Jacob Ramsey for £40m to Newcastle on 10:54 - Aug 13 with 697 views | HighgateBlue | One has to remember that Cough Drops is 3 years younger, and also Ramsey only has 2 years left on his contract. Although maybe I'm being naive in referring to contracts, since I imagine they theoretically require the player to play football, and yet in practice that seems rather optional. |  | |  |
Jacob Ramsey for £40m to Newcastle on 10:54 - Aug 13 with 696 views | Dennyx4 | Think ii backs up the price we are asking for Omari. If he was going for much less, could see the argument. Hutchinson is much younger, both were Eng U21’s Villa also need to raise cash and selling a home grown product helps their PSR. If anything, think it backs up a price of £40m for Omari. |  | |  |
Jacob Ramsey for £40m to Newcastle on 10:55 - Aug 13 with 679 views | LankHenners | Villa are also perennially battling against PSR limits so £40m pure profit from an academy player would be seen as a good deal by them. |  |

I would say the fee is dictated by the market but also the value of the player to the club. Palace probably had offers for Zaha many times over.... but they knew they couldn't replace him and if they did it would cost a bomb. |  | |  |

Well Ramsey scores and assists in the PL so I guess they are different... |  | |  |
Jacob Ramsey for £40m to Newcastle on 10:59 - Aug 13 with 574 views | Bellevue_Blue | Our benchmark is Fernandes from Southampton IMO. Both played two full seasons of mens football, both 21. Fernandes had 4 assists and 2 goals last year, Omari had 3 goals and 2 assists. If they value Fernandes at between 50/ 60M then we would be mad to consider even close to 35. On this deal specifically, I think it's likely a PSR deal. Villa get 40M 'pure profit' for a squad payer that they could get more for but this gives them the chance to be more active in the market. You also have to consider the type of player Omari might be in 3 years when he is 24. Certainly could be much better than a villa squad player. [Post edited 13 Aug 11:00]

I know, borderline insulting and can only be to try and unsettle the player. |  | |  |
