Ramsey - if it happens (I bloody hope not) smells of a club signing considering we’ve reportedly wanted him for a few seasons.
What I don’t get, is why have we’ve gone to the trouble of restructuring, bringing in a competent manager, bringing Fabio Paratici back, knowing the blatant holes and deficiencies in the squad yet we’re still pursuing a player who will add next to nothing different to what we already have.
I’ve seen some mention about how he’s got very good ball retention similar to Dembele… he looks nothing like MB, he was a huge unit who was in full control of everything he did, he was cool, calm and collected, a truly wonderful player. Ramsey on the other hand looks clumsy and his ball retention is due to scrapping for the ball as opposed being dominant like MD.
Where does he play? Villa often use him as a wide forward. His record (assists and goals) for a 24 year old is pathetic. This has opportunistic purchase written all over it.

I only see a giant cunt on that second pic.
but here is a dick pic for you
Frank may want him to stay, but it could also be a way of getting Madrid to pony up the reddies required!

I’d say 2014, if not 2015. The term big 6 only got created around that time when Sky realised they needed a way to keep including United in conversations at the start of their decline during the Moyes and Van Gaal eras. Before that point the media only really spoke about the top 4 club and we were routinely left out of that. We became a big 6 level club in like 2009, but the media actively ignored the progress the club had made at the time for a while.
I vividly remember going on Facebook and twitter at the time and a pretty common opinion was people wondering where this ‘big 6’ term came from and I’m sure a few others remember that as well.
There's a Wikipedia page about it that I didn't know existed.
thanks for your reply.

Ange wanted some experienced signings, but let's not forget that many of the youngsters played a lot last season and are now per definition experienced Premier League players 
Worth noting that I think between '76 and '01 the club won 5 out of 7 finals (excl. charity shield), and between '01 and '26 the club has won 2 out of 6 finals.
So the number of finals is one less, but our ability to get across the line has suffered.
I doubt anyone could call the period of '76 to '01 equally or more competitive as it has been in the last 25. The economic scales have exploded into new motivations for winning things (such as sports washing and arguably some level of money laundering in terms of the post-communism oligarchs)
We wont be signing top class players, only those who we hope to be top signings in the future, probably for othe club's.
You are right , they won the PLWE CANT DO A LEEDS
No they didn't
I very doubt that Atleti are even reading, let alone considering what Ali Gold is reporting about Thomas Frank’s wishes.
They know that Levy is the one they need to deal with and they will either pay or they won’t.
They’ve already forked out enough this summer that they likely need to sell someone before they invest again anyway.
99% they wait it out until next summer and Romero stays but doesn’t sign an extension.

Winning creates expensive expectations.
They’ve successfully dodged those expectations for 25 years, it’s time to beat those back down again.

The problem with that is next summer Real might come calling and that’s them done, Romero will go there. An additional issue for us is Real could low ball us knowing he can sign a pre contract in Jan.
I don’t know what the ideal solution is, but I am confident we will shoot ourselves in the foot
