Nothing is guaranteed with the lad, and 60m of pure profit would be hard to resist, and could be used to sign two quality players. I'm not saying I want it to happen, I just think it'd give the brass food for thought. But what does that mean for our club? I'm not sure purslow is in a position to happily accept £60m for a local lad doing well for us, once again it will be a case of forget market value what does it mean for us going forward And £60m won't buy us 2 good players... We're struggling to buy a new number 8 as it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can improve the other side of his game which in my opinion is mainly is passing ability then we have a future top international star on our hands. When he runs at defenders in space it feels like there us nothing they can do to stop him sometimes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the manager sees a lot of similarities between the two and that can only be good for the development of his game. He's still only young and has lots to learn, he will have games were he's anonymous but as time goes by he'll have an impact on more games, giving the opposition more to think about an ultimately giving the players around him more space to work in. I think he'll work well with EB as the season progresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 No club is going to offer the money the club would accept for this lad. Maybe in a couple of seasons if he continues to progress. But not yet. He is going nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May-Z Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Ramsey (and every other player in the 11) is being stitched up by the formation and (lack of) tactics It's hanging them all out to dry each week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyAnty Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 He’s shouldn’t be starting games. Villa fans are blinded because he has been there from start. Really isn’t the complete player fans think he is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we are probably about his level now though, and by that I mean bottom half of prem. if anyone come in with 40m let alone 80m we should driving him there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like half the goals we concede come from mcginn not tracking his man or pressing on the edge of the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooJung Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Many will think I'm overreacting, but I honestly believe he needs a loan to the championship, even if only for half a season. He needs to be the best player in a team and being constantly passed the ball. That will teach him how to actually be present throughout the game and how to take responsibility, rather than shying away. We can't afford to carry him if he's only going to show up for 5 minutes per game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
