Jacob Ramsey - Gone

[pelty]

I maintain Ramsey didn’t want to leave.

Whether he wanted to leave or not is immaterial if he wouldn't sign the contracts we were offering him. As I said a few days ago, he's not in the wrong for holding out for what he knew he could get elsewhere but we're also not in the wrong for deciding what our limit was and sticking to it and then letting hi leave on our terms for a fee we're happy with when talks broke down.

100% this. There literally was a contract on the table and had been for months, according to reports, and he did not sign it. That is completely within his rights, and I applaud him for holding out for a contract that came close to what he believed he is worth, but I do not blame the club for sticking to their guns as well. Blame the system.

£40M feels £20M too low though . And to a direct rival .

Really? 60m for Jacob Ramsey?

[VillaTim]

Why  not , Saints want £50m for Dibling and he's much better than him. 24 and on the cusp of the England squad too as mentioned by Tuchel .

[pauliewalnuts]

They might want 50m, but they haven't got it.

Elvis might still reappear.

Jacob's ceiling is £60m if he can get back to his 2023 form. It pains me to say that I hope he doesn't but fear he will.

Out injured for a month. Sorry to say I was thankful to read this.

I saw some headline where he's meant to have said that the players at Newcastle are better. Didn't bother reading the article.

[kippaxvilla2]

Misleading clickbait.  He was basically saying that Howe has made the likes of Gordon better players.

[Sexual Ealing]

Ramsey reminds me of the Stone Roses - did a couple of decent things several years ago and fuck all since, and yet is spoken of in reverential tones as the culmination of the dreams of the masses. It's weird.

He reminds me of a tampon and on that note, he's out for the month with an ankle injury.

[Drummond]

He was good for us. At times. And his ceiling is high. But he won't reach it enough. Which is a shame, for him.

Shame for the lad but his injury record is atrocious. It doesn't matter how good a player is if he's injury prone then he's of little use. Not our problem now and I'd guess it was in the club's thinking that it would be foolish to up his wages to keep an injury waiting to happen.
