Jacob Ramsey

[Pat Mustard]

I still think this is one of those situations where the outcome is good for all parties.  Ramsey is going somewhere he is likely to have more guarateed game time and a lot more money, Newcastle have got a good and potentially great player on their hands if everything goes right, and we have got a much needed £40 million to spend on more urgent priorities. 

It doesn't always have to be that someone has had their pants pulled down in a transfer - I say good luck to him and we move on with hopefully a stronger squad as a result.

[Mister E]

With Joelinton, Tonali, Barnes, Murphy, Willock, Guimaraes, Miley, Gordon, Elanga in their squad, where will our Jacob actually fit? Willock and Barnes are probably the weakest of that group, but I wonder how long Howe will try and play Ramsey as a first-choice before accepting that he might only be a squad player (like he's been with us, to be honest).
I think we may see Ramsey as Howe's vanity project ...

... but maybe I expressing a 'sour grapes' view of the situation.

The price changed in the space of minutes.

Inflation is out of control.

Labour Government, innit?

The fee is about right. He's a sub for the most part. He only scored 1 league goal last season. He's not pushed on as he might have mainly down to injuries. He's not a prospect anymore at 24. It's obviously shit that we can't keep a hold of a player that does add value when he plays but it's not like we're selling what most would consider a starter.

He was one of our brightest prospects when Gerrard was manager. He's at the stage where he either starts reaching the levels he looked capable of back then or he'll be at Southampton in a couple of years.

The fee is £39M with £5M in “difficult” add ons. What exactly is difficult add ons? Like do we get that say if Newcastle somehow win the French first division?

[VancouverLion]

If he signs today can he play Saturday?

He’ll be telling Eddie all we’ve been working on and preparing for all week.

sad day but the world will continue to turn .

I think it means Ant and Dec are going to see if he can eat a Kangaroo anus faster than some bloke off The Only Way is Essex

[Smirker]

Decent fee tbh.

It's not the end of the world.

Also no hate from me toward him.

Good luck Jacob.

Plus he turned down multiple contracts to stay with his boyhood club. So clearly we tried to make it work despite all our financial challenges and restrictions

That is a bit disappointing.

I’m guessing we won’t sign the paperwork our end until after the Friday 12 noon deadline has passed for registering players for Saturdays game

Can we do that?

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.

Does it? He's going to be starting games in the Champions League this season. We'll have Onana, a player with half of JJ's technique, labouring for us in the Europa League.
