Ronaldo Posted August 17, 2025 Share Posted August 17, 2025 £39m gets you very little in 2025. Good signing. He will absolutely be pushing to start when fully fit and we need exactly that in midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a slight on him at all btw, just rate Tonali Bruno and Joelinton that much. Think he'll be a terrific signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well aye, that's kind of my point; how much inflation there's been in the last three years.

Andy84 Posted August 17, 2025 Share Posted August 17, 2025 He made 40 appearances for them last season apparently, albeit not a lot of 90s so availability doesn’t seem to be an issue. Hopefully we get him back to his best level Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those games where big Joe wasn't fully fit, he can now take a break. Always talk of a niggle here or there, hopefully we get full on beast mode more often as he won't be asked to play whenever he can.

Clearly acknowledges he needed a new environment and challenge and he chose us. He clearly trusts Howe and has goals to get into England. Seems like a decent lad too. Basically cost us 25-30M to upgrade Longstaff, so for a 24 year old future England prospective, this is a great bit of business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted August 17, 2025 Share Posted August 17, 2025 I think the lad will push Joelinton out the side tbh - I think we’ve lacked technical ability on the left side of midfield for some time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted August 17, 2025 Share Posted August 17, 2025 We're going to need at least 6 or 7 contributing midfielders this season given the number of games we're going to be playing and Ramsey ticks a big box for me. He'll get at least 40 appearances this season and looking forward to seeing what he can do. We're going to have to relent a bit at some point and understand, as a fanbase, that we simply can't name Bruno, Tonali and Joelinton every single game - that just won't work this season, we need to manage minutes carefully and if that means we need to go with Ramsey, Bruno and Miley to start the CL game on the Wednesday night and go Joelinton, Tonali and Bruno (subbed on 60 for Miley or whatever) for the league game on the Saturday then we just need to accept it. It's about looking after the minutes and legs of the squad and trying to find the right compromise to keep everyone as fit and happy as possible. It's going to be difficult as fuck tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted August 17, 2025 Share Posted August 17, 2025 I think this lad is going to be mustard. Criminally underrated. It’s hard to quantify. But I feel like from watching him play and all the comments since he has signed. That he just ‘gets it’. I feel like that counts for a lot in this game and he will be fully bought into what Howe, the club and the fans want. I’m Joelinton’s biggest fan and he is king of the intangibles. But I think Ramsey is that good. That he’ll be the starting LCM by the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
