ZL- Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Other than JPB, Jacob Ramsey I think may have come out of this pre-season with his reputation most furthered. Dean and the staff clearly very much rate him despite some of his performances stalling in what was a very shakey midfield during a very shakey league performance time from feb - may. The main issue for me with Jacob is I'm not sure which midfield role he is best suited for seems to have equal parts of a 6, 8 and 10. Perhaps 10 is least likely but would certainly be servicable there.He seems to have bulked up a lot this summer ready for the more physical CM roles but the issue with him in either 6 or 8 is I'm very much unsure of who he would be a good partner with. If we do manage to get another CM of JWP level I think it could actually be well placed for Jacob to be the partner, he desperately needs a more experienced head to guide him through the game in CM and the style Dean wants to have at 6 where they are equally comfortable with the ball as well as sitting could suit the all round nature of Ramsey as he could fill in should JWP progress the ball upfield or similarly could bomb on knowing JWP taking a position in front of the centrebacks. The marquee CM signing really could be the best thing for Jacobs development as I think he's already ready and doesn't need a loan yet will continue to get lost in a midfield with McGinn or Luiz next to him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted August 9, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 9, 2021 3 hours ago, GENTLEMAN said: I suppose he could develop into the role. he has the energy and reading to do so. I still see him a little further forward though. He reminds me a little of Dembele of Fulham/Spurs fame. An aggressive ‘pressurer’ and ball carrier. Yea I think he's more box to box too, he's got some competition there though with us. If he manages to get some starts ahead of Sanson, McGinn, Luiz, that means he's at a very good level already. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I see a lot in him that I saw in Andre Green. Gets into great positions off the ball, makes great runs into dangerous areas at good times, and I am thinking you should have a bunch of goals already mate, if for a bit of luck and a fraction of a second here or there. ...but you're not impacting games on the ball, you're a bit timid and you need to fast at this level become a dominant character. I hope he has it in him because he looks like a footballer and has no reason not to start really progressing his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolta Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Yeah he looked good. He looked our best CM and I say that thinking he needed a loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I hope Sanson comes back good because I'd like to see a Douglas-Sanson-Ramsey midfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance of a loan, he will be starting regularly if we don't strengthen our middle in the window. Played well today, competed in the challenge and didn't let anyone passed him without a real battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted August 14, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 14, 2021 He's absolutely dog shit. Yes he's young and I"m sure he has a big future. But he shouldn't be anywhere near the team at the moment. If he's featuring regularly we have huge problems. Toilet 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Not convinced by him. But one thing in his favour he seemed to have lost his tentative approach. He came on and tried to make an impact and took responsibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwi1890 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 It was obvious from the effort and time we put into him that he would feature heavily this year, let’s keep supporting this young man he’ll only get better he will have bad games as most youngsters do, I feel the need to constantly defend him as he’s never good enough for some but they’re happy enough moaning for Chukwemeka to start what happens when he doesn’t score or assist? Do we write him off like many have with Ramsey? Key word patience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the best midfielder today. So by that logic, it's the people he replaced and up staged who should be loaned out. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
