AARON RAMSEY FROM VILLA

Looks like having Aaron Danks on the coaching staff is paying dividends. Shame we can't sign any of these promising Villa youngsters permanently. Maybe in the Summer if we go up.
 
Excellent signing, competition for McGree I think, and understudy to Chuba?

We've got some very solid options in the final third all of a sudden!
 
Think he's a forward attacking midfielder number 10 replacement for Duncan.
Very different player though, he'll play in front of the back line rather than looking to run in behind. Big upgrade in terms of technical ability as well.

Given we effectively play with two number 10s (McGree and Chuba) this lad will be excellent competition for them.

(he's just played 20 games for them this season)

Some quotes:

He has been a massively important player for us this season. Pity Smith wasn't given more credit for having got him here in the first place and for coaching the lad to deliver well for us to a good level or we might not have had to say goodbye to him.

Definitely one of the brighter points of Smith's reign. It's a real shame that Hayden couldn't be the other. the injury's we had under Smith have really been a problem hopefully our luck starts to turn and we can get someone on loan (Creative or defensive mid perhaps?) to replace him, and players like AO and Idah stay fit for the remainder.

And there was no arguing with the fact that he was a good player thriving under Smith, reinforcing the point that he was a good coach who deserved backing when we were at the top.

Was one of our better attackers this season so hopefully the fact he's gone back gives us a loan option to get someone else in.

Ramsey in a wheelchair is still better than McLean


But left them on January 1st injured in a wheelchair???
 
Where does he play

Says hes a centre midfielder - is he one of those fluffy attacking midfield types with zero defenisve attributes or can he do a role wide?

If Akpom is the number 10, i can only assume the club see him as a wide option
 
I do like these under the radar sudden announcements, time was we leaked rumours of deals like a broken sieve (and we'd end up getting pipped to a signing as a result). However, it looks like we're gradually becoming more water tight at the moment regarding transfer rumours. (Cue someone telling me 'PubBoreGobsh1te' on twitter has been tweeting about this deal for 3 weeks!)
