Czarnikjak Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Just now, CarryOnVilla said: I have a hunch this bid wasn’t recent. I think a couple weeks ago when there were a few Lo Celco links being checked about, And when the club essentially confirmed JJ wasn’t for sale. When did the club confirmed JJ is not for sale? Honestly don't remember them saying that especially recently. Everyone is for sale...at a right price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoVillan1983 Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 I bet this was when they thought we were screwed on FFP, just like when they thought we were going broke with Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChicagoVillan1983 Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Even if we medium term did want to sell him, this management isn't dumb enough to sell a player at their lowest point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone is for sale...at a right price. You must have missed Unai’s previous comments… Quote “I am not thinking about letting him leave, even in the case some teams are offering us a lot,” said Emery. “Right now I don’t want that – I completely don’t want that. I want to work with him and try and help him increase his level because I am selfish and I want him at his best for me. “We can both benefit from that. His future now is with Aston Villa. In all my conversations with him his commitment to Aston Villa is clear.” posted a video of him talking about JJ a page or two ago. Comments back at the end of January and when articles kept claiming he was available because of PSR/FFP. A direct response to and denial of that.

mallett Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 It seems to me that Ramsey is very unlikely to be sold this summer. 1. As stated above, in January Unai stated that he wanted to keep Ramsey. 2. Because Ramsey is currently our only player with a realistic chance of playing in the UCL who has come through our academy, he effectively increases the size of our UCL squad. 3. He has had a recurring long term injury following the operation on his broken metatarsal which means that buying clubs aren’t going to want to spend a huge amount of money on him until after he has proved he is completely over it. Presumably he was fit enough to pass some sort of medical evaluation each time he came back last season only to breakdown again with complications from the injury when he started playing. That would put a lot of buying clubs off. 4. We don’t want to sell him now as due to his injury he will be at his lowest value for (hopefully) years.

CVByrne Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Ramsey is one of the players in our squad with the potential to have a massive breakout season and become the best player at the club. His strength and ability to drive with the ball forward and along with his goal threat. He's going to be a big player if he puts his fitness issues behind him. He's a fight on though with Rogers for that left side 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 I'm not sure why players like Diaby and Ramsey are being linked with moves away. Losing Luiz was a blow, but that should be the end of it given we've also offloaded Iroegbunam and Kellyman and Duran is still likely to leave. Then I imagine we will find new homes for Cash, Carlos and Moreno. That should give us cash to spend next month to bring in 2-3 quality players. You just wonder how bad our financial issues really are. Hopefully all is fine and these are just baseless rumours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we'd have gone there if we didn't have the other deals bubbling away, but feels as though Spurs completely underestimated Monchi and threw in the archetypal 'cheeky bid'. clearings in the woods.

Tubby Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 (edited) To think we made it to the top four without JJ. Him coming back and playing at his level, will be like a new signing for us this season. Edited June 27 by Tubby 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMcGrath_5 Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 He's so good when fully fit--the speed in which he runs when carrying the ball is fantastic. Looking forward to seeing him in pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree on the whole, but Rogers had not signed/had only just signed in Jan. I'm not sure how the two of them would integrate into the same team. Having both in the squad would be brilliant, but they seem to like the same areas of the pitch. If a way could be found to have them both in the team it would be pretty exciting.

The_Steve Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 JJ is a vital talent for us - and a great homegrown name. He ain’t going anywhere anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 He must be absolutely determined to make this a season to remember given his absence and the opportunity Villa now have in the league and the UCL. I'd put him down as potential player of the season for us this year, it's his time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichW Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Be surprised if he is sold this summer now that we have sold Tim and Kellyman but I guess you never know. Sure the club will be hoping he can stay relatively injury free next season as his fee would probably be higher and likely interest from other clubs. Didn't expect Luiz to end at Juventus, probably see Ramsey going abroad (Bayern Munich). If Villa do have another good season they'd be reluctant to strengthen one of the big boys in this division.

Yes, if he has a decent, injury free, season I can see us selling him next June for good money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MachoFantastico Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 I guess we should expect it from the Spuds but that's a crap offer for Ramsey. £20 million and Le Celso? Are they kidding? £20 million is a complete joke of an offer and Le Celso isn't good enough to lace up Ramsey's boots. I'd be offended by that offer.
