We’re bracing ourselves again.  Apparently.

£50m for Ramsey?! - dream on, baby!!
We shouldn't been even considering moving him on and the starting bid would need to start with a 7 or 8.

I'm holding my breath over the FFP future of Villa.  If the 138m loss story is true then some maneuvering will be necessary.  Be that selling Dougie for a horrendous price tag (I'm not suggesting this is a good idea before anybody starts) and replacing him for a third of that with Palacios...well, you could see it happen. However the rules could change, this season's debacle of lawyers trying to tun the FFP laws will not be allowed to continue, the prospect of the relegation battle not being decided until after the last day of the season is a massive emnarrasment to "THE GREATEST COMPETITION ON THE PLANET", as they would like it to be known.

Why would Ramsey go to Newcastle?

Why would Ramsey go to Newcastle?

This was my immediate thought. I know we might have to sell some players, but at least we won’t have a Grealish type scenario with Ramsey agitating for a move to Newcastle, I mean why would he?

To use his boxing skills on horses?

Why would Ramsey go to Newcastle?

And Newcastle are in exactly the same boat as we are FFP wise, so why the fuck are they a worry to us?

Newcastle United, who the hell are they? Exaaacctly!

[Somniloquism]

On that note, the original "who are they? Egggsactly" have sacked their managerial team overnight.

Shit, hadn’t thought of that. He’s definitely off then, damn those horse punching bastards

[Brazilian Villain]

Still being linked with targets, despite the fact that we have to sell our best players.
