Jacob Ramsey

That didn't answer either of the things I said. What would his value be after another season like the last 2 abd with 12 months left on his contract?

[PaulWinch again]

If he had another season like the last 2 he'd be worth a lot less. Why not think about that as well? Or again, maybe he wants to leave. Should we keep a player that doesn't want to be here?

Any player can get seriously injured. He wasn't that bad last season in any case (performances when fit or fitness wise). Anyway it's done.

No he wasn’t bad, but he wasn’t maintaining a value of £40m with one year on his deal good either.

Unlikely to be a lot less than 40m I would say. Why not the last 3 seasons?

[PeterWithesShin]

It would be 3 consecutive seasons of disappointing form if he had another. That's why it would be a lot lower than 40m.

It’s football. Players leave, and this is a position we have plenty of puff in. It’s not the end of the world. Ramsey, due mostly to injury, hasn’t got to the level I hoped he would. He’s not looking to extend his contract. Take the money and run.

Does this move free us up to do anything useful in the remainder of the transfer window?

Applause.

Right time to sell. Balance of probabilities over the past few years for me is we’ve got a good deal.  If we did need to sell as well to balance the books it makes sense.

Not progressed as we’d hoped over the past 2 years - when Gerrard was in charge 4 years ago he was talking him up as an England squad contender and for one reason or another it hasn’t happened.

Dead to me. We move on.

[Toronto Villa]

He’s not one of our own, not one of our own….Jacob Ramsey, he’s not one of our own.

I'll never forget you Jimmy.

The Barcodes will sing his song at us tomorrow so be brave and no sobbing on the Brum canals, okay?

[Toronto Villa]

They can sing what they want at 3-0 down

The Barcodes will sing his song at us tomorrow so be brave and no sobbing on the Brum canals, okay?

For about 10 minutes until they're 2 down.

BBC Football wanking over the idea of Villa being a selling club and back where we should be. Ramsey meanwhile, is stepping up to the next level. To a club who win a domestic trophy every 70 years...

[London Villan]

In the cold light of day, we have just sold a squad player for £40m.
