Exactly. Whats the point in having a good youth system with our most exciting crop of youngsters in decades if you just keep filling the the squad up with fodder like Solomon, Werner and Ramsey.Also takes away minutes from our own prospects. Not a fan of the move at all.

Well i'd say Eze is better than Maddison and would go straight into the team. He'd also be an option off the left and hopefully see Solomon sold and Werner limited to minutes. Ones a quality player and improves the 11, the other a player trade, padding out the squad.I'm sorry but that same excuse can be used for splashing 70m on Eze too.

Yes I know we were 4-0 down but Toney gives you none of the things Richy brought to get us back into that game.

City - HaalandI guess there should be a queue of Top 6 teams lining up to sign him then?
Yes.
Exactly. Looks a good deal and in line with our policy.I mean, the story really seems to have taken off now.
On paper:
>replace a non-HG player with a HG one
>28 year old out, 23 year old in
>Lo Celso basically permacrocked/not fancied for us and Ramsey might see some minutes
Can't complain, really.
Famous my foot….
Don't forget, Lange will be familiar with Ramsey too from his time at Villa.Exactly. Looks a good deal and in line with our policy.
We have a fantastic crop of youth which should set us up for years to come and we’re adding more good, young (and English) players
And people are still complaining
I know who he is but he’s not famous .
City - Haaland
Liverpool- Nunes
Villa - Watkins
United - Hoijland
Newcastle- Isaak
Pretty much leaves us, Chelsea Woolwich From the top 8
He always plays the same, just a one trick Poney
We need first team players and then the youngsters can become the squad players. What good does buying squad players do to them? Its just pointless fiddling around on the peripharies.But that's still limiting young players' minutes, no?
When Ramsey was 21 years old, he got 6 goals and 7 assists in 2,646 minutes for a pretty average Villa side in the league...
Eze was playing Championship football at that age. And at the age Ramsey is now, Eze managed 4 goals and 6 assists...
Ramsey is also an option on the left.
He's a good player who has the potential to be a really really great player. Has always been the case. And if we replace Lo Celso for him, I'd be very happy. Because that guy is a waste of space.
If however, he's one of our only attacking signings, I will be disappointed. Though I don't believe that to be the case.
Just like I don't believe the story in the first place.
Ultimately, any signing we make going forward is going to limit a youngster in some way. We had a promising player like Donley, Devine ... We still signed Bergvall. We have Lankshear, Veliz etc yet we're still trying to sign a striker..
It's down to those youngsters to improve and prove themselves.
