Jacob Ramsey - Gone

[martin o`who??]

The plain and simple fact is its all been set up that you cant be masters of your own destiny anymore - particularly if you look like you might actually threaten the Sky six.
"Premier league corrupt as fuck" wasnt it??....

The only Ramse/ay that now means anything are Cole and George.

A very nice "goodbye" on AVFC

Villa Pravda:

Aston Villa can confirm that Jacob Ramsey has joined Newcastle United for an undisclosed fee.

The midfielder came through the ranks at Villa Park, making his debut in 2019. Following a loan spell at Doncaster Rovers, he enjoyed a breakthrough season in 2020/21.

He scored his first goal for the club in October 2021 and at the end of that campaign, picked up both the Players’ Player and Young Player of the Season awards.

An Under-21 international, he helped England win the Under-21 European Championship in 2023.

He made a total of 176 appearances in claret and blue, scoring 17 goals.

A homegrown talent, popular with fans and with his teammates, who went on to live the dream of Villa supporters across the globe, everyone at the club would like to thank Jacob for his service and wish him all the very best in his future career.

NUFC Pravda:

Newcastle United have completed the signing of attacking midfielder Jacob Ramsey from Aston Villa for an undisclosed fee.

The 24-year-old becomes the Magpies' fourth first team addition of the summer after penning a long-term deal at St. James' Park.

Jacob progressed through the academy ranks at Villa Park and went on to make 167 appearances in all competitions, scoring 17 times, after making his senior debut in 2019. Ten of those appearances came in the UEFA Champions League last season.

The midfielder has also represented England through the age groups and was part of the 2023 UEFA European Under-21 Championships-winning squad alongside new teammate Anthony Gordon.

Jacob will wear the number 41 shirt for Newcastle United this season.

After signing for the club, Jacob said: "I'm delighted to be here. It's been a mad two or three days, but I'm really happy to be here and I can't wait to get started.

"This is a big move for me, but as soon as I knew the gaffer was interested and really liked me, it didn't take much time to decide. His track record of developing players, especially those who have gone on to become internationals here, speaks for itself.

"It was always a tough game playing for Villa against Newcastle - the team is full of energy, so athletic and the fans are so passionate. I feel my game will suit that and I'm excited to be on the other end of it now."

Head Coach Eddie Howe said: "Jacob is another fantastic addition to our squad. His qualities will bring us something different on the pitch and he fits the profile of being young and hungry to develop, but also with a wealth of Premier League football under his belt.

"Jacob offers versatility and his directness in attack and has proven to be a real threat at this level in recent seasons. He performed very well in the Champions League last season too and we believe he'll be a major asset for us."

[martin o`who??]

He WAS one of our own.

[VILLA MOLE]

Goodbye grumpy, thanks for the memories

[aj2k77]

It's only Newcastle.

[kippaxvilla2]

I feel sick seeing him in that shirt.

[Richard E]

Not the end of the world. He’ll be out injured before long.

and Sir Alf.

Not sure what it was but something has seemed 'off' for a while, was it that 'it's only conference' comment? I think most in his shoes would have signed the contract extension with us and given it one more year.

[KevinGage]

There were rumours that we were trying to punt him out last summer due to Financial Fraud Play but he didn't want to go.

He's seen his brother moved on despite not wanting to leave, had similar treatment himself at one point (though we did offer him a new contract earlier in the year) so it's no surprise if he's been a tad unsettled.

This looks like a shit deal, partic with the fee involved for a player coming into his prime.

The next two incoming deals need to be right.

[PaulWinch again]

Can’t really wish him the best as that’d mean a rival doing well, but hope he has a fulfilling career - ideally after this move.

Jarring seeing him in another kit. These PSR, SCR, just grim.

Yep, he's a had a couple of indifferent seasons, but it still feels a bit gutting to be honest. Yes, we have Rogers and McGinn who can play in the same position so we can 'make do', but we need a quality squad to compete on all fronts and having to 'make do' isn't going to help with that.
