messi11 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 He looked like Zinedine Zidane at times in U23 football towards the end of last season and start of this season. Too easily for him Makes me wonder what the level of U23 is. If he can stay confident he will bang in a few goals for Cheltenham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 11 hours ago, wilko154 said: Cheltenham play five at the back, wing backs being the width. Three in the middle and two up front. Ramsey will play in the midfield. Crowley has just departed and so he will slot into his place quite nicely alongside Callum Wright on loan from Leicester. Jake Doyle-Hayes went there on loan a few seasons ago and was very good for them, although didn't make it at Villa. Oh right, how do the three in midfield play? Are they similar to our 3 man set up? 1 DM and 2 8s? Or 2 holding and a 10? Or just 3 CMs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although this changes in some games, Cheltenham were only promoted last season and so it's a challenging season for them. I think it will be well suited for Ramsey.

useless Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 There's a short video interview with Ramsey 'on his next step' here on the Cheltenham Tovn website. Comes across well, confident but without being arrogant, and excited by the loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I think it'll be a good loan for him once fit. Cheltenham are pretty much bang in the middle of the table, they aren't fighting relegation and have next to no chance of reaching the playoffs. They can afford to give him a lot of minutes and he can play without fear as a result. Considering how his brothers turning out and Aaron allegedly the better of the 2 (3?) I'm really excited to see how he does. Does anybody know who the Ramseys supported growing up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of thing you'd expect pundits, local media and the social team to have mentioned a couple times.

Oh that's a shame, I'd heard he was carrying a knock from England duty but thought it was weird as he's been training with us or Cheltenham for a little while and didn't think he had suffered a big injury.

You just had jack leave and what does it say about us as a club if our fans and academy players are leaving whenever anyone else comes in. We needed the feel good story when we were shit. But now it's about making progress and the narrative we are pushing is one of success not of a boyhood club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
