Jacob Ramsey

Good luck to the lad, fill your boots(pockets).
Where will he fit in, i have no idea, and care not a jot.

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.

Onana and Maatsen for the best part of £90M look like poor investments

Who is the best of our high spends? Most don’t seem to hit the heights as far as I can remember.

Or more correctly, we'll have the superior Rogers playing for us while they have JJ. Comparing Onana to him is strange as he wasn't signed to do the kind of thing JJ does, or did.

[Somniloquism]

Although Onana did get more goals....

[enigma]

£40m would have seemed cheap a couple of years ago but seems about right now. What's he actually done in the last two years? That foot injury really halted his progress. Good luck to him, I must admit to a twinge of regret at what might have been, but honestly this seems a decent outcome for all involved.

I disagree with this.  I think both are excellent players signed for the going rate.

[pelty]

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.

This is my view as well. He had half a good season and has been relatively poor ever since, not always through any fault of his own. And if he does not want to be here, then good luck to him.

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.

The same amount of league goals McGinn scored!

Ramsey was the best option on our left. Ideal if Maatsen was to kick on too and recreate the partnership he had with Moreno. We now have McGinn or Rogers to play there, neither who are comfortable there. Ramsey gave us balance too, now we are looking at shoe horning Onana or Asensio back into the team. Doubt Rogers will be happy back on one of the flanks.

Will be a lot more difficult for Ramsey to make the Newcastle team than ours.

Yeah, to me they both have improved and will continue improving. Onana has been a little fragile, but I can see exactly why we’ve purchased him. Maatsen initially didn’t appear to enjoy defending but certainly seems more tenacious and disciplined now . I do not have doubts about them anymore.

Count yourself lucky to have missed our last game at Old Trafford. Both were impossibly useless.

[LeeS]

If he’d gone to a Palace or a Brentford I’d be totally fine with this. But Newcastle is a serious rival for those top 5 places. I feel uneasy. But I wish him well, he’s always been a favourite of mine.

[PeterWithesShin]

We can point to a shit game every Villa player that's ever played for us has had, some on here just have a weird agenda against certain players.

Watkins / Konsa / Mings ?

Also using the Manu match when pretty much the only player to be anything other then Shit was Emi, but he stored all the crapness up for the 45th minute.
