of the door.

I'm sure there will be one or two posting on here that Monchi is forcing the move and selling on the cheap so should be sacked by the club asap. They also posted the same about Duran (strangely not at the time) and then when we sold Martinez and Watkins.....

With some, it’s always a drama and instead of reading the reasons it’s more fun blaming the club at every opportunity.

When a state owned club can’t compete then it shows you the size of the task we face. When someone does challenge the usuals just spend their way out of it.

I wonder if this was a factor. https://x.com/NUFCblogcouk/status/1955702326993334739

Apparently Eddie Howe is their client as well.

[PeterWithesShin]

Some will think we've been robbed as they think he can get back to the player he was a couple of years ago, some will think 40m is more than decent for a player that hasn't contributed much for 2 years and and already has his best form behind him.

I think the fee is modest, but that's not the most galling thing here.  It's that we're selling one of our brightest prospects (a home grown one at that) to Newcastle Utd.  It looks and feels totally wrong from all angles aside from 'comply with the rules'.
