Hes gonna be number 16 right? Makes the most sense.

Probably keep the 41

Ramsey does feel like one of those players that it’ll take me a while to adjust to as an NUFC player. Some players are so clearly linked to a certain club and I’d say he’s up there among the league for having such a strong association with his hometown club

Anything from the past about why he’s 41 at Villa?

Anyone know the Villa fans opinion on this signing?

Seems pissed like we were over Anderson. Similar sort of sale.

Claret & blue podcast had a podcast out 6 days ago when he was offered a new deal then another 2 days ago when we bid. So you get both angles of him potentially going and him potentially staying. All in all they think he’s got so much potential, he’s a starter in their current side and he would be one of their best players if he got back to his best but ultimately in a PSR world £40m pure profit too much too turn down 

[Crimson Cardigan]

I’ve listened to a few Villa podcast about it. Generally they are trying to sell it to themselves as a good deal, and something they have to do, but there are clearly misgivings there, especially if he were to recapture his form with us.

If only there was a @brummie on here who could give us the low. Shame I don't think there's any Villa fans on here.

[relámpago blanco]

I think they don't want to lose him, but they probably won't be a great deal worse off without him. Looks like injuries have hampered him a bit and set back his progress.  I guess it's a good deal for both sides.

He’s going to get the Howe treatment, World Cup squad incoming.

Nah Henderson has got that spot nailed down.

1. His ability to to find pockets of space.

 

2. Bruno and Sandro’s ability to find pockets with progressive quick passing.

he's got great close control and turn, can just picture a tonali first time pass to feet and he takes it on the turn and bam, cross/shoot.

potential england world cup players: pope or ramsdale, tino, burn, hall, ramsey, gordon?

Most on here seemed delighted at getting 35m for him at the time.

Wasn’t that just because it meant we could keep Bruno & Gordon etc

I mean, it was a necessary 35m and I don't think it was clear we'd be buying the Greek Mark Gillespie for 20m in return. 

 

Personally, I was sad to see him go because I love watching a Geordie thrive at the club, but I accepted that loan deals wouldn't cut it for Anderson. As long as he knew a return to Newcastle was on the cards he was unlikely to fully commit to where he was at like he has at Forest. I think in the next few years you'll see buyback clauses replace loan deals. Top clubs will be happy to pay the difference (be it 10-15m) knowing they can't create the space to develop the player in house. Loan deals for young players have far too many downsides to work in the way needed. 

 

When I was a boy, loan deals were often times best used for young players that you wanted to experience senior football, usually across 1-3 months. Now they're season long and a byproduct of talent hoarding. It creates a loveless marriage whereby the loan player isn't too bothered about the outcome as they know they'll be back in the warm embrace of their parent club come summer, and the loan club doesn't have a huge incentive to develop them for the most part (unless they agreed to one of those crazy % deals where they pay more/less depending on gametime. Usually loan players are the first to suffer when a team struggles too. There will always be exceptions to the rule, but for the most part I find them a bit pointless, bar bedding in a player from abroad to the new culture.
