supermon Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Think he leaves with fond memories, got us some crucial goals. Think he could come good if given time but I doubt we'd buy him on permanent contract. May be better calibre of players with higher output, especially now we have Champions League 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfTimePost Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 He knew it straight away, was pointing it out he knew it. Another medium term injury is horrid for him, he clearly has talent, he doesn't have the consistency to become a key player in a good team. It's a shame for him because his body keeps failing him every time he's in a position to really kick on with his career. Selfishly, at least we don't have to debate the pros and cons of keeping him. It didn't quite go to plan for him here and this is a fairly neat way of ending his loan spell here without need for debate. I like watching Nico though, a shame it didn't quite go to plan here for him. Wish him all the best. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 It’s pretty bad news for his career. He won’t secure a good transfer back to Italy with a broken foot. Might have to spend another season in Turkey rebuilding his reputation with the aim to secure a move in January or next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taxahunter Posted May 17 VT Supporter Share Posted May 17 2 hours ago, MrBlack said: A broken metatarsal along with his other injuries just indicates to me a body that can't cope with the PL. Defintely a player in there, but not one I think we should sign if we don't have to. Shame we didn't get to see more of what he's capable of. A broken metatarsal doesn’t indicate anything like you mention, it would be the same to suggest Ramsey can’t cope… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the previous ACL, the hamstring, the back, and now the foot screams injury prone. Whether it's style of play or genetics. He is very likely to continue suffering from injury. Edit: add calf, shoulder and a second ACL to the above. Edited May 17 by MrBlack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s all impact injuries, he has just been unlucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree if they were muscle injuries, but nothing you can do about these ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a player in there for sure but with his injuries and the price tag I think it’s just too many ifs buts and maybes around him. I’d look elsewhere I think. Not sure we'll even look elsewhere. Buendia, Rogers and Ramsey is more than enough quality and depth for that left hand side of the attack for next season. Since moving to 4-3-3 Diaby has also been playing left side and Bailey also played there for us loads of times. If Zaniolo is signed then to me there's probably something in Ramsey being sold this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he was brought in due to Buendia’s absence, temporary support for Ramsey, and Rogers is the permanent version of that, reckon he was probably gone end of this term anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMcGrath_5 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I might copy and paste this comment in the Zaniolo thread. Thanks for the season, unfortunately not up to the standard and we need better going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are quite a few rumours here about clubs being interested in him next season. Could well be on a similar deal to us - season long loan with a pre-agreed transfer fee if it works out. 5 Italian teams in the CL and some decent squads in the other European competitions too. A lot of the Roma "heat" will have died down by now too so pretty much as long as he doesn't sign for Lazio he should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_AA_786 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 After a mixed season, nobody was going to pay a full fee for him so hopefully the injury doesn't alter things. I'm sure an Italian team will still look at getting him on loan with an option Just wish him all the best as he really tried and got us some crucial goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the season, unfortunately not up to the standard and we need better going forward. I think it shows our standards now that we don't think an Italian international is good enough as back up to our first XI. He never looked really settled at Villa and looked a bit lost. Feel a bit sorry for him in terms of his career in the last few years and that injury is a final kick in the sack to miss the euros.
